Dropout 5th Birthday feat Jimmy Posters

It’s been a few months since we bid farewell to 2012 with a cracking set from Tom Real at the Star in November, but sooner or later you need to get back in shape and get rid of the festive inches, and for Dropout it means hitting a landmark five years. Since our cosy beginnings in Stokey via The Horse And Groom, we’ve had a great ride, and welcomed everyone from Craig Torrance, Chris Finke, Bearweasel, Stu Hirst and Louche to Ben Gomori, Dan Cat, Rik Parkinson and Gus Brown over the past half-decade. And to celebrate the landmark we’ve got one of London’s hardest-working music men roped in: Jimmy Posters. When he’s not overseeing operations at Pulse Radio, he’s running much-tipped imprint Saints And Sonnets with man of the moment Huxley, and finding time to squeeze in DJ gigs across the capital, and helming new monthly On Your Niche alongside Ben Start.... Read More

Dropout 5th Birthday feat Jimmy Posters

ABOUT

Dropout was concieved back in early 2008 by three Londoners, Guy Hornsby, Jamie Richards and Stef Lesik. Leeds University friends Stef and Jamie hooked up with long-time capital dweller Guy to vent their frustration on the lack of opportunities in a saturated scene in East London, and what started as a few beers ended with Dropout's debut at the Edinburgh Cellars in Stoke Newington in March 2008. Started on the day that the legendary Turnmills closed, it was an attempt to steer away from the more established elements of London's club scene and put on more intimate parties in venues that put the punters at ease and didn't ask them to hand a note or two over when they came through the door. After a half-dozen successful events, we moved to our previous and much-loved home in Curtain Road, The Horse and Groom. 2011 was time to freshen up, and we moved to our current home, The Star Of Bethnal Green, where we welcomed Bearweasel for our 3rd birthday in June. We're already bedded in and we hope to see in our 4th birthday next spring in one of East London's finest venues. Over the past 36 months, we've had the pleasure of inviting some of our favourite DJs and producers down, from Craig Torrance, Tom Real and Gus Brown, to Leeds' Louche (Brinzley Kazak and Josh Tweek), DJ P45, Landed's Nathan Kyle , Bearweasel, Chris Finke and Polaroid's Joe Morris. We'll continue to plough our furrow of providing the best in house and techno to the capital's congnoscenti, and give you a reason to stick Saturdays in East London in your diary for years to come.
