  • The Light Bar in Shoreditch, London is being threatening with demolition.
  • Tech house vs. developer villany image
  • Some of you may already be familiar with this great venue, home to some of London's top underground parties such as 'Secretsundaze'. In the summertime people can be seen spilling out of the crowded interior into their grassy courtyard sipping fine cocktails and basking in the sun. However, some years ago developers for the land the Light Bar is built on tried to demolish this amazing venue and they are once more threatening their lease with the same intention. Surely this building is worthy of conservation and genuinely represents an important part of Shoreditch's heritage. The venue are asking on their website for people to sign a petition to protect against the threatened demolition. There's also a party you can attend to support the venue. On May Bank Holiday [socialise] are throwing an all day party as an eye opener to what's happening with tech house stalwart Nathan Coles behind the decks. A petition will be passed around for all to sign to show their support on the day. So do yourself a favour and get yourselves down to The Light Bar for some underground house and a good cause!
