Secret locations
Monday evenings

This is where I went after the Space and DC 10 opening parties in 2004, which meant that like just about everyone else who found their way to the Casa Rosa, or whatever it was called, in Talamanca that night, I was a wee bit tired... Still, I gave it a go, and had the decency to go home before I performed one of my usual tricks of falling asleep in the corner.

For the rest of the year, NDSM (do you seriously think I'm going to type that name out every time?) grew and grew in stature, so that by the time of the closing parties in October, they had to keep the location even more secret than usual, so as to avoid a serious danger of over-crowding!

It did so well in 2004, in fact, that for 2005 it became an official part of the line-up of We Love... Space on Sundays, which means that NDSM went even further underground, adopting a secret name (Socio, so it's no secret anymore) to go with its secret location.

In 2006, the plan is to make it even more secret, and hypnotise everyone who finds the party, so they forget everything about the night! An easier option, and a damned sight cheaper than either chasing round Ibiza in taxis on Mondays, or paying Space prices on Sundays, is to go to NDSM's bi-monthly parties at Ministry of Sound in London, possibly the best party in London this year!

In case you haven't been keeping up with the club news, NDSM called it a day at the end of 2005 with a spectacular New Year's Eve party at London's Ministry of Sound. It was the best NYE party I've ever been to, and if you weren't there... tough. It's not coming back.
