A wintry Tuesday isn’t the most promising clubbing calendar slot, but Toothsayer have already given 2010 a kicking on the one of the toughest nights of the year. New Year’s Eve was a fresh memory as the snow battered our faces, and we couldn’t imagine anyone else traversing the slippery seafront in search of fun. But by our 1am arrival the carved concrete block of Volks was crammed with pretty young things bouncing around in groups to crystal clear fidget house.
Recently making the leap from Heist to a big grown up club, Jackson Holmes and George Little have certainly railed the troops and part of the reason that their mix of electro, fidget and even minimal and Balkan beats is so much fun. Alongside fellow DJs Russ ‘The JD Set’ Tannen, Broken Yolk and Manclub, they try to mix things up to keep things interesting but there’s a cohesive liveliness to their selections. Best of all it’s great to see a new midweek dance night firing so hard. This one’s got bite.
