• Float Away to Four Tet, Floating Points's 6-Hour Set at Plastic People's Closing Party [LISTEN]

    Friday, Jan. 2, sadly saw the last time the general public would come and party beneath the roof of beloved London club Plastic People. The nightclub made the snap decision to shut down after 20 successful and heralded years in business as one of the more highly touted establishments to support new, up-and-coming electronic acts. The last night was DJed by longtime resident Floating Points and London native Four Tet, who has been a staple at the club for many people. Floating Points was kind enough to upload their back-to-back set on SoundCloud where they spin all types of music from classic disco and classic rock to hip-hop and mellow house tracks, via "The Fader." The set does get a little distorted at times, but overall it sounds good and the full six hours is worth the listen. Floating Points attached a heartfelt thank you note to club owners Charlotte Kepel and Ade Fakeile for believing in them and all the good times that were had there. London clubbing took a big hit to start 2015.

    Clubbers in London are being jolted with some sudden, saddening news. Revered Shoreditch venue, Plastic People, has announced after reports started to circulate last night that it would be shuttering its doors this weekend. The news was confirmed by the club's owner, Charlotte Kepel, to Resident Advisor, telling the website, "We will not open again in 2015. Plastic People had great runs both on Oxford Street and Curtain Road." She added: "A fabulous time was had and it felt right to move on."
