If you fed kraftwerk, daft punk, rammstein, matmos, a defective microwave oven and a murderer's brain through a faulty matter transporter - grand opera written by an illiterate moron - cheesy europop written by a negligent genius - 50% trash culture aesthete, 25% overachieving sleep researcher, and 25% still available at low low rates. thunderous ebbs and flows...eerie ferro-aquatic emanations, kick drum-driven dream sequences, handbrake turns on the autobahn of sonic bestiality, disconnected environmental loops, vintage-synth-toned melodies...and creaky luggage...

We at Street Tv have some good news, we have become part of the promotion team for a new venue www. thehouseandterrace. com.
This club is going to be legendary, we have an outside terrace that holds 600 people and it is probably the only outside terrace in London with a sound system reminiscent of the outdoor terrace at Space Ibiza.
So we are running guest list's for all future events, Sat 10th we have the Bora Bora UK pre Ibiza party, followed by Fuck The West End on Sat 17th May, and Brandon Blocks Roadblock on the 24th May. So get your guest lists to us :-)
Come find us on facebook at our Street Tv Models and Dancers group as that is the main way we will be promoting all future events.
Check out this video we have made for the House filmed last week at In Bed With Space.
We also have the use of The House and terrace and their Lounge bar in Chiselhurst to run photoshoots from, so if your in need of some portfollio pics then get in touch and our photographer The Real Mcoy is at your service.
