So I've been doing the Top 10 Clubs for The Independent for a few years now, and I suddenly thought I'd post what I've been doing on a week to week basis and give myself and the nights a bit of a plug.
This week is all about Party For Pakistan. Here's the flyer. Represent people, it's for a good cause and that's about as far as it goes. In other news the Habit warehouse party with Henrik Schwarz and the Rustie EP launch are looking tasty!
