About this item

Evil Plans is more than just a club brand—it’s a musical rebellion against the mainstream, brought to life by the unapologetic vision of Ed Tomlinson and Jamie Tolley. These two underground veterans have channelled decades of experience into curating a night that thrives on the underground, with a beautifully orchestrated descent into musical chaos. Acid house chancers and techno revolutionaries, Ed and Jamie have spent their lives immersed in electronic music culture, always championing the alternative over the obvious.

Jamie has been playing clubs across the capitol since the late 80’s. He was a resident DJ at Club UK, one of London's most influential nightclubs and a defining force in the capital's club culture during the 1990s as well as a regular at Fabi Paras legendary Club pinch at the gardening club. He’s not left the dancefloor since!

Ed ran London-based warehouse parties under the Twistedfunk and Wriggle banners, staging events in basements, warehouses and recording studios across the capital. Alongside this, he was a regular fixture behind the decks at many of London's most celebrated clubs, including The Cross, Turnmills, Pacha and Ministry of Sound, helping to shape the city's underground electronic music scene.

Evil Plans has long ditched the predictable in favour of sonic anarchy. It exists to shake up the formulaic party scene, diving deep into the dark, twisted corners of electronic music. With a nod to the subversive spirit of major influence Andrew Weatherall, Tomlinson and Tolley challenge the status quo, blending the lighter shades of techno with shadowy house and leftfield electronic sounds. Evil Plans isn’t for the casual clubber; it’s for those who crave something deeper, something with an edge. This is a movement born out of a love for the underground, where every night feels like a beautifully orchestrated revolution.

One thing is for sure – they like things electronic and underground. No shiny disco balls on the dancefloor, unless they’re hanging from the ceiling with a laser pointed at them.

Set lasers to stun and see you on the dancefloor!
