AT YOUR SERVICE
Room Service has established itself as one of the scene’s best midweek parties. Presided over by DJ and scene host Jodie Harsh, it runs every Thursday from 10pm-3am at Miabella (formerly Diu), 12-13 Greek Street, Soho, W1 4DJ. Last year, the team hosted DJ sets from Jake Shears, Smokin’ Jo and Ariel, whilst the gorgeous Francois Sagat popped in to do some guest hosting. Resident DJs include Kris Di Angelis, Severino, Steve Pitron and Matt Bogard. They have also teamed up with the nearby Circa bar to bring you the Late Check-In Pass. Go to Circa, buy a drink, and you’ll be given a pass to allow you entry to Room Service for £5 between 1am and 2am. Without it, entry is £5 before 11pm and £10 afterwards. Check:

TAINTED TRADE
Trade is back. The legendary club now just returns for 3-4 big parties each year, which makes them ‘must-go’ events. Following last autumn’s 21st birthday, the next big bash will be taking place just before Valentine’s Day, and is accordingly themed ‘Trade – A Tainted Love Affair’! The whole shebang will take place on Saturday 11 February at Electric Brixton – the venue formerly known as The Fridge. Expect the main dancefloor to be transformed by the Trade production team; special guest behind the decks will be Italy’s DJ Uto Karem. He’ll be joined in the main room by Trade’s resident talent, including Pagano, Nick Tcherniak, Pete Wardman and Rosco. Meanwhile, taking care of the Lite Lounge will be Fat Tony, Guy Williams and Italian stallion Anto. Doors open from 11pm till 7am; event will be followed by an official afterparty at Ultimate – a joint production from Trade and Beyond (6am till super late). Earlybird tickets: £10; advance £15. A joint ticket with Ultimate costs £25. Check:

Bistrotheque is one of Bethnal Green’s hippest hangouts, boasting a high-end restaurant and a ground floor bar/ performance space.
