We lost a real one this week. A composer across genres, time and space. Sakamoto has always been a favourite of the team at the bar; as a small tribute, Cami has put together 5 favourite cuts from the maestro.

For Good Friday and Easter Saturday we are gonna be lowering the decks from 9pm and running late with a pair of parties to shake into Spring in style!

All DJ donations on the door will be matched by the bar and donated to Save The Children via the Arsenal Vision Podcast

Tonight we’re celebrating 10 years of The Diggers - a collectors collective headed by the inimitable Mr. Chris Airplays. For our first ever event back in the heady summer of 2012, Chris starred on our open deck sound-system. Since then we’ve been intertwined as star-crossed nerds, confidants and collaborators with The Diggers contributing, consulting and mostly being solid mates to all of us at BTW over the years.

This time a year ago we were sprucing up the space, setting the turntables and winding up for the passage of one year to the next. With all the hope, goodwill and optimism that this night brings. Eager to be in the clinking, chattering company of dear friends, colleagues and neighbours.

You don’t need me to say that business has been hard, that this years celebration will be muted and we’re all missing that fundamental feeling of community.

For Halloween this weekend we’ll be open Thursday through to SUNDAY.

Norm was supposed to play the bar this month but due to obvious reasons we had to reschedule a later date.
As a consolation he's been kind enough to record and send over a vinyl only set full of summer heaters and some air tight mixing.

To help you through homebound entertainment procedures, and to accompany our new bottled Mixed Drink range (plug* DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR *gulp), we’ve added a Mixtape Jukebox to our HIFI page. Bringing something of the BTW experience to you in lockdown and beyond.

This Sunday our crew will be driving the system themselves for the inaugural Be In My System event. The idea is to put together a mixtape using the hi-fi and odds bits found in the cupboard under the stairs without any of the recording being digitised or touching a DAW/computer.

A lot of you ask about the sound-system and the story behind it. Whilst perpetuating myth by keeping mum can be fun, we’ve sought to debunk the riddles from facts with a handy cut out and keep guide…

Witching season is well and truly here. Tomorrow: Borne Fruits are in situ with their spooktacular Boogie Against Brexit which was, akin to Frankensteins’ monster, plastered together and given the kiss of life before Count McDoncula and the PLP decided they were up for a trip to the polls after all so the whole thing’s off (for now) & we can breathe & jus dress up & dance a bit…

In association with Impulse Records, we are delighted to be hosting one of several John Coltrane listening parties for the previously unreleased BLUE WORLD LP this Thursday, a few days after what would have been the great man's 93rd birthday.
