The Bit Inbetween Christmas & New Year
Villa 2, 2 Marlborough Road, St Albans, AL1 3XQ
We have finally found a new venue in St Albans which is where it all started for us again back in 2020 at the Restaurant that wasn't a restaurant. This time though we won't need to lock the doors. No warm cans of Redstripe or Fosters and certainly no decibel reader.
We are going to be in a lovely new bar where we are moving out the tables and chairs but leaving the upstairs seating in the mezzanie for you to chat n chill with all the action going on downstairs.
There is a covered and heated area for those that want some fresh air.
So the actual party.... We have called it the InBetween(ers). It's the Saturday in between xmas and New Year where no one knows what to do, is sick of the family and playing Charades.
It's New Years Eve eve which is perfect as not many of us with kids can get out or want to as NYE is always agg and a lot more expensive.
As usual it's the Dirty Stereo Allstars Huck Finn, Brooksie, Richie S, Kris Gowlett and Dirty Carl.
Joining those reprobates is Roo from Luvism who puts on great events next door to us in Hemel and another of our extended family the cheeky chappie Pete Morgan, Chris Heath who we all know and love. Phil Leggatt who also puts events on in St Albans who we have pleasure in welcoming back and following up at the dirty rear Oli Smith & Pete Dee from the old Smartie Partie days!
Tickets are limited so get in quick. They are only £15 so you can have a bit more dosh for the amazing cocktails on offer and the upgrade on the Red Stripe.
This is the lineup so far...

DIRTY WEEKENDER - AMSTERDAMAGE
Amsterdam
WELCOME ABOARD DIRTY AIRWAYS!!!
Our first Dirty Weekender and what a great start we have for you. There is no better place for us than Amsterdam.
No Anne Frank, No Tulips, No Clogs! For us it's all about Dirty Beats in Dirty Clubs! Well... not Dirty in the unclean sense. For those that have been to any Dirty Stereo events will know what to expect and it's also Carl's 50th so expect some exciting twists.
The lineup we have in store for you have all played at our parties over the last 3 years and all have a special place in making our parties the success they have been along with you guys of course.
To keep the price low we decided against Carl Cox so for one night only you've got Carla Cox flying in especially from Kavos.
WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE
Friday 7pm to 5am
The Welcome Party at Delux
Get yourself checked in to your hotel, get changed into your party gear and ready for a night at the Delux Club (Part of Escape) in Rembrandtplein in the heart of the city with your favourite Dirty Stereo DJs playing until the early hours.
Saturday Day 2pm to 7pm
Boat Party
We all know you love a boat party so we coudn't have our first weekender without one. We'll be picked up from the port by Central Station and we set off for 5 hours of high sea high jinks with an amazing lineup for you. Who'll be walking the plank? I have a pretty good idea!
Saturday Night 9pm to 5am
Akhnaton
This is a proper Dirty Stereo kinda venue which you'll see when you get there. Amazing sound system, great dance floor, chillout sofas. Fully stocked and well priced bar. What more do you need? Ah yes... DJs. Well... you certainly won't be dissapointed there.
Sunday 12pm to 4am
Kashmir Lounge
It ain't over til it's over!
This is a perfect way to end the weekend. Kashmir Lounge is a gem as it's one of the only venues where you can eat, drink and sample the other side of Amsterdam life. Noooo not the windows but the other thing. You know... the one with the menu to choose stuff from that's not food but you'll want to eat after. Yeah... that's it!.
The plan was to finish at 9pm but as so many people are staying until Monday and a handful until Tuesday we have decided to have a final crackon until the last man is standing.
We'll have a list of chosen DJs from 12pm to 9pm and for those that want to bring a stick then turn up and pop your name down on the list and if you can still see then as the event is called 'IT AIN'T OVER TIL IT'S OVER'. Well... the licence is 4am so it will be over then but you get the idea!
For those that are going home on Sunday the leave your bags in your hotel and join us for more lunacy until you need to leave for your flight, or like a bunch of us, stay until Monday as this will also get messy.
So... the price we hear you say. We've done all the maths, swallowed some of the costs added a bit, taken that away and have decided on a measly £135 which is for 4 parties over 3 days for £135...yes £135.
Hotels and Flights
Hotels
We have enlisted the help of a great friend Saranna Murphy who is a travel consutant and she has come up with 5 great hotels that are all by at least one venue. All you need to do is contact her with your chosen hotel and she will book it for you and send you your confirmation. There is a £25 deposit to be paid straight away and the rest of the balace to be paid in November 2023.
The prices below are based on 2 or 3 people sharing for 2 nights. There are also 4 and more bedroom options just speak to Saranna as she can help with budgets.
The hotels we have chosen are (prices from):
Max Hotel (2 star): 2 sharing £49 per night each
Hotel Continental (1 star) 3 sharing £59 per night each
Westcord City Centre (3 star): 2 sharing £75 per night each
Avenue (3 star): 2 sharing £82.50 per night each - 3 sharing £73 per night each
Inntel Hotels (4 star): 2 sharing £99 per night each
Eden (4 star): 2 sharing £99 per night each - 4 sharing £86 per night each
Ibis (3 star): 2 sharing £101 per night each
You can of course stay wherever you would like, these are just suggestions to keep you all together like the naughty people you are. Saranna can also help save you money if you want to stay elsewhere.
Flights
If you've not booked your flight then Saranna can also help with that and save you a few quid to put towards some of that stuff off the menu I mentioned earlier.
Saranna's email address to book your hotel: click here
So... 2nd to 4th February 2024... Amsterdam... Dirty Stereo... You lot... WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
The boring stuff but you need to take note...
Dress Code
It's Amsterdam so wear what you want. You can get away with anything.
Flights, Hotels & Transfers
Are not included. That's all down to you. We are the fun suppliers of the events only.
Insurance
This is also down to you. Please get your own. Now we are out of the EU it's not as easy as it was if you break a leg trying to jump over a canal. So don't be silly and spend £20 or so and get covered.
Wristbands
All events will require a wristband, if you don't have the correct one on then you won't be able to join in which is a bit rubbish as that's why we are going away. Security will be on the door and won't be on the funny fags so will be vigilant.
Drugs
Talking of funny fags. There are actually rules over there. So rather than copy and pasting from the following website just pop over here and take a read: www.amsterdam.info/drugs/
DIRTY STEREO - PARTY NIGHT IN A WAREHOUSE
Electrowerkz, 7 Torrens Street, London, EC1V 1NQ (Behind Angel Tube)
We were asked and how could we say no to the lovely Claire Deighton. We are taking over from her 40th birthday celebrations at the amazing warehouse space that is Electrowerkz and also the man we all know and love Mr Huck Finn who is also having his 21st plus a few years, birthday party too. We'll let Peter Pan tell you his real age.
There will be no jelly or ice cream on offer but there will be a load of House | Tech | Old Skool and some filthy beats from the Birthday boy himself and the Dirty Stereo All Stars
Huck Finn
Carl Willis
Brooksie
Kris Gowlett
and Huck has invited a VERY SPECIAL PARTY GUEST.
So pop below and grab your ticket to what will be a fantastic night of celebrations and old skool warehouse party vibes.
DIRTY STEREO - BACK TO ROLLING STOCK
Rolling Stock, 48 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8DN
We had such a great time at the last party we thought we'd go BACK TO ROLLING STOCK!
As always, we listen to you lot and you loved it there and with the summer weather ever so nearly here and with the great outdoor area then it just fits perfectly.
Plus the venue fits us perfectly for size, it's one room which is the way we like it and it's gritty enough for us with that old skool vibe.
So... on to the DJs. We have secured the man who is infamous for creating the 'Balearic Beat' sound back in 1987 Mr Trevor Fung.
Trevors influence over fellow friends inspired the change to the face of the London Club scene and hasn't stopped since with being busy in the studio, radio, label and touring throughout the world. And next up for him is a party for Dirty Stereo @ Rolling Stock
Along with our usual band of Dirty Stereo faithful of
Huck Finn
Brooksie
Kris Gowlett
Richie S
Carl Willis
We have from Stash Parties and head honcho of Stash Records the man himself Matt Dawson who if you've seen him play loves a bit of filth so he'll fit in nicely.
Pete Neal who is out just as much as Carl and has recently dusted off his record bag to get back out there again and wow us with his huge selection of tuneage.
Pete Morgan who has played for us before and is making great waves and is one of the nicest blokes you'll meet.
Claire Flanigan who resides in Basingstoke and plays a lot of parties down there. She also joined us at the infamous after party at Butlins along with some bloke called Todd Terry and Dave from Tenacious which eventually got shut down at 3pm the following day but was then moved to another room the same night. That's how we roll at Dirty Stereo.
Nat C the little pocket rocket can be found bangin out the tech on House Music Radio. It's also Nat's birthday so she's well up for this.
Last but not least we have dear ol Sav. You may recognise Sav dressed up as Agnes Brown from Mrs Browns Boys also at Butlins. Sav has been partying with us since the relaunch of Dirty Stereo and also runs his own nights in Peterborough.
So there we have it. There's your motley crew of reprobates to keep us entertained at Rolling Stock.
DIRTY STEREO - IT'S A DIRTY THING
Rolling Stock, 48 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8DN
The streets are certainly paved with gold... The one and only Graham Gold who will be joining us for our 2nd trip to London.
Graham needs no introduction. He is the main man behind the Peach brand and now resides in Thailand playing at a host of beach parties. He'll be playing the odd Trance classic but mainly his new preferred tech house sound.
We have changed venue to ROLLING STOCK in Shoreditch which is fantastic with a great outside area if you need to chill. But obvioulsy all the action will be going off inside.
Along with our usual band of reprobates we are unlseashing some firm favourites and friends from our much enjoyed party scene.
Adam House & Classics - guess what his brand is!
Steve Wayback When - who most recently had a show on Centreforce
Marion Key - who is popping up all over the place and will be throwing down her finest house enfused breaks.
Ryan Wilmott - one of the new breed on Centreforce
Scott Ralph - promoter at the infamous Our House parties and resident at House is a Feeling
Wolf Auris - this guy as an absolute lunatic and has a full bag of bangers for you.
Dirty Stereo wouldn't be the same without Mr Huck Finn, Brooksie and Kris Gowlett and the tea boy Carl Willis
Don't forget your ID as you won't get in without it and the bar is card only.

RISE UP // ST ALBANS // 31 JULY 2021 // 12PM-11PM
SPRINGFIELD FARM, OLD PARKBURY LANE, ST ALBANS AL2 2DY
AN OUTDOOR COMING TOGETHER OF PEOPLE, MUSIC, DANCE AND SUNNY VIBES.
We have a new date, so let’s get a party on. 5 promoters, 3 stages & 1 quality line up.
DIRTY STEREO, HOUSEWORK, SLIP BACK IN TIME, LUVISM & BACK TO THE OLD SKOOL have come together for 1 very special day of outdoor hands in the air partying.
So many promoters have been hit by delayed or cancelled events in the last 18 months. So, we spoke to our muckers and have joined up with Housework and Slip Back in Time.
“Lets collaborate and throw the mother of all parties together. One that takes US ALL back to what it is all about – partying in a field, without ego, surrounded by everyone who loves what we ALL do. We can come together and together we all DANCE.
This is a simple party - it has to be, to manage the risk all promoters are battling with right now. The less risk the less chance of cancellation. So… It’s just 1000 of the best party people (YOU) / a beautifully simple venue / 3 stages / 5 promoters who have lost their dates to BoJo – AND ONE HELL OF A DAYTIME RAVE.
SO WHO’S PLAYING, WHERE IS IT AT AND WHEN IS IT?
Set in the urban wilderness of St Albans. The RISE UP party is big enough to inspire, but small enough to stay intimate – From midday to 11pm three stages play host to the likes of SLIPMATT, K-KLASS, SHADES OF RHYTHM, ALTERN8, MATT MAY, ANDY GALEA, TENACIOUS + over 20 more quality DJs…all gracing the decks as we FINALLY get to deliver a restriction free outdoor party.
There will be a limited VIP offering you priority entry, your own bar and access to your own toilets PLUS a private area – plenty of time & space for you to kick back and relax and chew the fat with friends & some of our headline DJs whilst soaking up the beats.
It’s time to experience the great outdoors together - from daytime playtime to raving & misbehaving under the summer stars. On 31st July we get busy with some summertime vibes.
It is going to be 11 hours that get burnt into memory – The day we could dance again. TOGETHER.
THE LINE UP
Housework & Slip Back in Time Stage
Slipmatt | K-Klass | Matt May | Paul Reid | Tenacious | Gary Simpson | Louis Millar | Wayne A | Scott Judge | plus Mr Stixx Jammin' all day long
