From Pleasure Boy, a recent visitor to Electric Dreams on our last Friday night:

Just thought I'd email u to let u know what a great night myself & some friends had on the 7th birthday party of E.Dreams. Unfortunately, we're not able to make Mondays, as work always beckons on Tuesdays but I've been to a couple of Fri nighters now and loved it - especially the recent one. The music was a great mix of old and some of the better of the new, the crowd was genuinely eclectic and the atmosphere was fabulous - dressy, yet friendly.

By club regular, Ian Hayward:

As ever, after a night at Gossips, my mind is full of Electric Dreams, all that wonderful music, those beautiful faces, discovered names, snatches of conversations. Your club is extraordinary, so thank you for that!! New Romantic music was always special in the way that it encapsulated so much fantasy, the Goth element is much the same, only darker, of course, doors thrown open onto palaces of pleasure, chambers of the esoteric, a dream for each of us, whatever our eccentricities and tastes might be. I cannot express how much it means to me... it is more than just a good time, it is the chance to really live on a level or in a fashion that daily life tends to shove to one side. Daily life is a foolish business!!!

Electric Dreams at Gossips, Soho


New Wave of New Wave of New Wave of New Wave isn’t goth, gottit? Electric Dreams is one of the best 80s clubs in London, with Adam Ant look-alikes camping it up to Transvision Vamp and Iggy Pop, with a bit of hardcore synth thrown in to keep the punters happy. Founded in 1997, Electric Dreams is one of the most established 80s clubs going, and Gossips – although it doesn’t look like it – has always had a reputation for being cutting edge. It may be old skool, but we don’t care. Electric Dreams is comfortable cool. And sometimes, that’s all you want.

By EOL Audio.com
Technically a night devoted to the electronic 80s, Electric Dreams is a relaxed and friendly club, where it's entirely possible to sit down and chat until waiting for a favourite song to come on. Requests can often get played, and it's actually quite easy to get to know the DJs. The dancefloor is quite small, but as the club is usually only comfortably half-full on Monday, it's not a problem.

Bands I Like That They Play: Depeche Mode, Apoptygma Berzerk, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Pet Shop Boys, The Cure, Front 242, Soft Cell, Duran Duran. Also the only club I know that plays Sigue Sigue Sputnik on anything like a regular basis.
They Also Play: Spandau Ballet, other new romantic bands
Best Bit: The friendly, laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere
Worst Bit: Getting people to come out on Monday night

Electric Dreams UK-style Website review by Suite 101.com

A Website Review: Electric Dreams
www.electricdreamsclub.com

I received an email during the summer and wanted to check out Electric Dreams (ED). I am visiting London soon, I was really interested in what they think of the '80s music, fashion and style.

'80s music is typically connected to UK club scene; appropriately enough, this website is about Monday nights at a nightclub in London called Gossips. ED boasts to spinning the best music from the decade - New Romantic, New Wave and alternative sounds (check out who they play). One can read more about how they started in the Details section.

ED is a no-nonsense, definitive website - no gimmicks, no flashy advertisements. Right off the bat on the main page, there is a snippet of news headlines about the club, then can go directly to the News page. There's also Listings page where dates are placed for fans to see the bands they love(d). It is a bit dated however, but keep on scrolling down for upcoming dates for Gary Numan, The Sisters of Mercy and Duran Duran.

The Downloads page has nifty screensavers from various artists including Adam and the Ants, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and David Bowie.

Electric Dreams also held themed band nights, such as Depeche Mode and The Cure, cover bands and even showed "Star Wars - The Phantom Menace". A real touch is their Staff page so one can get into the minds of the people of Electric Dreams and find out why Gary Numan is so prominent on the site.

And, finally,if you are not too sure how it will be there even after you know all of the above, ED even shows you pictures of rest of the DJs and regular club-goers. How's that for customer service and comfort?
