Donuts Review

Mar 28, 2013
-
Posted by Jessica M McHattie

Sometimes the premise for a successful club night seems so obvious you wonder why it hasn’t already been running for years. A musical policy of classic hip hop with 90s pop hits and the occasional leftfield banger from whatever genre the DJ fancies; the friendliness of the crowd; the price – always free – and the late closing policy of the Green Door Store makes for a brilliant combination.

All the faces in the crowd, from the shiniest freshers surging at the front to the dinosaurs in the bar, are happy. There’s a sincerity and lack of pretension: everyone goes to Donuts to have a good time, and that’s what they have, unfailingly. In fact, it’s so popular that they’re starting a new monthly night at Sticky Mike’s on a Saturday, so those of us with early midweek starts can share the fun.

TOP 10
The Mary Jane Girls ‘All Night Long’
Jurassic 5 ‘Concrete Schoolyard’
Mos Def ‘Ms. Fat Booty’
Q-Tip ‘Let’s Ride’
KRS-One ‘Sound Of Da Police’
Lauryn Hill ‘Everything Is Everything’
Mobb Deep ‘The Learning’
Afrika Bambaataa ‘Zulu War Chant (The Funky Remix)’
Notorious B.I.G. ‘Hypnotize (Murder He Wrote Remix)’
Flying Lotus ‘Massage Situation’

FYI
NEXT EVENT: Every Tuesday at Green Door Store
