Slimelight is the longest running dark scene club in the world, as well as one of the most recognised and respected events. The club was founded by Dette Marsh and Mayuan Mak in 1987, and has been located at its current venue “The Electrowerkz” since October of that year. 

Initially opening as a members only club with just one dance floor playing what was advertised as “the only alternative”, in reality this was a mix of goth, post punk, industrial, new wave, indie, alternative electronic, and crossover 80s music.

Over the years the club has adapted to the ever changing dark scene, and has expanded to include multiple dance floors and performances from live bands.

Art DIrector/Owner & Co-Founder of "La dame Noir" Bar,DANCING & Label.

Half of SLOW PORN with Remain (Meant Rds).

Phred Noir is the co-founder & art director of « @la-dame-noir ». Based in Marseille this record label is well known for running the first venues (Bar & Club) 100% devoted to Dark Disco and Indie Dance from 2009 to FUCKING COVID.

This allowed Phred Noir to play almost everywhere in Europa & Asia and also to share many times the booth with Andrew Weatherall, Laurent Garnier, Red Axes, Pachanga Boys + everybody that counts in this Dark Disco/Indie Dance scene.

This year, Phred Noir has been putting La dame Noir Records back on tracks with releases by daWad, Did Virgo, Aurum & Miss Zagato + starting to produce tracks with daWad, waiting to go back to production with his other project alongside Remain: « Slow Porn ».

Phred Noir also started to promote a weekly residency @ Vice Versa club in Marseille and he is starting to plan a 2024 tour in Mexico & Asia.

Years of sweating in garage bands evidently prepared the Lipsky brothers to break boundaries in commercial club culture with a sound that somehow evokes the essence of psych-rock while never sounding out of place alongside certified technoid bangers.

Their musical breadth as producers speaks to their talent as DJs, with a deep passion for record digging that again conveys very specific sensibilities – a love for the exotic, the yearning for transcendence, as well as the rough rebellious energy of punk. They produce dance music from the margins, full of with narrative, melody, and drama. It’s intense, in a good way.* 

Their affiliations to broad-spectrum labels like Multi Culti, Disco Halal and Correspondant might paint some picture of their range, and their stellar remixes for artists like Nicola Cruz, Adam Port, Autarkic and Polo & Pan may have earned them lots of plays,  but their debut LP ‘Sorry, We Did Something Wrong’ is undoubtedly their most ambitious and elaborate statement to date. Drenched in their influences, rich in collabs with a range of artists like Sepultura’s Igor Cavalera and C.A.R., the record is at once ambitious and, as the title suggests, apologetic. Their capacity for embracing these polarities, a radical boldness tempered by self-consciousness, it may divide the audience, but it shows unmistakable personality.

Simple Symmetry returnes to Multi Culti with an epic, mournful EP called “Problem,” featuring a huge remix by long-time compatriots Red Axes. Another huge edit for CULTED is on deck, as well as a peak-time rework of Drugface, following up on their massive mix of ‘In the Clouds.’

*If you had to prompt an AI to get the picture you’d cite ‘dancefloor banger inspired by The Beatles, remixed by Weatherall with a bit of extra Ravi Shankar in the mix, recorded after hanging out with punk kids on their first E at a rave in 1993 headlined by Aphex Twin, CJ Bolland and the Prodigy’.

ITALO ITALIANS è un progetto che nasce dalla collaborazione di Dj Fab A.k.a. FabMayDay , Giuseppe Trupiano, Marco Mando e Michele Celeschi, tutti già collaboratori delle serate dance-electro del venerdì “Friday I’m in Rock” all’Urban Club di Perugia.


Nell’estate del 2010 sorge la necessità di creare un evento che possa catalizzare al meglio l’idea di divertimento in cui il rapporto con il pubblico è centrato sulla qualità della proposta musicale.

Quindi armati di buona volontà e coadiuvati nel lavoro da un folto gruppo di “addicted”,(Ciavarro, Fegatone, Alessandro Pantano) danno vita alla prima serie di parties sotto il brand “ITALO ITALIANS”.

Niente lustrini e paillettes; niente passerelle e modelle, “just good music for friendly people”. Questa prerogativa emerge chiaramente quando è il momento di mettere a punto la prima programmazione estiva.

Il concept racchiude un chiaro riferimento alla tradizione ItaloDisco dal sapore retrò, strizzando comunque l’occhio alle esperienze Cosmic\Disco più attuali.

La selezione degli ospiti è “scientifica”, si cerca il meglio del passato, del presente e probabilmente del futuro nel panorama peninsulare. In consolle si alternano senza bisogno di presentazioni Daniele Baldelli, Ajello e Fabrizio Mammarella insieme a tanti giovani Djs umbri che di certo non hanno demeritato per quantità e qualità.

Dopo il successo della prima edizione, una fortunata stagione invernale con ospiti come Norman Jay MBE, Andrew Weatheral, Jacques Renault e Flight Facilities. Nasce una serata mensile al Loop Cafè dove si esibiscono vari dj tra cui l'astro nascente australiano Cassian; nel frattempo nasce il blog, seguito dalla nascita della label "italo Italians Records" la cui prima uscita "Disco Verme" è attesa per novembre 2011. Intanto Italo Italians inizia a fare serate anche a Londra....

On the way to nowhere, where the sun never sleeps, where your tears turn into sweat, where your mind forgets your body and your body does not mind, where you feel like being born again but you're just dying while laughing, on this dusty road you've never been but still can recall, stands a place with enough room for your nights.
