Throughout 2007, Slaang and ISSST have reinvented the warehouse party, reviving it from ‘back in the day’ memories.

While others rip out the soul and fun of night-time spaces, turning out the less than aspirational, Slaang and ISSST have raised the bar - twisting their underground parties into a modern incarnation of the acid-house warehouse party of old for a new, non-stop, ever-demanding generation. 

Maintaining the mandatory ‘talent over hype’ policy, for New Year’s Eve 2007 Slaang and ISSST brings together a genuinely exciting clash between the freshest, most raw talent in the worlds of rave and rock.

ISSST vs SLAANG – NEW YEAR’S EVE 2007
SECRET LOCATION, SHOREDITCH LONDON

Forget about all nightclubs.
Forget about all other parties.
Forget about all previous Slaang and ISSST parties.
Forget about last year’s roadblock ISSST NYE warehouse party.

... Forget about them all; they are all about to become redundant.

Last NYE ISSST threw down one of the best secret warehouse parties London has ever experienced. Tiefschwarz, Simian Mobile Disco and Klaxons joining Bobby M and Kevin Griffiths in two dark, cavernous, Shoreditch railway arches for one legendary night of pure, mindless hedonism. Then the lucky few who were able to get into the ISSST NYE Afterparty also witnessed Tiefschwarz playing a marathon secret set in a heaving 80s pub in East London, going deep into New Years Day.

This New Year’s Eve the bar is about to be raised again… operating outside of the seemingly hard-wired, apathetic conformity. Blowing away modern expectations and making any other option mild and mundane. A new era is about to be defined.

This NYE there will be an even bigger bang: NYE 2007 ... ISSST versus Slaang.

NYE 2007 | ISSST vs SLAANG - LINE-UP ANNOUNCED:
PARA ONE LIVE! (Modular/Ed Banger) // SH*TDISCO // JAMIE JONES (Crosstown Rebels) // THE INFADELS (Wall of Sound) // KEVIN GRIFFITHS (ISSST/Tsuba) // BOBBY M (ISSST/Slaang) + more

PARA ONE
“To cap an amazing year we had to bring back the very best we’d seen… Para One. The brightest star from Institube’s French trendustry and the coolest muthaf**ker to have ever played in London. In March this year Para One single-handedly instigated unbridled warehouse carnage.”

SH*TDISCO
“We’ve been trying to get Sh*tdisco for a long time. They’ve been at the top of the Slaang hit list since the beginning of the year, but they’ve been busy performing with friends and peers like Prodigy, Digitalism, and Yusek at clubs and festivals worldwide. They’re angry disco-funk, stomps all over the art-dance-rock opposition. For NYE they’ve set the agenda; It’s all about being out, wasted and not particularly elegant.

JAMIE JONES
“It’s no surprise that Jamie Jones has been hailed as the future of UK techno. Jamie Jones is head and shoulders above most on the electronic circuit. Earlier in the year we ended up at a party where Jamie was playing… it was without doubt one of the best electronic sets we’d heard all year; With a series of future classics on a selection of the world’s most revered electronic labels including Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical and Cocoon, Jamie Jones is the perfect choice to help ISSST celebrate the dawn of 2008.”

THE INFADELS
“We met the Infadels whilst playing at the same night in Leeds. The following night they gatecrashed Slaang Part Two, drank lots and played an impromptu last set. We had a killer line-up on that night, including Kissy Sell Out, Jesse Rose and Padded Cell live, but it was the Infadels that rocked the crowd the hardest. Sweaty, noisy and reckless affair – the qualities that have given the Infadels cult status.

KEVIN GRIFFITHS / BOBBY M
Naturally, no ISSST or Slaang party would be complete without sets from partners in all ISSST and Slaang crime, Kevin Griffiths and Bobby M. King of Tsuba, Kevin Griffiths keeps the electronic balance in check skipping the acid house spectrum covering electro, techno, deep house, minimal, italo whilst the noisier half of Bobby M’s musical split personality will be charging headlong into the ISSST vs Slaang arena wielding an arsenal of ballsy, acid-house rave - mangling trashy layers of disco punk and brutal, futuristic electrock.

Slaang’s anomalous, one-off parties have sparked a freakish collision between the heroes or rave and rock, the avant-garde leaders of indie and electro and an edgy and like-minded, dontgiveaf**k crowd; Capturing the imagination of a rave-hungry generation, leading Slaang to become the bleeding edge, the joie de vivre of today’s scene - with a nod to our acid house past, but both feet firmly in the future.

A stylised dream concocted of pushing boundaries and bending genres - the intense and adventurous revellers mixing reckless thrift-store chic, indecently alternative yet still beautifully glamorous, audaciously misbehaving with near cultural icons in the form of Kissy Sell Out, Para One, Jesse Rose (Get Physical), Mystery Jets, The Future Heads, Friendly Fires… impromtu surprise sets from the Infadels and more… Slaang has taken clubbing back to what it should be. No attitude, no frills, no trouble - just people out for a good time with cutting edge music. A modern acid-house pedigree that simply cannot be manufactured.

Meanwhile, ISSST has forged ahead via a viral assault on the capital, uncovering the champions of future music together with the leaders of the electronic world to its sell out London parties, from last year’s off the rails NYE party with Tiefschwarz, Simian Mobile Disco and Klaxons, to Digitalism, Black Strobe’s memorable warehouse live show, Herve (Speakerjunk) in a car park, Shonky, Franz & Shape, Trevor Jackson.

Slaang and ISSST have become more than pervasive, a downturn in clubland, a national smoking ban, clamp downs by the authorities… all unable to wither the sell-out Slaang and ISSST warehouse parties.

A new era is about to be defined.

NYE 2007 ... ISSST versus Slaang.
