Next up is an opportunity for us to showcase the amazing amount of great house music you can find in Britain’s charitable outlets, from Acid House to Hip House, Filtered House to Jackin’ House.

Upstairs in the bar will feature some of London’s finest party-starters including the enigmatic Andy Blake, the trend-setting Slutty Fringe, the phenomenal party organisers, Off Modern and our kindered-spirits, One Pound Vinyl. Lovely.

Carrying on our tradition of encouraging people to bring their own charity shop finds to play we will be running a CHARITY SHOP JUKE BOX from 8PM-10PM upstairs. Looking forward to hearing them!

In early 2009, having sat surrounded in their respective abodes by all manner of weird and wonderful pound shop vinyls for several years, DJs John & On and Nasty Mcquaid decided that it was time to (literally) dust off the best of them and start a party where they played only from this rather crackly collection of hot wax. They also invited others to bring along their best charity shop finds to be played and marveled at.

A year of parties at The London Fields has seen much table and bar-top dancing, fisticuffs, Whitney Houston being jammed together with Shalamar, The Pet Shop Boys with Big Band covers of Michael Jackson and other such oddities that somehow just work. Now they are finally branching out with a blog (http://charityshoppe.blogspot.com/) and events outside of the intimate bubble that is Hackney’s Mare St and its surrounds.
