Information Hurts




The Russell Club is very excited about Hurts.
The duo are from Manchester and are truly authentic and a taste of decency.

Hurts have been featured and mentioned in recent editions of Music Week and the first single Wonderful Life is due for release in January with two awesome remixes courtesy of Arthur Baker and Kurtis Mantronix

The Russell Club has had this on repeat for recent weeks and is looking forward to supporting all the way

Where did all the record shops go?






It is obviously blatantly very apparent that there is a distinct lack of independant record shops in the UK today. That is just the way it is, as we advance in human endeavour and we bathe in the richness and wealth of the digital age we unfortunately loose some of the rare beautiful delights that only some people enjoy and appreciate. But perhaps this near extinction of the humble music peddler makes those few left all that more important and worthwhile.

The Russell Club is a massive fan of Soho's Sounds of The Universe which can be found here in the physical dimension

and here if you prefare to browse from your bedsit in Dalston

But Russell Clubers our favourite Record shop of all time without a shadow of a doubt is the almighty X Records in the northern town on Bolton. Forever a source of great inspiration and always a happy place. Well worth a yearly Christmas pilgramage.

Every music enthusiast worth their salt should have a collection of records, wether they be a few pieces passed down from a relative or a massive mountain of House Music promos from those heady days of the late 90's, vinyl is a treasure and a must.

Next live event! This Friday May 1st







After the resounding success of the 'Resurrection' party the mighy Russell Club returns to the Libertine this Friday May 1st for the first of an exclusive monthly residency taking place the first Friday of every month.

The party starts at 7pm and goes on to 1am and can be located here
