Darkroom has so far been one of the best club nights ever in Helsinki! Both the previous parties were fully packed from early on with Lil’ Tony playing all night long in the dark. Now the third Darkroom night is approaching. This time we’ll a have a surprise international guest DJ spinning a 7 h set. His name will not be announced in advance, suffice to say that he’s one of our all time favourites. Come and see for yourself! And be early, as the place will probably be packed once again before 11pm!

Here’s a few flyers for upcoming events. Good stuff ahead, once again!

If you’re in town, come check out Tony’s premiere at Fabric’s big room, where he’ll be spinning with Craig Richards, Dixon and Tensnake on 12th Dec.

Here’s a bunch of flyers from our recent events, enjoy!

Here’s a nice selection of midtempo disco and house gems from Running Back label boss Gerd Janson, who’ll also be playing in Redrum on Saturday the 3rd of October. Check it out!
