XOYO is known for its residencies, which are always pretty special. It does a little more than simply clubbing, operating night and day and boasting art, film, theatre and more. The residents are always amazing, too, with the likes of Ben UFO, Flava D and Motor City Drum Ensemble among the recent incumbents. Got a sore head after a night spent dancing there?
The sound system is absolutely pelting, too. They also get top DJs, always: Seth Troxler, Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers have all played. Please tick the box below if you would like to hear from us. As diverse a club as any in London and simple a great place to dance.The Ministry of Sound should be a mecca for any dance fan; sure, it’s been around a long old time, since 1991, and it isn't as cutting-edge as many of its competitors, but it still deserves a visit.
It delivers what the capital is quite often lacking: marathon club events, often stretching from the afternoon one day and then well into the next. Plus, all admission tickets are included in the tour price.Yesterday I came to XOYO in shoreditch for the Sneak student night and the atmosphere was amazing, the drinks were affordable compared to places I’ve been to the staff were absolutely welcoming and poDoor and security staff efficient and professional.

Upstairs, there’s a smaller space, rebranded as Green Room.
Carly Rae Jepsen is bringing The Dedicated Tour to London this month. Keep an eye on their website for everything they’ve on; the Oval Space runs an admirably forward thinking programme.This warehouse style nightclub has a lot going on over its four levels. The music can veer from uber-cheesy pop to uber-pounding techno, which is what makes it so great. It’s a multi use arena, playing all sorts of things on its first rate sound system.
Get in early and, for the majority of weekend events, you can get a first release ticket for £8. Over two storeys, expect to party to straightforwardly good playlists; XOYO doesn’t pigeonhole itself, booking whoever it likes, so long as they’ll get people to dance (while staying cheese-free).
Each Saturday, it runs the Soul City event, covering the broad spectrum of disco, house and soul, with a string of different DJs each week. It seems strange to think Printworks only opened last year, such is the establishment it has already become.

The music can veer from uber-cheesy pop to uber-pounding techno, which is what makes it so great. There are a few cocktails on tap, too (£6 for a negroni, not bad).

It does get awfully hot in there during summer, but we think that makes it all the better, in many ways. Still, even if none of this had happened, Fabric would be entirely worth heading to. However the ideal candidate must also have a strong background in graphic design and will The DJ line-up so far has been impressive, with the likes of Moscoman and former Phonox resident Haai making appearances. It’s loud, bassy and detailed — exactly as it should be — and equally adept at handling old school hip hop as it is thudding techno. Job done.A massive 6,000 square metres, the Printworks can hold 5,000 and proudly puts on everything from concerts and exhibitions to fashion shows and immersive theatre. Dine, drink and dance.Dalston has a lot of great basement venues — UNDR is superb for darker electronic sounds, while Birthdays excels in raucous live gigs. It opened in 2017 and has quickly become an under-the-radar favourite. The space itself, hidden beneath the railway arches, is small, rivetingly immediate and with a rough edge, but that's what helps to make one of the best, if not the best, small club in London.

Admittedly, it doesn’t sound all too glamorous, but trust us — it’s a marvellous addition to London’s nightlife scene.
