Make saturday a wholesome one and pay visit to the Whitechapel Gallery where German photographer Thomas Struth is exhibiting works from 1978 - 2010. Images of architecture and spaces in public and nature the work offers a real sense of place by revealing cultural and historical undercurrents.

Sunday we have been invited to play some records on the main stage at the Book Stock street party which is going to be a whole lot of fun if the royal wedding street party was anything to go by!

Cohorts include..

The Correspondents // Brassroots // Sink the Pink // Little Boots (DJ set) // Tim Lawton // Disco Shed 'Shedphone Disco' // Bring & Share // Musical Bingo // GINGER JOE // Pure Evil Gallery // The Griffin // ICN Gallery // The Meat Wagon // Shoreditch Radio DJs // Electro Swing DJs // Big In Japan DJs // Swing Patrol & lots more still to be announced…

As well as a plethora of top guests to entertain you throughout this boozy afternoon we caught wind that the Meat Waggon are in residence - this we cant recommend enough having gorged on a weekly basis down at their recent New Cross residency.
