Layout
Electrowerkz has three floors. Much of the layout of the ground floor is a result of Carsten Höller's pop-up restaurant which used the venue in November 2008–July 2009. The club's dilapidated appearance has been praised for adding to the "gritty warehouse feel" and adding to the club's charm.
Slimelight
Slimelight, also known as "Slimes", is a weekly goth, industrial and darkwave night club, which has existed at Electrowerkz since 1987.
As well as DJs, Slimelight also regularly has live acts before the club or during it. Artists who have performed at Slimelight include VNV Nation, The Crüxshadows, Naked Lunch, Clan of Xymox and Nitzer Ebb.
To comply with the law when Slimelight began in the 1980s, the club has a membership scheme that requires getting existing members to approve new members. Although this is no longer necessary, the membership scheme still exists.
Other events
Under the name Islington Metal Works, Electrowerkz makes itself available as a venue for weddings, product launches and as a film location.
Club reviewers have praised the venue for the variety of club nights it has, saying "Whether you're planning a rave night to the sickest dubstep or want a goth night out with hardcore beats to bang your head to, Electrowerkz has it."
