| 1. The Industrial Floor |
|
2. The Dance Floor (normally the top floor) |
| 80s/electro/goth/industrial/ebm floor. It is very foggy! Much seating area, in a very gloomy area of the club. Great sofas there, too. |
|
Techno/dark rave/industrial/noise. This floor is very loud, very heavy and very continuous. Frequently there are live bands on around 12 to 2 in the morning. |
| |
| 3. Basement Floor |
|
Heavy |
| Once or twice a month Slimelight has 3 floors. The last time I was there it played a very hardcore noise gabba kind of set. Music that is impossible to describe! Sometimes it is a traditional goth music floor. |
|
Slimelight is a heavy club. Some people just can't do it.... it's not for everyone. It is very loud, and unless you know people it can be hard to get to know people. |

Vexen in Slimelight
I generally go to Slimelight once or twice a month, and have done for over 3 years. I don't know many people there... but I recognize many recurring faces and know the club and its people well. I'm terrible with names.
I don't do speed, e, poppers or other drugs, but will generally drink some alcohol to start the night off. Normally alcopops. Sugar is good :-)
I will generally dance from about 1am until 8am, taking breaks and drinking water. I dance for exercise, working out, but mainly once the night gets going I like to meditate, amongst all the noise and fog, in dance. I can get very energetic on the dance floor!
Once I'm dancing, I'm antisocial. I'm likely just to continue dancing. Unless a nice girl kisses me :-) If I'm the one who signed you in, or "brought" you, then you can't count on me to be sociable or to look after you. If you hang around until I leave, I will most likely go to Camden Town to buy breakfast/coffee in a cafe near the locks. |
