Electrowerkz
Electrowerkz, also known as the Islington Metal Works, is a three-floor music venue in Islington, London. In addition to mainstream club nights, it hosts the weekly goth night club Slimelight and other alternative events. Layout. Electrowerkz has three floors. Much of the layout of the ground floor was shaped to accommodate Carsten Höller's pop-up restaurant which used the venue in November 2008–July 2009. The club's dilapidated appearance has been praised for adding to the "gritty warehouse feel" and adding to the club's charm. Slimelight. Slimelight, also known as "Slimes", is a dark scene  night club which covers such genres as goth, industrial, dark techno, dark electro, and darkwave, which has existed at The Electrowerkz since 1987. As well as DJs, Slimelight also regularly has live acts before the club or during it. Artists who have performed at Slimelight include VNV Nation, The Crüxshadows, Combichrist, Clan of Xymox and Nitzer Ebb. To comply with the law when Slimelight began in the 1980s, the club has a membership scheme that requires getting existing members to approve new members. Although this is no longer necessary, the membership scheme still exists and provides members with a cheaper  entrance fee. Most of the ground floor exists in its current state due to a pop up restaurant from Carsten Höller which co-existed with the club for several months. Since the COVID-19 pandemic the club has moved online with multiple livestream DJ events on Twitch. Other events. Under the name Islington Metal Works, Electrowerkz makes itself available as a venue for weddings, product launches and as a film location. Electrowerkz was a filming location for the "Black Mirror" episode "San Junipero". Club reviewers have praised the venue for the variety of club nights it has, saying "Whether you're  planning a rave night to the sickest dubstep or want a goth night out with hardcore beats to bang your head to, Electrowerkz has it."
