The Gallery 11th Birthday

April 18, 2006

It?s time to crack open the champagne at Gallery Towers on Friday 28th April, as we smear Birthday cake all overselves for the 11th time. There simple isn?t another clubnight like The Gallery anywhere across the land and the fact that it?s still doing the business week in week out is enough to make us smile like the lovable rogues we are!

Over the years, The Gallery has seen and done just about everything there is to do. Bought the T-shirt? More like bought a factory to make T-shirts! From the home-grown warriors like Tall Paul, Sister Bliss, Fergie, Gavyn Mytchel and Lottie to the overseas folk like Timo Maas, Sander Kleinenberg, Benny Benassi and Gabriel & Dresden (who all first tasted the greatness of the UK club scene at The Gallery)? the club has always strive to revolve, regroup and rock out. It remains the ONLY club in London where you?ll hear the big-hitters like Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto or Paul Oakenfold in action, whilst then on the flipside to that, The Gallery is also one of the only clubs in London to devote so much of its musical output to the progression of nurturing new talent: 2 x undiscovered warm up djs play every week x 52 times a year.

Despite racking up year 11 on the bedpost, The Gallery has never looked fitter or better positioned to party. 2006 has already been one of the busiest and most exciting years to date, and we?re still only a quarter of the way through it! New backroom residencies from Adrift Records, Curfew Time, Jukebox Rebel and Vaccine have all been welcome additions, with the new 3rd room offering more choice and greater variety to the musical programming. Look out for a new bi-monthly residency from Distinctive Records kicking off in the summer, plus more UK tours than ever before ? including our very own Gallery Tent at the Leeds Love Parade in May.

But back to the night at hand now and a classic Gallery line-up staying faithful to the residents who have given so much over the years. Naturally Tall Paul will be at the top of the ship for this one, locking horns with good pal and former resident Seb Fontaine for what looks set to be an explosive night. Gallery residents John Askew and Gavyn Mytchel provide more main room firepower as they bang out the tech-trance and odd Gallery ?anthem?, with Brighton?s Ciaran McCarthy having the honour of warming up for this lot! Next door in T2, resident of 11 years Steve Lee brings the Balearic beats to London as he presents a truly world class line-up of Ibiza heroes at his much-loved Joy party. First up is Sarah Main, the tribal-loving Queen of Pacha, whilst Steve?s second special guest is Peace Division geezer and DC10 resident Clive Henry. And yet there?s still more. Oh my. Having made such an impact on The Gallery dancefloor last year, the Rock Da World posse have been recruited as guests hosts of T3. Expect cheeky rock re-edits, guitar samples and a mish-mash of sounds and styles, as Coburn (Tim Healey), Daniele Davoli and Chris Lloyd supply the CDR?s. They?ve also got a very special guest hitting the decks in the shape of DJs Are Not Rock Stars feat. Princess Superstar and Alexander Technique. Happy Birthday one and all.
