On April 28th Smokin Jo & Terry Hart will transport their bastard love child - NUDE to Cable Street Studios in the dark streets of the Victorian east-end for the first of a series of warehouse parties aptly titled Victorian Circus.
As always with it’s risqué and unrivalled production alongside the crème of sexy meets freaky performers, and not forgetting the quality of electro / tech / minimal house music, the question on everyone’s lips is “what the fuck is going to be revealed this coming party”?
As always NUDE requires all to enter with an open mind and prepare to be exposed to new and exciting set of ‘NUDE’ experiences. The April 28th party will be an indulgent world of strange, dark circus performance. Expect dancers in glass boxes stripping and dressing each other, snake and belly dancing to techno music, strange oddities milling amongst the crowd, circus freaks caged for prying eyes to see and Johnny Woo & the nude(ist) colony’s thought provoking shows teasing the crowd, filling the room with an energetic, tension, oozing a dark and sexual side driven along by the pulsating beats of dirty, twisted music supplied by a mixture of both fresh and respected talent from the East-end and further afield.
