Our culture correspondent PHILLIP HILL tells all:
Its fair to trace this exciting new scene back to the warehouse parties in Hackney Wick about a year ago. Some disenchanted promoters and bands, fed up with the monoculture propagated by publications like Vice Magazine, and sound systems like Nuke 'Em All and Trailer Trash, started to do guerilla raves in public places, on trains and in supermarkets. Most notably amongst them the famed TescoTech party at Dalston Tescos. The craze for launderette parties is a natural progression of the trend for reclaiming public spaces through the medium of rave music - currently Berlin style minimal beats and dirty bass - and is a reactionary measure, brought about as the new counter-culture sets itself provocatively face to face with Cameron's England. We hear there's a great party coming up at Broadway Market Launderette this friday at 11.
