Chibuku @ The Masque

Liverpool’s antedote to the mega-superclub phase of the late 90’s, Chibuku still feels fresh, after a decade’s worth of parties. Tub-thumping tunes, a reglular coitere of local and international DJs, and a room full of happy smiling scousers. What’s not to like? The irony? Chibuku’s so big these days, it regularly hosts its nights in [...]

Coco De Mer

Generally every second weekend of the month sees the Picket (its new home: Coco has hotfooted it from The Magnet on Hardman Street) taken over by the stripped back aesthetics of Coco De Mer – with its bag of tech house, minimal beats and pounding, clean electro. The slightly out-of-town location and the intimate space, [...]

Cream

Now relegated to just a handful of events each year, be sure that when Cream returns to Nation, it’s always worth circling the date with a red pen. Always up for a party, the Cream faithful flock here religiously, drawn to the big name DJs, the warren of rooms within, and the spirit of 95, [...]

Superfly @ The Magnet

From the Trojan Sound System to Cut La Roc, a Superfly bash is something to cherish. And take the rest of the weekend off. Now relocated to the Magnet, it’s reborn, reinvigorated and ready to crank up its sound systems once again: Breakbeat doesn’t get any b-b-better. Very local night, with a hardcore following.

Bad Format

This Trueman Street venue is certainly tucked away – but for those who make the effort, there’s a cool, social club vibe to this collective’s club nights and events. The idea, here, is to build up a community of likeminded folk, and, out of that creative maelstrom, something magical just might happen. Certainly, past events [...]

The Picket

Coco de Mer has just moved here, and the stalwart Liverpool venue regularly hosts ‘dry bar’ gigs and club nights for under 18s. Dance music nights from Circus, Chibuku and Old Skool DJ’s John Kelly, Andy Carroll and Mike Knowler, and nights from T-Funkshun make the Picket an eclectic choice in the city’s independents quarter.

The Hold @ The Shipping Forecast

A new venue on decidedly dodgy Slater Street, The Shipping Forecast is hitting all the right buttons in its cosy basement venue. So far, we’ve seen an inventive and eclectic parade of DJs and indie-electro and folky acts, and, in a city with no Korova (sob) this might be its illegitimate offspring. Gilles Peterson rocked [...]

Leaf

One of Liverpool’s most imaginative and free-thinking venues – tea shop by day, vintage/retro fair space by weekend, multi-use entertainment space by night. Their club night ‘Archive’ has seen Hacienda legends Graeme Park and co lift the roof off, and latter day Mancunian saint Justin Robertson tear the house down. Remarkable it’s still standing, really. [...]

Adult Books: Le Bateau

Always a favourite with students, late-night revellers and those who favour content over style, Le Bateau’s blend of soul/psychadelia/disco/techno and indie attracts fervently label-free clubbers. Adult Books is the latest in a long line of residents, successfully tweaking that winning formula, and throwing everthing from XTC to the New York Dolls, Goldfrapp to The Kinks [...]

Garlands/G-Bar

Liverpool’s longest-running gay/gay friendly club, with a regular roster of nights – playing house, disco, electro and trance to a vibrant, colourful and sociable bunch of revellers. Their popular ‘Bedlam’ night plays progressive techno, while regular Bank Holiday events feature more ‘up-front’ house and anthems. Head across the alley for G-Bar, an intimate three-floor venue [...]
