The Cause's socially distanced concept Costa Del Tottenham flips from outdoors to indoors as the constantly evolving space transforms yet again offering London a unique new space to carry on the party safely yet again. The much-awaited Theatre space is now open (albeit but not in full party mode that we all hoped), partly funded by The Cause's crowdfunder, forms half of the new indoor area, whilst a DIY heated conservatory-style structure on the terrace feeds off its shutters to expand capacity. With a few rare exceptions, Fridays and Saturday evenings are consistently priced at just £10 per head to cater for these tough times and represent the typical sounds The Cause is known for. DJs from the world of house, techno, disco, and garage showing their more eclectic sides and digging a bit deeper to compliment the more relaxed setting.
The new fully covered, heated, weatherproof, seated and socially distanced space features an amazing terrazzo DJ booth built by co-founder Eugene Wild, placed directly in the middle of the combined space, whilst oil projections shine on the Theatres walls.
Costa Del Tottenham's Northside Beer Hall, the cavernous tunnel like space that The Cause opened in July that takes over their neighbours' yard will also be adapted for the change of weather. The sides will be sealed and heaters installed to create another distinctive space for events all year round.
Eugene Wild, co-founder of The Cause says "Despite everything, we are powering through, crossing our fingers every day that some light will appear at the end of the tunnel. We feel very, very lucky to be one of London's only venues to have the space to do this and as such we aim to keep our doors open 7 days a week wherever possible to provide London with a truly underground, community space."
Gerd Janson takes over next weekend (16th and 17th October) alongside hugely talented London selectors Running Hot and Kiwi, head honcho of the now cult and queer sex-positive party Crossbreed.
