We tried to get our 4th guest dj to play September's allnighter but as we were late confirming it was going to happen he was already busy so very pleased to get him to our birthday shindig instead. I heard Neil Taylor play at the 'lets dance some mo' Chester alldayer recently where he played a brilliant set of uptempo dancers, rnb, northern funk, classics current and some I didn't know, perfect for us. He's also playing the xmas twisted grooves party in Dec at the nags head in manchester where hes also played for different strokes in the past so about time we had him in bristol for his debut at gogo, yet another beltin set guaranteed

I first heard our third guest dj play at an allnighter the night they filmed 'that' shredded wheat commercial a few years back and can remember being impressed with not just his tunes but his passion and confidence behind the decks and he was still a teenager. Fast forward a few years and Jordan Wilson through that passion and hard work has now played at some of the biggest events both in the uk and Europe, and has got a playbox better than some twice his age and is promoter of his own allnighter in Wigan where there are ques to get in. Although largely known for oldies Jordan has been playing alternative rooms too of late where I caught him at Worcester recently playing a great set of uptempo soul that was largely new to me so really looking forward to his debut spot at gogo... bring on the future.

Looking foward to the funky dungeon! Underplayed rnb soul and funky edged bangers Will have tickets for the gogo children allnighter for sale if you come down and get it Safe journey Dean

The other four guest djs joining us will all be playing gogo for the first time. Our next dj was the first to confirm after attending our last allnighter back in September. Paul Grant will be coming over from Ireland where he is resident for the pow city soul club. A well respected dj who's already played all over the uk and Europe including the last manchester and hamburg weekenders, so very pleased to get him over to gogo, expect a mix of quality soul whether it be rnb northern or funky edged he's gonna smash it!

The first guest DJ we have at our 11 birthday was the first guest DJ we ever had play for us back on our first birthday a decade ago! A DJ who's played all our previous venues so it seems right that Sean Chapman should get behind the decks at our new home. Seans never been afraid of digging deep into his collection and trying new things whether that be at the biggest northern oldies events or on the mod circuit at nights such as his own constantly sold out event 'out of time' One of the hardest working and we'll respected DJS out there it's taken us a couple of years to get him back and is just so right it should be a decade after he first filled our dancefloor

Reflections.... Top music..check! Open minded friendly people who wanted to dance...check! Fantastic sound system. ..check! Good dancefloor...check! Interesting yet slightly crazy people to chat with in between dancing...check! Friendly staff. ..check! Firstly thanx to all those lovely open minded dancers who supported out first night at the exchange. Although we were quietly confident about this working I think I was strangely more anxious about this gogo gig than any other in nearly 11 years! I needn't have been, our brilliant new resident Chris aka Dr Pickles not only played three great sets (never in doubt) but was there a good half an hour before us setting up the sound and moving tables and chairs, we just had to sort the door and projections and were up and running by 830 with people already arriving. All the guest djs played as we'd hoped and expected top sets mixing up classics underplayed and WTF is this? tunes and through the night a good mix of rnb northern and funk..all on ovo ofcourse.So a big thanx to Simon Cottrell Mark Sargeant Andrew Mace Mason Brian Phillips and Geoff Rudd I was a little bit concerned about the dancefloor as this is a very busy live venue and i knew it wasn't as good as fiddlers but after only a small amount of talc at the beginning it was fine and we didn't have any complaints. I didn't have any concerns about the sound system and it sounded superb all night and the staff and doormen were all friendly and helpful even the parking didn't seem to be a problem so after some great feedback I think we can say we've found a new home. So lastly thanx again to all those from north south east and even as west as Ireland! Your support and company are appreciated and enjoyed so much. We almost didn't bother after losing fiddlers but thanx to you lot I'm so glad we did. We are not sure about the numbers but we sold 144 of the adv 150 tickets but there were maybe a dozen of those who couldn't make it through work or illness (get well soon) the doorman turned away at least 15 non soulies as we had more than enough for a great atmosphere and we'd paid the bills. So hope to see some of you again on Saturday February 2nd for our 11 birthday party
