We ran a few nights of electro/booty/bass there back in March and April - you're right, it's very poncey. One night their downstairs DJ (downstairs is the poncey bit where they play Hed Kandi compilations all night) had a migraine and went home early, which meant that I had to go downstairs and play the last two hours of the night. Problem: I only had booty and electro records! The Play crowd certainly didn't know what to make of Egyptian Lover, Dopplereffekt or Uncle Luke...
They had a fairly dodgy sound system back then too, with limiters cutting in any time a record got even slightly bassy - not sure if they've sorted that out yet (it was the reason we stopped doing nights there, basically), but if they haven't then keep an eye out for that! Anyway, I will try to pop down tonight!
