Hunter - Rump RiderFriday 18 July, 20:00
Now in its 2nd year, HUNTER is now recognised worldwide as London's Ultimate Leather & Fetish Event. Hosted by Leather Daddy Brew Hunter (who also created the infamous Sex, Smoke and Submission night, MASTERY at the famous BACKSTREET), HUNTER effortlessly re-creates the vibe and vigour of the classic leather clubs of the Castro and the Meatpacking district. Held at Electrowerkz – London's premier iconic alternative club venue – it's a rammed evening (in every sense of the word) that takes Fetish guests down, deep and dirty.
In the renowned FOREPLAY BAR, providing hardass, thrusting beats is co-host and London's newest and most hardcore Fetish DJ/Promoter - muscled, tattooed and leathered – DJ STEELE. Heavy-playing Leathermen with their bois and slaves mix effortlessly with the raunch and riot of rubberboys and K9s, with a heady dose of tattooed skins and scallies. Here, the Old Guard truly meets the Vanguard of London's fierce and upcoming Fetish Scene, where chains, ropes and floggers are everywhere you look, and BDSM Daddys and their muscleboy submissives are keen to show off and display their skills at the MASTERS CIRCLE amongst enthusiastic onlookers!
Alongside the popular red-light CRUISING TOILETS, the thick smell of cigar smoke wafts into 'BREW'S BAR' (a crowded retro-style Drinking Den) from the outdoor HUNTER CIGAR YARD – the biggest and best in London, where the hardest Cigar DADDYS and their ashtray boys/admirers congregate and smoke out the night.
The intense and large DARK ZONE is fully equipped with cage
