SEEK MUSIK

///THE CONCEPT/// 'SEEK' attempt to find (something), attempt or desire to obtain or achieve (something), SEEK and you shall find! A night dedicated to you the pleasure seeker's looking to immerse yourself in the best underground House//Techno, with no frills - just upfront music! Pioneered to sit within London's underground house scene by the 'creators' & resident DJ's- /// Dordeblanc - (The frenchman) https://www.facebook.com/dordeblanc https://soundcloud.com/dordeblanc /// Russell Caten - (The Englishman) https://www.facebook.com/Russell.Caten.Music https://soundcloud.com/russell-caten-mixes 'SEEK' is a party that's strong focus is all about the music, for the serious music heads, for those 'SEEKING' a good time, for those who purely want to get lost in the music. With careful planning and consideration of the venues around London we've chosen to host our party, we know they will create the right vibe for SEEK. We present to you LIVE performances with some creative thought process behind it. Picture this - imagine being in a dark basement club, or DC-10 listening to some really driving Techno, throwing your hands in the air as the beat drops, dancing side by side with a complete stranger showing the same appreciation for the music as you, or simply being with friends who share the same lust for electronic music, being united as one...ok I think you get the picture now! Our policy is to play underground music that will ignite the dancefloor, and keep you wanting for more. Our new home SHELTER, Dalston is the perfect setting to begin our story and we can't wait to share it with you! Here's to the first chapter in SEEK's existence! 10PM-5AM // // ID ON THE DOOR IS REQUIRED // EMAIL : SEEKUNDERGROUNDMUSIC@GMAIL.COM FOR FREE ENTRY ////THE VENUE//// Situated halfway between Shoreditch and Dalston on Kingsland Road in the venue that was formerly known as The Russian Bar, The Shelter has an easy-to-spot location on the main street and, helpfully, is very close to a bus stop. The exterior is pretty industrial-looking with black painted walls and a monochrome light-up sign that wouldn't look out of place in Berlin. Pass the (slightly scary-looking) security staff on the door and you'll step into the small, dark venue. There is a medium-sized bar, a DJ booth and a dance floor at the back, and an assortment of wooden tables and bench-type seating down one side, with candles on each table adding to the dim - almost seedy - red-toned lighting. A black and white theme runs throughout, with one wall completely covered in simple wallpaper and stripey pillars across the bar. Disco balls and exposed pipe details complete the look. Head down a dingy-looking staircase and you'll hit another intimate room with more seating and a more chilled-out vibe. The toilets are downstairs too – there are locks on the doors, but ladies, be prepared to hover. ///THE ATMOSPHERE/// The Shelter is about as unpretentious as it gets. Expect to find a mixture of east London creatives looking for a party vibe later on in the evening and electro geeks who simply want good tunes. Either way, the decor is second to everything else and this gives the venue a particularly laid-back, relaxed vibe. Staff are friendly but firm and able to deal with a crowd that parties until 5am. The venue will open from Wednesday to Sunday – things really hot up post-1am when other venues in the area start kicking out. ///THE DRINKS//// The line-up at the bar is simple yet sufficient for the crowd. Beers cost £4 for a bottle or pint and the selection includes Becks, Asahi, Peroni, Carlsberg, Guinness and San Miguel. Shots cost £3, while wine is £5 a glass or £20 for a bottle, while Cava costs a little more. If you're after a spirit or mixer, it's a fiver, while visiting before midnight gets you a quid off most drinks - just ask nicely.
