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 o

ne 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. It ran every Saturday until March 2020 when the covid 19 outbreak forced the club to relocate online with our DJs running livestream sets on Twitch. Regular streams still take place when the club is not open. Since July 2021 when the venue re-opened after the relaxation of covid restrictions the club runs monthly with at least two dance floors set up as follows:-

Floor 1: electro, futurepop, dark techno/electro/trance, aggrotech, tbm, synthpop and so on

Floor 2: goth, industrial, post punk, new wave, 80s, darkwave, old school ebm and so on. When Slimelight runs additional dance floors these feature one off themes such as a 80s special, a Wax Trax special, a "Retrospective" special, to name just a few examples. Our current resident DJs are Steve Weeks, Francesca (Blackdeath 1334), Uwe (GassMann), Emmerick Gortz, Calum (Jo The Waiter), and Marco (Jester).

THE LINE UP:

▪️Black Bo****lo

Since emerging out of the pandemic, Black Bo****lo have become one of the most promising burgeoning groups in the UK. Spearheaded by Sienna Bo****lo’s operatic vocals and vivid, fragmented lyricism, their metamorphic brand of alternative rock is enchanted with elements of vaudevillian chamber pop, post-punk, avant-garde gothic rock and progressive rock.

Commoner

Commoner are a 3 piece Doom Crust Metal band that hail from both London and Norwich UK, they began gigging in 2022 and have carved out a name for themselves in the underground Metal/Doom/Crust scene gigging across the country and sharing stages with bands like Slomatics, Old Horn Tooth, Witchsorrow, Plague Rider and many more.

PollyPikPocketz

Their infectious breed of catchy punk edged anthems will have you stomping in the aisles and banging your heads uncontrollably in joyous abandon and their debut mini album ‘ang On A Minute’ is sure p**s your neighbours right off!! Crazy, Colourful Punk Rock Band from London. Catch them now before they become illegal...

= Ravenhymn Rejoice! For heavy medieval music has returned to the founding home of folk metal! With bagpipes, flute, whistles, drums & Latin, German & English vocals, Ravenhymn brings the raucous debauchery of the middle ages to modern times. Compared to bands like Extremo, Saltatio Mortis & Corvus Corax, Ravenhymn brings a heavier, English sound to the German Mittelalter music genre.

Thank you, The Londoner , for naming Slimelight Dark Friday the top night out this weekend! 🖤

“How would you like to attend an authentic goth night? This Friday, London’s shadowy inhabitants are gearing up for ‘Slimelight’ at Islington’s Electrowerkz. According to a recent dispatch from I-D, you’ve got two types of goth in attendance, each with their own designated dancefloor: trad goths, with angular XXL hair and all-black outfits (some wear latex, others wear 80s band merch), and cybergoths, wearing cyberlox, peering through goggles, and brandishing glow sticks. Choose wisely.”

See you in the shadows! 👁️‍🗨️

Our Story

Full club information: Slimelight normally features 2 dance floors - one covering ebm / electro / futurepop / dark techno / aggrotech / tbm and so on, and the other covering goth / wave / old school post punk / industrial. From time to time there are special events with 3 or 4 dance floors. The club is open every Saturday from 23:00 until 07:30 (except when Saturday falls on 24th/25th/26th December) and we also open on New Years Eve. Standard entrance: £5 members, £8 non-members. You do not have to be a member or signed in by a member to attend, but government issued photo ID from any country is required (local council licensing restriction). New Years Eve usually has a different pricing structure and tickets for this are always available in advance. Bands sometimes appear as special acts during the club night for no additional cost. Pre-club gigs at the venue usually include free entry to the aftershow Slimelight club. From time to time, free entry to the club before midnight is offered to members and is announced on the slimelight official page and corresponding event. Membership:- To become a member collect a form from the front desk when you attend the club, fill it in, get 2 members to counter sign it, hand the form back in at the front desk and pay your initial membership fee. Your membership card is then issued and is available for collection either from the front desk the next time you attend or sometimes between 3 am and 6 am the same night. Membership is renewable annually. You can also join the Slimelight Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/2259066814
