If you believe in the idea of good things coming to those who wait, then everyone who has been patiently wondering what is happening at 90 Seel Street is about to be rewarded.
Since The Masque took its final breathe, the iconic venue has been dormant until the last few weeks of activity, where a team of workers have transformed the space into a brand new venue: the East Village Arts Club.
Set to take centre stage in Liverpool’s night life, the venue will host club parties, live shows and a range of arts projects, with lots of exciting news to be confirmed shortly.
For Chibuku, the night which itself has been pretty much resting since NYE, its hibernation will soon be over.
Attention is now focusing on the club’s debut show at the Arts Club on Saturday May 4th as part of the bank holiday weekend, one which sees the party back in its spiritual home. This will be a home which will have undergone a complete modernisation and transformation, whilst retaining the intimate character which has helped shaped Chibuku’s standing as one of the UK’s leading underground parties.
Saturday May 4th is typically eclectic. SBTRKT headlines with a DJ set, the reticent and revered spinner letting his music do the talking, with his eponymous debut album one of the music highlights of 2011.
Berlin techno-creators Modeselektor return to Chibuku, the boundary-breaking duo feted for their experimental journeys behind the decks. And Tensnake makes a long overdue return to Liverpool. His Coma Cat smash put him on the map and he has not looked back since; a debut album is due this year, and his live show at Chibuku holds huge promise.
On a local level, old Chibuku head James Rand is back on deck duty, whilst Dash’s new project, Autocycle, is also on show. Brand new night Polka brings its residents to the party; the student-run collective bringing a new edge to the city’s vibrant club culture.
