The Canadian DJ’s Bye Bye Plastic Foundation has announced a significant partnership with London clubs Gallery and B Club which launches on 19th June.
BLOND:ISH’s charity, Bye Bye Plastic, has hooked up with West London’s trailblazing GALLERY and B Club for a bold and pioneering partnership. The Foundation aims to reduce single-use plastic in the music industry with a host of club, events & artists-first programs.
The Canadian artist will play Gallery, the new West London club on Thursday June 19 to launch the collaboration at Gallery and its sister venue B Club. Going forward, both clubs will donate £1 from every glass bottle of water sold, to the foundation.
“Creating a greener future through the music industry and nightlife is really important to us at Gallery and B Club,” says Barth Rougier, founder of West London’s Gallery and B Club. “We’ve already eliminated single-use plastic from our drinks service so partnering with BLOND:ISH and Bye Bye Plastic to work on future initiatives and help spread the word of the foundation’s work is an exciting prospect for us. There’s more projects in conjunction with the foundation which we’re excited to announce soon.”
BLOND:ISH has been leading the charge when it comes to setting a new environmental standard in the dance music world. Bye Bye Plastic is a disruptive foundation working to remove single-use plastics in the music industry by initiating conversation, facilitating solutions and building a growing community around the movement.
“It is genuinely rewarding to gather the support of dedicated players like Gallery & B Club. It shows we can get loving & caring fuel from right within the industry, and create a virtuous impact circle for People, Planet & Party. Now it’s time to widen the circle!”
Camille Guitteau, co-founder of Bye Bye Plastic
The Zero Plastic Club initiative has run in France for the past two years. Twenty four nightclubs made a collective promise to eliminate plastic water bottles from their dancefloors, meaning the program achieved the prevention of over 10 tonnes of plastic from entering the scene annually. Bye Bye Plastic is now working with the NTIA UK to secure funding for a UK initiative.
The foundation also has an ‘Eco-Rider’ initiative which more than 1500 artists have signed up for. This promotes a greener approach to touring and is currently being used by artists including Pete Tong, Idris Elba, Ben Klock and Ida Engberg.
BLOND:ISH was recently announced as the first ever female resident at Pacha Ibiza where she will head up her ABRACADABRA party throughout summer. She will bring those same euphoric, emotionally resonant and high-vibrational sounds to Gallery this June.
Gallery and B Club are both already single use plastic-free. The West London venue; Gallery, opened at the end of March and has already become a vital new space for serious music lovers with its state-of the art sound system, raw underground aesthetic and a 360-degree DJ booth. The 400 capacity venue has a unique edge that cannot be found anywhere in this part of the capital and has so far welcomed the likes of Miguelle & Tons, William Djoko, and Jaden Thompson with Prospa, Seth Troxler, Rossi, Pete Tong, Nic Fanciulli and more planned throughout May.
With this renewed commitment to environmentalism and forward thinking partnership with BLOND:ISH and Bye Bye Plastic, Gallery once again cements its status as London’s most essential new venue.
