Nearly 20 years ago The Social was born just up the road from their current home on Little Portland Street. Back then, it was a thirteen week run of Sunday evening sessions in the basement of the Albany; glorious chaos, week in week out.
The Heavenly Sunday Social was the Chemical Brothers first London residency (they were the Dust Brothers then); support came from the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Tricky, Tim Burgess, David Holmes, Justin Robertson and many others. There was no genre, just good music. Eighteen months later, the Social took over legendary subterranean venue Turnmills for three years every week before opening its doors on Little Portland Street in 1999. With 2014 marking the fifteenth anniversary of the Social and twenty years since the Sunday Social, they thought it was time to throw another weekly party with the same intentions in the ’90s. A party in a basement with music that makes you smile and dance. So we gloriously welcome back The Heavenly Social! It will take place every Friday night at The Social, starting this Friday!
