Having trouble plotting your nocturnal activities this Halloween? RA are here to assist you.
Far from being the solely American tradition that it once was, Halloween is now embraced by the British as a great excuse to get dressed up and party all night long. With this change in attitudes, the choice of where you're going to be at the witching hour has got much more difficult, with plenty of parties big and small jostling for your business.
Of course, fabric and matter are pulling no punches when it comes to their Saturday night spooktaculars, with the former hosting D'Julz, Robert Hood, Nick Curly and Alex Celler as well as live sets from Lemos, 2020 Soundsystem and Phil Kieran. matter meanwhile will go for more of an electro-house and eclectic vibe with Tiga, Optimo and In Flagranti leading the charge, while Ministry Of Sound mix up the progressive beats of SOS with a five-hour back-to-back disco session courtesy of Norwegians Todd Terje and DJ Strangefruit.
