So usual score in the main room, Residents Good TimeKid, Simon Boulind and DGS banging out filthy electro and tech house in the main room with special guest Jason Birkwood from Tool Room Records (Mark Knight and Hoxton Whores' record label). There will also be live percussion and Halloween visuals by Polyphant.
In the Basement Ministry of sound's DJ Bam Bo Tang will be hosting an electro/hip-hop/breaks mash-up with scratch DJs SY and M3.
In addition to this there will also be free UV face painting and a bottle of bubbley for the best costume.

DJ Eddie also known as The GoodTimeKid has been playing dj sets for 7 yrs. He first realised his passion in his teens when he saw a dj scratching with 2 vinyls. It was not until a heartbreaking moment later in his life that he decided to follow his dream. So he sold his car and bought decks. 1 year later he had a residency and started promoting his own night called ‘Eddies Room‘, playing progressive house and also playing closing sets at the local hard trance club. Also hosting his own late night radio show at uni.
It was magazines like Mixmag and loads of England and European acts that caught his heart and he moved to England. The GoodTimeKid has played a number of house parties in every corner of London, building friendships through good quality house music and ‘he’s good guy’ attitude.
Here is a mix mixed by our resident the GoodTimeKid..enjoy
