Garage night, 6 August

This one's for all the original UK garage fans out there. 

Days Like That, a brilliant little party down at The Russian Bar in Dalston, returns for its next knees-up on Friday 6 August.

DJs making you go brockwile include Sunship ('Try Me Out'), Dem 2 and DEA Project's DJ Para.

Those of you who loved garage the first time round should come to relive the good ol' days - minus the attitude. Dance music lovers who aren't familiar with the scene will soon discover that this is the root of a very a la mode style (even Rusko's making it), future garage. Go figure.

Dem2 exclusive UK garage mix

Occasionally  I pack up my pride and joy, aka my garage vinyl, and head for Dalston to play at hilarious two-step party Days Like That and its sister act, 90s night Why So Serious? 

The next Days Like That is on Friday 30 April at The Russian Bar. Playing this month are classic garage headliners Dem2, Ray Hurley and the brilliantly wicked DJ Scott Garcia, who dropped a most megatronic set last time.

You like a blog, don't you? Good. Then go check out Days like That's new stomping ground, dayslikethatgarage.blogspot.com 

To celebrate the blog launch, they're giving away a sultry garage mix by Dem2. Download it now now now!
