The odd tune here and there since the late 90s has occasionally grabbed me but a whole night of it continues to fill me with dread.

I don’t DJ but I’m sure 80 people in the dj booth must be a nightmare…

8 people in the dj booth is a nightmare!
a long time ago there was a building that a couple of friends were trying to secure to turn into a nightclub and the area that was GOING to be the dj booth was awesomely large. had it’s own bathroom. you could have set up the world’s most comprehensive console and still had room for a few couches and a kitchenette. enough space to get on the floor and wrestle, if the mood suited you.
i decided that would equally be the best and worst dj booth ever - super comfortable, but you knew it was basically going to become an awful default VIP section. it might have been big enough to hold 80 people comfortably.

I’ve never seen Dixon nor wanted to, but this is nothing like what I thought he played. Might check out more of his mixes now.

Battersea Power Station. Went for a look round at the weekend. We didn’t explore every inch of it due to the thousands of other curious wanderers but generally felt like we were strolling around an oversized Westfield. Was expecting a lot more especially given the time and expense invested. It’s spectacularly grand and well considered (apart from the terrible buildings surrounding it) but I couldn’t see past the endless displays of luxury goods and the clientele that comes with them. Feels like they succumbed to commercial pressure. A missed opportunity.
At least Coal Drops Yard has a degree of an edge to it with smaller, independent outlets and I know museums are a different beast altogether but Tate Modern is in a different league.

DJs who absolutely bang it during the warm up. Played a gig last night and was on after a guy who is fairly known in the area and I wasn’t even the main set and he absolutely banged it out like it was peak Berghain. No respect for the night at all.

We don’t live in London but try to get down for a few days every year with family. We’ve seen the development at various stages over the last 7 years or so and was looking forward to seeing it finished - although I feared it may turn out like you said. Surely there’s only so much shopping people can do? I also had a look at the price of studio apartment there, 
, crazy but then again everything is!
