… but none of us are looking at the stars, would say the GutterSlut crew, unless you’ve slipped off the stage and the stars you look up on are the strobing disco lights. GutterSlut is one of the instrumental East London parties that brought together the cool club kids and the glamour trannies with the trashbag queens who’d been around the block and back again, in an atmosphere of fun, frivolity and pretty much anything goes!
GutterSlut is all about a laidback but feisty, welcoming crowd that want to shake it all out and have a snog and a grope, quite possibly with someone in the alleged wrong dress for their gender just for the hell of it. Ahead of its fifth birthday, we caught up with the DJs and organizers of the institutional night to find out their favourite all-time memories of the last five years.
As the crew say themselves, ‘what started out as a trashy after-party in some seedy Dalston crack alley has become one of London’s most legendary club nights…’
“Seeing a boy-on-boy threesome make-out session to the back drop of GutterSlut’s semi-porn graphics!”
PER QXXX
Oh where do we start? Have I ever told you about the tranny with wings trying to take off from the strip pole but instead dropped her drink into the DJ mixer? All the electricity shut down for at least ten minutes at Images and the place went pitch black like a massive darkroom. She saved the night though by starting to sing in my megaphone. Respect! I’ll save the story about me falling off the stage at the GutterBall – I heard that the ambulance boys were hot, really hot! At least I got a free ride home…

Kris Chapman (aka Miss Kristillina) dancing on the bar in the disco slut room at East Bloc. Those were her heydays before she hung up her high heels and one moment she was dancing on the bar, the next she came off flying high like a kite and fell straight into the DJ box, onto the mixer and turntables – crash boom bang! – and there she was lying on the disco floor with all the equipment littered around her. A true trashy GutterSlut moment.

MISS CRYSTAL MC
Walking into the backroom, seeing a boy-on-boy threesome make out session to the back drop of GutterSlut’s semi-porn graphics, and then suddenly more and more boys joined in and the sofa almost collapsed, you could hear the cracks!
NIC FISCHER
When we started the party at Images, the strip bar on Hackney Road, we used to attract a very mixed crowd of young cool East London kids, but also quite of few older freaks and eccentric people. One of our regulars was John, a country man in his forties (maybe fifties) that loved to turn up wearing only a leather harness and cock ring. The man was HUGELY talented and would walk around the club with his massive features dangling around. One night he was clearly a bit too excited and we were kindly told by the very straight son of the venue owner we had to tell John to calm down, as the place was getting crowded and a few punters were not so impressed by having some slimy fat manhood rubbing against their trendy gowns. John is still a regular at GutterSlut.
• GutterSlut’s 5th Birthday is at East Bloc (217 City Road, EC1V 1JN), on Saturday 30th March, 11pm-6am.
