15/03/14: After 20 minutes of wandering around Shoreditch in a drunken haze, we finally remembered where we were and made it to East Bloc in one piece (just).
As it was Handsome, we’d all donned our varsity best in the vain hope of finding a hot guy with shoulders broader than his knowledge.
In the main room, Dave Kendrick laid down some seriously sick house beats, before guest DJ Marshall Jefferies had everyone skanking ’til even the most Handsome were slightly dishevelled. Mistamaker warmed up the R&B room before Mark-Ashley had us ‘hand-fanning’ to Beyoncé’s ‘Flawless’ (although we looked far from it).
We also noticed that the side room had had a Handsome makeover itself, covered in black and white posters with pulsing red lights we couldn’t help but feel they were going for an underground New York feel. After hours of popping and winding, we peeled ourself off the speakers and onto Old Street. See you next month, stunners!
