I met Masha from Flammable Beats yesterday and she told me that she’s organizing a Big Dada night at Gazgallery tonight.
Gazgallery
5 Nizhny Susalny Per.
Metro: Kurskaya
Big Dada Night
Cover 300 Rub
11 PM
There will be the following Live Acts: New Flesh, Kail and DJ A La Fu
All are signed by Ninja Tune’s famous Hip Hop label Big Dada. So, if you are into Hip Hop. You like Roots Manuva (also at Ninja Tune and Big Dada) and the alike, then go there tonight and check it out.
I am sure it will be nice and I may pop in later tonight. Saw “Luomo” from Finnland performing live at Simachevs last night and I am a bit beat up, but we’ll see. Luomo photos and my opnion abot the gig are following.
Great! Not sure it can be done in Moscow. Red Square would be a cool location. Maybe one of the malls. Ha ha, even a club. Just imagine everybody would stop dancing and not moving at Opera or So-Ho rooms for 5 min.
Well, some people would probably get robbed in the meantime. Others would be beaten up by some security or police. Again, not sure that would work in Russia. I’d join, if you dare to set it up, though. Let me know.
The Roof. The Roof. The Roof is on fire, was a rap club classic in the 80s, often copied and reworked. What was a hit once became reality in Moscow. The cities famous club and oligarch (plus expat) hangout, Dyagilev burned down to the walls yesterday. A fire department spokesperson said on TV that the source of the fire is unclear. It may have been welding works (as usual in these cases) or someone lit the club on purpose. He also said that it is strange that the emergency services were notified so late. The fire-engines were on scene within 3 minutes, but the alarm came way to late to secure the building.
Did I mention that the owners and promoters of Dyagilev opened a new club in the past weeks? The inofficial opening night was only a week and a half ago. Yep, probably you think what I think. Crazy Moscow. Well, at least the Dyagilev crowd has a place to move on to…

Well, I heard, suspected Labelfucker Donald Tursman was seen there with some lads just recently and that may have damaged the clubs (otherwise strict) door policy and image so much, that there was no other way than burning it down. Hopefully the same doesn’t happen to Simachevs, where I recently had a few (too many) drinks with Mr.Tursman before I got kicked out. Punk!
