We have yet again paid tribute to the great AKA bar London, This time round Code-ex were playing host to the London Crowds yet again accumulating their 365 fifth day as monthly hosts.

We entered the place with great expectation as the door staff kindly greeted us through the glass entrance, stunned as we entered we were hit by the cosmic motion of all the lights from within. Tastefully lit, however quite bright which worried us for 10 minutes or so until things slowly
sped up and the night drew in.

We relaxed and acclimatized ourselves to the mood and surroundings, which wasn't hard since
we had a few looseners (Malibu & Pineapple) before hand! We sat back at the bar sipping
on our chilled beer and toasted to the rest of the night, we knew we were in for a treat
as Freddie Barbie took the helm.

I was immediately drawn by her presence on and off the Decks and most pleasantly surprised by the mixture of the music she was playing. Scantily cladded she got on with her duty and played us into the night with great esteem and confidence. Stylish electronic dance tunes being mixed with harmonic and tantalising grooves giving us the impression that, "this one knows what people want!"

As styles go, usually few and far between these days! Her sounds were identifiable as a little eccentric however refreshing. She would feel the urge to interrupt a bangin beat and throw in rock tune for example, which went down well and added some diversity.

Next up: Nico De Ceglia,
what are we saying? We're saying Italian yes, stylish yes but Euro Trash NO WAY!! As you'd expect things were getting a little heated by now and we ready for the evening to explode with the DJ NICO's beats which tore up the floor and saw people flood threw the doors. This gave the
perfect opportunity for the glamorous party goers out there to make an entrance.
This is exactly what we have come to expect from a venue such as the AKA.

Having been on the floor from minute one I decided it was time to get the peoples reaction to the progress of the night. Reactions such as "It's all about Wednesday nights here at Code-Ex" 9-fivers saying
"Work can wait tomorrow, we come here every week and wouldn't miss out".
Truly a great vibe which was a pleasure to be a part of.

On Steps: Tom Stephan.
Imagine it you've been tantalized and teased by Freddie Barbie, DJ NICO steps up and projects and
aura of sophistication and tunes sending us silly. Now prepare to be stunned and sent home
with a buzz which for a Wednesday night is simply unfair.

Tom Stephan comes along with Electronic bang bang, that's all I can say, superb a great set.

Claudio Basile set was well met by the crowds, the change in music progressed unnoticed which in my opinion is a welcomed one. This team of DJ’s seem to flow and isn’t inhibited by their own signatures. “A great bunch not only to hear but also to watch.”

I had a great time and felt that more venues across London should learn from this type of event,
however simplicity at it’s finest. The relaxed Mediterranean way of life really shines through these guys
and is met by us Londoners with open arms.

What a great time we can't wait for the next invitation, look forward to seeing you again.
