Been here for one of my favourite club nights in the north -'Waxon'....a quality techo and experimental electro night. Saw (on different evenings) Mylo, Richie Hawtin and 2manydjs and went once for Junior Jack and Kid Creme at their 'Shindig' night. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if youre into that sort of thing. Funktion One sound system, very up for it and friendly/no-nonsence crowd and excellent visuals. 2manydjs was on New Year's Day this year (07) and was voted the 2nd best event in the country for New Year (Mixmag) after Fabric London - so i'll let em have that one since they have the best sound system in the world! Try out Digital's sound system by sticking your head inside the speakers and feeling smug the next day as your ears dont ring one little bit! Buzzin! One word of warning is that it finishes at 4am and unlike some cities, Newcastle isnt renouned for its aftershow clubs (there arent any yet) so just bare this in mind - start early or go back to a party. Mind you, this is at the time of writing, theres bound to be some afterhours place hitting the big time soon.
