“Everything will be alright in the end. If it’s not alright, it’s not the end”.
After 9 years of parties, the first incarnation of Pickle Factory shuts its doors at the end of Summer. It’s the last time we’ll be open all year. We can’t wait to tell you what comes next.
In the meantime, we hope you’ll join us for a last dance in our dark, cosy, ever-so-slightly shabby little club in Bethnal Green over the next couple months.
Our final in-house season is a mix of Pickle family, legends we’ve always wanted to book, new DJs we love deeply, and a few surprises along the way.
We’re proud to present it to you. It’s from the heart.
Cheers to 9 years 🥂 the best is yet to come.
On 22nd September, we host an All Night set from one of the great DJs of our time - Terraforma resident, and Italian vinyl-only spinner of the highest quality, Paquita Gordon.
We’ve been blown away by Paquita’s 3 deck mixing skills, and wide-ranging selections for some time. Equally capable of playing deep hypnotic techno, ecstatic vocal house, ambient, even drum & bass - she's the perfect DJ for a long session in Pickle.
She rocked @thisisgala on our Pickle stage in May - we cannot wait to hear where she will take us on a 6hour solo voyage on 22nd September.
Tickets now live on RA & Dice.
This Friday, three of our favourite new artists debut at Pickle, for a sweltering, sexy midsummer party.
Special talent & new Panorama Bar queen Ogazón headlines, fresh from a revelatory b2b with Ryan Elliott at Butik. She's joined by globetrotting Belgian digger and c12 resident Lola Haro, and fast-rising London based DJ Loa Szala.
Tickets are now on Final Tier - these won't hang around this week. Be quick if you're joining us for a beautiful party on Friday night.

Two weeks ago, @skrillex DJed at The Pickle Factory, for the last in our mini Thursday series with @resident_advisor .
We’ve spent 8 years booking DJs we love deeply, always reassured that in London, there’s 250 people who buy tickets for even the most niche, underground and esoteric dance music.
At the same time, it was such a treat, and a mad experience for all of us who work here, to host probably the most famous (some may say infamous) DJ in the world. From Coachella’s main stage to a cul-de-sac in Bethnal Green.
Here’s some steamy vids taken that night by our venue manager Salma (pictured in slide 2 with the man himself).
Here’s to you Skrilly 🥂 Ultimate respect for coming down & spinning. You’re welcome back at Pickle anytime x
This weekend at Pickle - three very different parties that we care about deeply.
On Friday, special DJs and UK techno maestros @darwin_reef and @simocellmusic take control of our soundsystem from first record to last. Tickets are nearly on Final Release already on RA.
From 12pm-10pm on Saturday, we host lovely charity doo @whomp.party for a midsummer day party, headlined by superb Brazilian DJ @flo_masse . Pickle is such a good spot for a day party, with natural light coming through our ceiling windows. Tickets are on RA. Pop down.
Then on Saturday night, the legendary @c0smicsl0p returns for another party in aid of @mapcharity . Erstwhile Slop residents are joined by bona fide London legend @daddydarkrdc . These always sellout, Saturday will be no exception. Grab a ticket through the promoter’s Insta page.
The duo of O.BEE & Tomas Station have become firm favourites at fabric over the last couple of years...🐰
Last time at the club they played all night in Room 3,
next month on 25th August, we’re taking them just down the road to Bethnal Green where they will play All Night Long at one of our favourite intimate spots, The Pickle Factory.
