With Dirty Disclosure you are guaranteed a sell out crowd every single month. The past 9 months has seen this event go from strength to strength playing host to themes such as “Go Glow”, “Hats” and “Black and White” amongst many others. With a number of amazing resident DJs and countless gusts including Ben Macklin, Tristan Ingram, Jesse James, Ed Kane and many more, this night always delivers the goods in the dirty style that only Dirty Disclosure can deliver.
The London Club City team manage to catch a few minutes with Blake, the guy behind the Dirty Disclosure events, to find out what it’s all about and their exciting party at Pacha this weekend.
The following is a transcript of selected questions within the interview. To hear the full interview, please download the audio file using the “Quick links” box at the top right of this page.
Today we’re joined by Blake from 2000BC promotions who run an event called Dirty Disclosure down at Loop Bar in Croydon. How did Dirty Disclosure come about?
Basically I was doing a lot of social events with my day job and I was taking a lot of people down to Loop Bar and the manager offered me an opportunity to run a promotion there. I took it on and that’s how it started out. It could’ve been a risk, but it worked out and since then we’ve just grown.
If you were to describe the music style of Dirty Disclosure, what would you say?
It’s basically advertised as dirty house. It’s electro with a bit of funky house at the start of the night. The Croydon crowd is not a London crowd. They’re not into the really hard sound. We keep it slightly commercial at the beginning of the night and progress from there.
Your next party is a massive one. You’ve joined forces with Connected and are taking over Pacha this weekend for the Bank Holiday Sunday event. How did that come about and what’s it all about?
After my first night back in December I was approached by Jesse about running a room for him at nights he was doing at Ministry. At the time I turned it down as I didn’t feel I was big enough but told him that I would love to work with him in the future. In about May I turned up to one of his events and he asked if I was interested in doing the Bank Holiday Sunday event, and I just couldn’t turn it down. Tickets are flying, there’s a real buzz on facebook and I can’t wait for it now.
Dirty Disclosure has been running now for 9 months. Where’s it going from here?
I’ll be back at Loop in October for my return party. There’ll also be a huge Halloween special in November and I’m doing NYE there as well. I’ve got some wicked line ups sorted, so watch this space - there’s big things going on in Croydon.
