Club Scene

First up tonight, Portsmouth's emerging electronic pop talent Minque will be performing live at Drift, Palmerston Road, alongside Fugitive Orchestra and Temples of Youth.

As Minque’s first headline show, expect a mix of electronic influences blended with her soft vocals and production inspired by the likes of M83. Doors open from 8pm to 3am and tickets cost £3 in advance or £4 on the door, more details at facebook.comThe biggest event of this weekend for Portsmouth’s electronic scene is no doubt The Old Barn presents The Portsmouth #SaveFabric Weekend. After the recent controversial closure of Fabric, one of the UK’s largest independent nightclubs, fundraising campaigns have sprung up in the fight to see it reopened.

Chris Vaux (Discreet) decided to bring the local scene together with DJs on the bill such as WYS Residents – Jacon Husley and Peter Pixzel, Simon Young (Fabric), Zeal Movement, COR, Ransaked Records and Taro Division. The weekend will host drum and bass/bass and breaks DJs tonight from 8pm until 3am (catch me representing The Renegade Project at 8pm!) and house and techno on Saturday from 1pm to 3am.
