A huge thank you to everyone that has helped Snafu into the Top 100 Clubs in the world.

To all the staff, bands, DJs, VJs, promoters and everyone connected with the club but most of all a special shout out to those who fill our dance floor - merci, gracias, danke, bedankt, dzięki, grazie, díky, thanks.

Here is to next year!

Delighted! One of the nicest and most important guys in house and tech - CLAUDE VONSTROKE - journeys over the pond to join us from San Francisco - THURSDAY 7 JUNE for a summer treat. Boss of both the Dirtybird and Mothership labels, in July 2006 he released his debut album, Beware of the Bird, which received excellent reviews putting him on the world map. In 2009 he dropped a sought after ‘Fabric’ mix and has also appeared on Pete Tong’s Essential Mix Radio show. A second studio album, Bird Brain, cemented his position of importance. With an array of huge singles under his own belt, Claude now uses his platform and say so in the music world to help launch many of today’s biggest artists including JULIO BASHMORE & EATS EVERYTHING. Add to that being an all round nice guy and this is a guaranteed evening of fun - dirtybirdrecords.com/claude-vonstroke

Early bird tickets on sale soon from The Athenaeum, ticketweb, Resident Advisor and One Up.

Ilian Tape 5th Anniversary Tour - Saturday 28th April. Helmed by brothers Dario and Marco Zenker, Ilian Tape has been pushing a brand of rhythmic house and techno since its inception. Over the years it’s hosted the work of a variety of producers, with the likes of Lee Van Dowski, Jichael Mackson and Jonas Kopp each contributing 12-inches alongside the founders themselves. Last year was arguably Ilian Tape’s most successful yet, dropping a series of well-received vinyl releases, including the Zenker Brothers’ own heavy-hitting Berg 10.

The anniversary dates will get underway with a party at Munich’s Harry Klein on March 2nd Showings in Switzerland, Scotland (Club Snafu, Aberdeen) and the Netherlands will then follow over the coming months.

PEACE & JAM…An Extraordinary Event

Clothes swap, record sale, vintage clothes, local jewellery designers, cakes and cocktails!

THIS SATURDAY

1pm-6pm

*
A clothes swap is the ideal way to recycle the old and bring in the new…whilst making your own fashion along the way (especially after the Christmas season is over!) Exchange whatever you find in the bottom of the wardrobe for something you’ve envied for too long. If you don’t have anything spare don’t despair, trade your ticket and get something for free!

The Peace and Jam clothes swap will be accompanied by jewellery, craft and fashion stalls from an array of like minded local artists and designers oozing with amazing talent at astonishing prices.

Homemade cakes, bespoke cocktails and walk through whisky tastings too…

Phóp gives you guest DJ’s and live acts from across the country every Wednesday at Snafu, for little or no pennies. Check this months listings here.

Phóp is pronounced Pop and sounds like Vincent Vega gargling gummy juice while Lou Reid tries to convince Tom Waits he’s still young enough to piss in to the wind.

Lovers! It’s not your love for any one genre we seek, but rather your flailing limbs on the dance floor, your love of dancing, from Motown to Moshi, Moshi, Domino to Decca, Be-Bop, Electro Pop, or Post Rock, Phop - There ought to BE more dancing.

Releasing music on both Actress’ Werk Discs & his own imprint, Magic wire, Lone’s style has consistently expanded and refined itself, culminating in his 2010 Album ‘Emerald Fantasy Tracks’ - a record that can truly be described as complete. There’s not been a Vitamins party where at least one of his songs haven’t been played.

On back up with Sam and Shaun Vitamins is Aberdeen’s own Yoin. A member of the impressive Tuff Wax label, Yoin has caused quite a stir online with his slew of original productions & remixes which take influence from R&B and juke in equal measure. Unsurprisingly, his latest offering has been snapped up by up and coming label Squelch and Clap.

Adv tix are at The Athenaeum now.

Voting (<-click here), for the world’s best club is now open on DJ mag’s website. We reached 71 a couple of years ago and nearly got a nose bleed. If you like what we do and want to keep it going, take a couple seconds and type it in. Thanks!
