People who have been to London....

[Anjew]

In terms of electronic music, where is the best place to go to and when?
Also, any major festivals at high park or others?

In need of a vacation soon.

i didnt party righteously when i was their at any of the "super clubs" but i lived in north london(finsbury park) and there was hella wicked pubs to get right blitzed!

I did make it out to mass (brixton) for some good ol dnb, and a suprise show by 808 state!

of course this was five years ago, so i guess it aint much help

[fable]

just check out any of the major sites for you music of choice, and hit up the events listings.

If dnb is your flavour then hit up the arena or doa for listings.

Fabric for sure. You have to go there.

Brixton Academy I think it's called for DnB.

Definitely worth checking out, also the CDR night every 2nd Thursday of the Month @ Plastic People. ( this is a night where musicians can bring in a cd of their own music and play it at the club.) ANd when they play your song, your name will pop up on this huge screen along with the title of your song. That's an awesome concept they got going there!

here's their website

If you're planning on going in the summer, I would totally suggest going to the Notting Hill Fesitval/Carnival

August 27th – August 29th

"There really shouldn't be any need for us to tell you what goes on here! One of the largest street festivals in the world, this is a must-visit for any Londoner, whether it's for the food, the atmosphere, the ear-stunning soundsystems or, indeed, the whole package. "

The largest Carribean festival in the world. Like we're talking 1 million+ people over the 3 days.

Djs, huge jamacian soundsystems on big rig trucks, fancy parade people, drinking on the street, and it doesn't end for 3 days straight.

... soundsystem anyone?...
