Namely, I would like to find clubs, if possible someplace near east London, that play alternative dance music like !!! and LCD Soundsystem, and/or French electronica and synth-pop, like Justice, Madeon, etc.

I tried looking online but a large amount of them tend to have club anthems or electronica-wannabes. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Electro-swing/swing house is a genre I'd like to heed more of general, in particular live. There's a good station for it on TuneIn, where plays it live?

The Book Club has a steady Electro swing night. Here's the next one... https://www.facebook.com/events/481883208552553/

Also, as a general tip, small genre-specific clubs will repeatedly flyer gigs for associated bands.

In general you'll find that those genres are relatively specialist these days, as they are sort if what was trendy 5 years ago, and trends come and go, not considering of the excellence or lack thereof.

At the moment, the modern profit-making take on deep house is beyond doubt the new hot thing in clubs. although you will find it from time to time - look in resident advisor listings, do a bit of probing around Facebook groups and events, perhaps go on the erol Alkan forum to ask.

In terms of offered nights, durrr might be in the ball park. I saw erol and xavier from justice b2b there in the summer.

In your honour I just put on some LCD soundsystem at cargo ;-)

Not a bad shout, fantastic club since the refurb. The Nest in dalston too. Think birthdays across the street from there has a night of this ilk too. I'm in performance there on the 6th, if you come I'll play something for you!

absolutely get onto www.residentadvisor.net. i can't actually help on any exact venues that do recurring nights, but you can use that site to find parties you like the look of. at least this way you'll try a load of new venues.

Proud in Camden will organize that sort of jam on the right night.

Keep an eye out for gigs. I've seen parov stelar and caravan palace in London this year, I think they come over at least semi-regularly.

EDIT: also, what's the tunein station you listen to?
