Rules to live by.

In confined spaces, drunk people bump into one another. If someone steps on your pristine trainers, don’t carry on as if they’ve just urinated against your leg. If you’re not prepared to end the night with a layer of “rave scum” on your footwear, go home.

• If, in a moment of transcendent musical ecstasy, somebody smiles at you, smile back. Clubbing is communal. Embrace that. If that same person then offers you a swig of their water and/or a sniff of their poppers, don’t look at them as if they’re handing you a fresh, steaming turd.

• Anyone who finishes their drink by launching it backwards over their heads deserves to die.

• Has someone lit up in the middle if the dancefloor? Then suck it up. It’s a nightclub, not a meeting of the WI. But what’s that? Smoking’s banned? Cigarettes kill? True. But not as quickly as self-righteous twonks kill a good night’s atmosphere.

• If you need to validate your evening’s experience not by dancing but by constantly updating your Facebook page or uploading footage to YouTube, then get yourself off the dancefloor.

• Do you or your mates find it funny or unnerving that “it’s full of right weirdos in here”? Then stop laughing and get your coat. The freaks own the night, and you’re just a guest. Straight folk have the whole world to choose from – football, Ikea, Saturday night ITV – and you really don’t have to be here. Classic example? A bloke the Guardian once met in Berghain, a club 80% populated by muscle Marys, who complained, “Music’s all right, but it’s bit fucking gay, innit?” And people say the door policy is too strict.

• Gents, does your “dance routine” look like an American football team celebrating a touchdown, or old footage of a Sham 69 gig? Then you’re doing it wrong. Your behaviour should not aggressively invade anyone’s space.

• The queue to get in was long. The cloakroom queue is longer. You’re desperate for a drink and the bar staff are useless. You’re tense. Don’t push in, a ball of bad body language. Instead, let someone who’s been queuing longer get served first. That good deed will tee up your night. It will put you in an altogether more positive head space.

• If you’re 18, it might seem extraordinary that somebody over 30 would still be out clubbing. But they are. Sometimes for perfectly legitimate reasons. So stop asking me – sorry, them – if they’ve got any drugs you can buy.

• Don’t harass the DJ. This isn’t a 21st birthday. They don’t take requests. There’s a reason they are being paid to play music and you are paying to see them. You don’t like their choice of tunes? Tough. Bad clubbing experiences are as formative as great ones.

• It’s not something that anybody will admit, I know, and it will come as a shock to many, but some people who go to clubs do so to take drugs. Some of them may gibber at you, particularly if they’re coming up. Be nice. We’ve all been there.

• Girls. Young girls. You’re in a good club; stop acting so petrified. You don’t need to trail around holding hands and sneering at anybody who crosses your path. Men are not the enemy. Nor are other women. Do not try and recreate a bitchy American high-school prom in what is a club-space full of perfectly reasonable people. You’re worried that you’ll lose your mates? That’s the point! Now, lighten up.

• There is a way of working your way through a packed crowd: slowly, saying “excuse me”, a gentle hand in the small of someone’s back to indicate you’re coming through. Hurling yourself into the melee like you’re a enraged prop forward – or, worse, a pissed-up indie kid who’s never been out clubbing before – is poor form. See also: carrying four pints above your head and spilling most of them on your fellow clubbers.

• In clubs, do you impose yourself on groups of girls on the dancefloor, joining in other people’s mock “sexy dancing”, getting a bit too close to the more enthusiastic female dancers? Then you’re not a clubber. You’re a sex pest.

• Be nice to flyerers. There is nothing more dispiriting than standing outside a club at 4am being ignored, abused or handing people flyers that are thrown on the ground three feet later. Plus, those people flyering may well be the same DJs who’ll be ignoring your requests and knocking back your pissed mates next Saturday night.

• If you’re shagging – say, for argument’s sake, in a Portaloo at Manchester’s Warehouse Project – then you are probably way past the point of thinking about this. But please do lock the door.

It's totally hot out right now.. It's like 40 fucking degrees and the air feels like soup. I'm just gonna sit here and listen to episode 23 of the Critical Podcast. Watch out for the Organizer remix.. it's.. good. (Sorry I'm not more wordy.. the heat gives me the dumb.) Enjoy.

Let's get dirty.

Optiv & BTK - Dirty Tricks - VRS009LP ((Optiv touches down in Toronto on July 5th at Nocturne for FREE b4 10:30))

Hey. So I've been on a bit of a hiatus. From pretty much everything... I've been a bit of a hermit for the last 60 days. I guess you can call it a bit of a techno-detox. Less internet, less cell phone, that sort of thing. And for that, I apologize dear tumblr followers. So now that I'm back, lets talk about Optiv & BTK.

The Dirty Tricks LP just came out on the mighty Virus Recordings, and it's a pretty epic piece of work. 10 tracks full of dirty dancefloor-smashers, certified screwface-makers. Dubstep kids, check out "Don't Need You". Trust me. You'll swear off dubstep for drum and bass once and for all. Personally, I love that this LP is full of that tough sound that you'd expect from a Virus release.. its the kind of vibe that I've always loved from this duo, all growly, high-energy steppin business. It makes me feel like this:

And, you lucky kids.. Grindhou5e & Sonorous are throwing a jam to celebrate this release July 5. It's FREE b4 10:30!

Local support from NC-17(Charge.Viper.Hardware.Grindhou5e.CAN/USA), Stranjah (Hardware.DSCI4.Architexture.Stride.CAN). As well as myself, DJB, Artiface, DCsion, and Thunn.

Don't miss it! It all goes down at Nocturne/ 550 Queen Street West! Click here for more details on facebook!
