Matinee Special


Hey Folks,

Well, with the capital’s pride weekend well and truly behind us, what can we look forward to in the remainder of a month in gAylist/land London? (which seems to be flying past!). Well, there seems to be one club on everyone’s lips & one venue which is making a real impact on the scene. Want a clue?, well the club begins with “M” and the venue begins with “C”………..Got it?

Yes, the club is of course Matinee, which has found a new home, the venue being Cable, a match truly made in heaven for a whole host of reasons, but more of that later. Oliver Mohns & his team at Evolved Events have taken the bold step to evolve Matinee London, waving goodbye to Vauxhall & ringing in the changes with a bespoke venue that we are sure will prove its best home yet. Saturday 25th July, sees Matinee in the capital truly come of age, with its “Evolution – Revolution” party and we can tell you now that you need to be prepared to be blown away by the production, by the shows, by the music & not least by the venue.

It may be a new home, but all the ingredients that have made Matinee a success will be there, with a star studded D.J. line up including Paul Heron, Pagano, Brent Nicholls, Pier Morrocco & Alessandro (more names to be released) across three floors of fun. Add to that, what is billed to be the best shows & performances yet by Mark M Form’s Fierce crew of sexy dancers, combined with the biggest production seen at any Matinee party. Need we say more< (we could, believe us)although what we will say is get your tickets fast, as this is going to be a sellout. And you can go now to http://evolvedevents.co.uk/ to grab advance £13 tickets, with general sale releases at the usual Soho outlets due sometime this week.

We have devoted a special “preview” of the forthcoming Matinee party & Cable, not least to give you a full insight to the changes (the evolution) but to answer the inevitable questions that may arise about the venue. Catch this full post at our new addition to the family, http://discomattpreview.blogspot.com/, but here are two extracts to wet your appetite.

“…..Ever since its London launch, Matinee has been renowned for making every effort to keep things fresh, listening to its customers and aiming to put on the best parties in town, with quality being the name of the game. Previous homes at Area, Fabric & most recently Colosseum, have delivered in their own way, but in reality have never given us the full package, the truly gAylist experience we expect from such a massive club brand. With Cable however, we believe the team have all the resources at their hands to achieve this in bucket loads, not least….”

“….Cable’s high tech sound systems, state of the art coatcheck, glamorous bar areas & chillout zones are definitely going to be a hit with Matinee’s demanding & well educated clubbers, but, like us, we expect they will be taken a back by the understated yet stylish combination of brick, metal, leather & wood, that remind us a little of Fabric, but are designed to amazing effect creating a unique combination of space & intimacy that sets Cable it aside from its rival. Then there are the toilets….”

If you can’t wait to see what the venue looks like, why not go to http://seenqueen.com/ select the “club pix” section & click on the “Matinee moves to Cable” link.

More news & details will follow in our “Stop Press” & “Weekend Recommendations” posts up-coming. But if Saturday 25th July and a date with Matinee at Cable on Bermondsey Street is not in your diary, put it in now!

Be There!
