What a milestone we’ve reached. 19 party’s over the last two years from the dark days at The Horse & Groom to Bestival, The Box and now The Alibi. There’s been some special nights with some outstanding friends playing top notch records until the rum ran out. But this one is set to be a spectacular addition to our third year of partying.
Mark down Saturday the 11th of February in your planna as we’ve invited down flatmate and holder of Glaswegian decent Mr. Frank Mitchell, one third of ‘This is Our House‘ and that fantastic Fragment mix from 2012 – which you can listen to below if you missed it.

Artist Yayoi Kusama presented a large white domestic environment, painting every wall, chair, table, piano, and household decoration a brilliant white. Then gave an open invitation to the museum’s smallest visitors to dot the space with colour stickers over the course of 2 weeks.
The outcome? A ‘vibrantly mottled explosion of color’.

2011 has been an absolute corker for Fragment. Our second full year included so much from producing the most popular night at Dalston’s Alibi every month to being quoted by Mr Rob Da Bank after DJ’ing at a wet and wonderful Bestival. It’s been a complete joyride and one we hope to continue on into 2012 with a new publication coming out, more partying and much more fun.
Thanks to everyone who’s made it happen, come down and had a good time or follows us on the blog – have a great Chrimbo and a superb new year – see you all at Alibi in January.

Last year we seemed to bypass Christmas and went straight to New Years Eve, so for this year we thought it’d be nice to send off 2011 with an all round Christmas combo in one evening. To celebrate, we’ve got a gang of fine DJ’s down that we’ve wanted at Alibi all year, so fingers are crossed for a en masse partaya.
Coming down to Alibi this month:
Double Denim Records DJs
After releasing some of the best 7″ of 2011 including Stay+, Zulu Winter, Outfit and Jesse Ruins, the recording duo head down to Fragment to spin everyone’s favourite party tuna-rooners.

Slutty Fringe/Juno Plus DJs
Lord of the discoteque and Fragment Alibi virgin, prepare your legs for a proper dance workout.

As always entry is 110% FREE, so get your dancing paraphernalia ready for Saturday the 10th of December
