15/07/16: It would have been the perfect tribute.
However, as far as we know (please don’t tell us we horribly missed out!), no one took the name of the night literally, as it’s been known to happen. The atmosphere was nonetheless electric at the Dalston Superstore for that last regular edition of Shake Yer Dix.
Following humble beginnings at the Moustache Bar, up the road, on a cold November night almost six years ago, and after pit stops at The Star and the Glory, the night settled at DSS, proceeding to make us all gay for synth!
Named after a banging song by Peaches, SYD filled a gaping hole in the scene with its offering of electroclash and nu disco. And of course, all the old favourites were on the playlist for that one last penile judder.
Mchl Kelly and Laurence Del Rey, at the decks, expertly swang that thrill and promptly made our panties go ping one last fabulous time. And so the time has come to tuck our swaying appendage safely in. At least for now…
