Not what I expected...
December 20, 2008
I'm not sure what I expected. Bigger, maybe. A different crowd, absolutely.
I'd heard a lot of good things about Plastic People but I kind of expected it to attract a very specific type of person, what with it being in the heart of Shoreditch and all.
Well, the door is very inconspicuous, so I guess it really only attracts people that are going there as a destination, rather than people wandering by.
The music was GOOD. Electro and house, with heavy bass lines (you may wish to check the listings, as this varies from night to night).
The people were much less 'Shoreditch' than I expected; happy and up for it.
It's quite small but it wasn't too busy. The dancefloor is dark enough so that you can find a corner and do your thing, what ever that may be...
The sound system is very powerful indeed.
All in all, I really liked it. Sadly, it wasn't to my friends' tastes, so we left early and I didn't get a chance to dance as much as I would have liked.
I plan to have a messier night there very soon.
