Sometimes the biggest weekends just creep up on you and take you by surprise…But not on my watch! Consider yourselves pre-warned with this list of some really very awesome parties that are going to be happening in town tomorrow and Friday night. So write out your will, say goodbye to your family and get ready for yet another surprisingly big weekend in Tel Aviv.
Thursday
Legotek at the Deli from 22:00 till late with Clovis from Berlin and resident Ari Frank playing minimal, deep techno and tech house. I do believe it’s going to be free, but if not, it will be very cheap.
***
Dance Here at Anna Loulou bar is bringing back two of my favourite local DJs to play techno, house, nu disco and lots of stuff in between. Poingi & Oron all the way baby. 22:00 – 4:00. Free entry.
***
Red Axes at the Michatronix from 22:00 – 7:00. Good, groovy electronica, a bit on the slow side for me, but it’s always heaving in there. Free entry all night long.

Alternative fashion store Nox (it’s in the guide, of course) is celebrating 7 years of selling corestry, rubber and hot club fashion in Tel Aviv. They’re having a big party at the Comfort 13 club with retro and electroswing music from the Swingotopia DJs, burlesque and circus performances and a general Vegas vibe. Come dressed in your best showgirl, gangster or retro 40s attire. There will be champagne. Starts at 23:00 and costs 50NIS. You can buy your tickets from the Nox boutique. Call 03-5278077 for details.

Jacques Greene is playing the Margoza rave at the Urbanica Loft. It’s top notch house music, baby. Get your tickets in advance at the Teder bar or from here for 60NIS.

Our darkness, the local dark 80s night is going all Israeli themed. That’s right, if you ever wondered what the dark 80s sounded like in Israel, then now’s your chance to catch up with the classics. There were lots of good local bands at the time, so consider this an education. It’s happening at the Bootleg club (King George 48) from 23:00. 40NIS before midnight, 40-50NIS after.

Friday
Madman Party at Levontin 7 from midnight till late. 40NIS till 1:00, then 50NIS. Hip hop, reggae, dancehall all night. Bring ID.
***
Tyota 2 at Abarbanel 5. Halloween special, so if you come dressed up as something really scary, you’ll get a free shot of booze. Music will range from underground hip hop to electro pop, house and dub. There will also be some burlesque shows,so handy if you can’t go on Thursday to the Nox party or want to continue the trend. 30NIS on the door, 22:00 – late, cheap booze.
