Just so ya know, the “chichi” part of the name comes from the homophobic phrase Chi Chi Man, which is a patois for termite (pest) and is a derogatory term for a homosexual, i.e. a gay person is as low as a termite. Promoter and DJ Mistamaker decided to reclaim the chichi in a positive way by adding that hot heavy bass and bringing the finest jams to Dalston’s most anarchic basement club. Your DJs are Nastee Mcquaid, Qboy, Sugarbear and MC Tyron with a PA by Feral is Kinky.
