The Gallery Weekender - This Easter

March 24, 2006

Despite clocking up party number 572 in a few weeks time at The Gallery?s 11th Birthday bash (28th April) and having seen and done just about all there is to do in clubland over this time, London?s enchanting Friday night party goes for the jugular on the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend with its first ever ?Saturday night? event at its EC1 home. Trainspotters take note; never before has Turnmills witnessed the strength of The Gallery on a Saturday… so on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th April get ready for ?The Gallery Weekender? - an epic 2 night event featuring dancefloor heroes past and present.

Friday 14th April is more your traditional Gallery line-up (where we?re at musically at the moment), whilst Saturday 15th April digs a little deeper into the record collection - as we take a step back in time to the DJs who first laid the original foundations and made The Gallery the club it is today.

Gallery regulars Marco V, Above & Beyond and Matt Hardwick provide the main room firepower on Good Friday, offering the finest in tech-trance and driving hands-in-the-air euphoric business! Rising stars Bruno Cernecca and Justin Atkinson show their support with the last and first sets accordingly. Meanwhile in T2, backroom residents Soundworx continue their monthly underground blitz with their biggest line-up to date! America?s rising superstar Steve Porter headlines (launching his new album in the process), joining the brilliant Peace Division ? which means the dark drums of DC10?s Clive Henry ? and the ever so hot Omid 16b. Crikey! T3 sees the Vaccine crew return for their monthly trance fix with special guest Yves Deruyter stepping up to the table. He joins Vaccine residents The Viceroy and Ben Beaton, with support from Ben Gold and Alan Banks, whilst up in the rather spanking VIP Room, Filthybeats.com supply the err, filthy beats.

For the first time ever, The Gallery then puts on its party hat for the second consecutive night (Saturday 15th April) as the Turnmills doors swing open for another mouth-watering session. This time round The Gallery takes a retrospective look back at those heady days gone by featuring 13 of The Gallery most legendary DJs. 13 might be an unlucky number for most, but in this case, 13 is the number of clubland giants who?ll be bringing the sounds of the mid to late 90?s back to The Gallery for one very special night.

Spread across 3 dancefloors, the hub of the action will take place in the main room where Gallery Heroes Tall Paul and Steve Lee (who both still play at The Gallery at least once a month) will be in charge of proceedings. The deadly duo will be ?Rocking Da House? as they welcome back Past Masters Sonique, Jeremy Healey and Alistair Whitehead to tear up the decks, as The Gallery faithful lap up the old skool house and trance. If you hot foot it over to T2, you?ll then discover more Gallery ?faces?, as Jon Pleased Wimmin, Mark Moore, Lisa Loud and Al Mackenzie play the more handbag side of house (gosh ? remember that?!), whilst in T3 its all about the acid house beats of old ? courtesy of former Shoom resident Nicky Holloway, plus John Kelly, Luke Neville and Nancy Noise. This night really is the stuff of legends. One for the history books for sure.
