This Bank Holiday Sunday will see the infamous Union Street Car Park in SE1 host Eastern Electrics who have managed to rustle up a line up we just cant ignore!
Room 1 sees Mulletover and Micheal Mayer’s Kompact crew from Cologne competing for adulation from the masses. But the undeniable quality being hammered out of room 2 by Dirtybird records is where you’ll find us, deep deep in the zone. Dirtybird, who celebrated 5 years in the game earlier in the year are some serious dudes. Claude Vonstroke has been added to the line-up to headline alongside Justin Martin who’s deep tech-house sets have become synonymous with my morning tube journeys. 
The rest of the Dirtybird gang J Philip, Sketchy and co will be helping things tick along nicely. Room 3 will be churning out soulful, funky, dubby numbers from home grown label Hotflush via Joy Orbinson, Scuba and family just to get you in the mood for carnival Monday!
This bank holiday weekend has some serious contenders but Eastern Electrics is our pick of the bunch. Tickets are still available, we picked ours up from PHONICA RECORDS in SOHO.
Check Justin Martins tasty Fact 160 mix to hear what to expect.

ENGLISH ////////////////////////////////// The Social Club isn’t just a name – we take the responsibility of our presentation of culture to society very seriously. Our mission statement reads: “One calling for the Social Club is the inclusion of styles, genres, and thus the public.” This isn’t some wishful thinking either – the weight of history is all around the Social Club.
