  • Birthday parties are fun. Unless they're your own, then they can be tricky. But generally as an attendee, annual celebrations are a good thing. People make more effort. An otherwise ordinary night takes on special significance. People drink more. Funny things happen. This weekend, Saturday specifically, is one of those special nights as Bugged Out! celebrates their eleventh birthday. That's a lifetime in clubland. But rather than get nostalgic the Buggers, since 1994, boast a another sweet line-up that epitomises the sounds of right now. In a Suck-My-Deck double-dose the moody but prodigious Frenchman Ivan Smagghe squares up against local innovator and East-end warehouse specialist Damian Lazarus. They are joined by man about town and recent Dalston resident Mylo, while Midnight Mike brings his big rave dex n fx show to complete the main room line-up with Simon Rigg. Action in the lounge is equally upbeat with resident Erol Alkan joined by JoJo De Freq, Phones (aka Paul Epworth) and Ben 'Fat Cauldrons of Talent' Trucker beefs up the requisite Bugged Out! beard offer. Up in AKA Tom Neville pairs up with Heidi and Alice. Ticketweb pre-sales for the night have sold out, so you'll need to be quick by either hitting up Phonica Records or grabbing a ticket on the door. So get down to Bugged Out! and celebrate Saturday, and maybe Sunday in style.
