Since launching Nevermind in October last year Scott Robertson had persevered with his much-loved Kink brand on a weekly basis, pushing a decidedly underground sound, unfortunately with mixed results. There’s no denying there have been some high points along the way – who could forget Luciano’s encore set in early December – however in a fickle scene it has been a hard slog for Kink to find its feet.

Now, after a solid 9 months of hard work the decision has now been made to retire Kink as a weekly club night at Nevermind, and it will be making way for a brand new party titled Locodisco. Kink will not be fading into the night, however, as it’ll return on long weekends and for special events. “At the moment there just isn’t a big enough audience to support a club of Nevermind’s size on a weekly basis with Kink’s underground music policy,” said Robertson.

Full details on Locodisco are still to be announced, so stay tuned to ITM for updates over the coming weeks. If you’re a Kink die hard, though, perhaps make it a priority to get down to Nevermind at some point soon to have one last dance before things wind up!
