There’s a supercool new queer night coming to Dalston tomorrow

Workshop is an edgy new weeknight touching down at East London hive of hedonism The Alibi tomorrow night.

It’s the brainchild of DJ trio, Gin, J.Aria and Ni-Ku. If you’re not familiar with them, you’ve clearly never vogued your face off in the basement of Dalston Superstore.

They’re known for their dreamy ethereal vibes – last time we saw J.Aria he was DJing underwater. Yes, UNDERWATER.

Their new night Workshop is intriguing, introspective and intrancing (we know it’s ‘entrancing’ but whatevs).

We had a chat with Ni-Ku and got him to tell us a bit more about it.

Hey Ni-Ku! Tell us a bit about Workshop.

Workshop is a new night at The Alibi in Dalston being put together by myself, J.Aria (a Glory and Dalston Superstore regular) and Gin ( of Gold Snap and Resis’dance). It’ll be a cunty, queer take over – The Alibi is a great mixed club space, with a great sound system and a small but perfectly formed dancefloor. We’re really excited to be invited to take over the club for the night!

What music vibes can we expect?

We’ll be playing b2b so the mix is going to stay varied throughout the night; Gin plays R n’ b, U.K. Funky and soulful House, I play club pop edits, jersey and ballroom; whilst Jacob spins sweet and sweaty U.S. garage, Latin house and techno.

What do you think of the queer scene in London at the moment?

I think one of the amazing things about London’s queer scene is the diversity it represents, which at the moment has fruited a huge number of parties with really wild music policies, and nurtured under represented scenes in a great way. It’s exciting to see people breaking the mould of what to expect from queer nights, and that’s what Workshop is about-we’re taking over a space which isn’t a regular on the queer circuit and getting DOWN.

Why is it called Workshop?

Because we come to werq hard!

Describe the night in three words.

Bey, Beats and Booty.

Workship is tomorrow night at Alibi from 9pm. Hit attending here.
