Hands in the air at Judges Lodgings: Idioteque Electro Night, 30/11/07

idioteque 2
Sunday, 2nd December 2007
As the bright-eyed, tired-limbed crowd filed out of a completely rammed Judges Lodging and attempted to either find the afterparty or a taxi company offering less than a one-hour wait, it seemed that the first ever Idioteque clubnight was a resounding success.

The blank canvas of the venue was transformed, not by the scant but effective decoration, but by the kind of music that nights out in York have been crying out for since the first person that left Toffs thinking "there must be something more to a night out that doesn't involve getting on a train to go somewhere else". The generous helpings of Justice, Digitalism and Simian Mobile Disco meant that the dancefloor was continuously packed, and that you were never more than a few minutes away from a euphoric breakdown or a soul-enhancing beat.

The best thing about the evening was the atmosphere, where a sense of having discovered something special permeated the crowd - similar to the best houseparties, but with a bar and a proper soundsystem. The only shame here was that the night couldn't go on any later than 2am, even as the music stopped at around 1:57 the screams for more meant another round of Digitalism was offered as an encore.

The idea behind the night is of a different musical style each time (Facebook suggests hip-hop for next term) - lets hope the organisers can turn the next genre into a night as good as this one.
