One of the things I’m doing with Pipedown is putting on a monthly club night. Putting on a club night is something I’ve pretty much always wanted to do. Although there’s an abundance of nights in London, there’s alot that are over hyped, alot that are soulless and alot that book people to DJ for reasons other than their craftsmanship behind two turntables (or whatever their tool). I haven’t been to a club night in a long time either that has successfully put on something aswell as the music without it being a gimmick. VJing has so much potential, yet rarely executed well if at all. Those are my reasons for starting the night now anyway, I’m really pleased it’s a monthly night, hopefully we can get a sense of community going…

Anyway on to the design, of course any club night needs flyers. I wanted the first one not to do anything more than announce both us as a club night and a visual style. Club flyers are usually packed, kind of like stylish chicken shop menus, with little concept behind them. This one is simple and a layout that has a lot of flexibility that we can get creative with at future nights.

See them on Flickr or after the jump.

The night is on the Wednesday 27th of January at The Rhythm Factory. We have James Blake, Greena, Om Unit and Elijah & Skilliam playing. More info.
