[cite]Posted By: ValleyGary[/cite]Are Fabric & Matter owned by the same company?
Sister companies, I believe.
[cite]Posted By: JT[/cite]the sound system is ridiculous.
It's good yeah, but for dnb Valve still shits all over it. I'd literally be Dillinja's slave for life if he let me have that system. I'd sit it in a room and never leave.
I can understand the heavy handed security for any 'Urban Music night'....but when you got 2000 pill heads going just for the music and to throw some shapes, its a bit OTT.
[cite]Posted By: ValleyGary[/cite] On the subject of Matter, i thought it was only temp closed for refurb??..
It's definitely closed for financial reasons, but rumoured that it will open again in the Autumn (although not sure how likely this is). It's no surprise really, they pay huge amounts of money to put on big line ups but as time went by the club was less and less busy. Even Cocoon and Circo Loco weren't selling out towards the end. A combination of it's location, ticket prices and numerous searches put a lot of people off. It was ok for people in our area because they generally got a cab there but if you lived further out or north of the river it was impossible to get to as the Jubilee line is always shut.
It seems that people are going to more affordable underground nights these days, Shoreditch is always busy, and Cable is a good little club as well.

Im thinking about it. Just abit of a nightmare being on a friday....so will have to book a day off work. Eddie Halliwell is supporting this year, so that will be sweet.
Im gonna go for Ministry, as thats where the best Trance night is.
Not really a club but I must say if there is ever a DJ at the 02 Arena, go see them. i went Tiesto in Concert last year and it was one of the best raves ive ever been to. The main floor was used as a standing dance floor but there was also people on seats dancing round the outside, looked sick.

Agreed!
[cite]Posted By: allez les addicks[/cite] Where we reckon the best club in London is now then? Cheap gets bonus points :P
[cite]Posted By: buckshee[/cite]allez les addicks telling me I've probably never been to matter , priceless

I think Ministry's over rated myself, have never seen what the fuss is about on the 3-4 times I've been. Btw they're supposedly in big trouble financially on the club side as well, rumours that's shutting as well. Don't know how reliable a source though, just heard through the grapevine.
[cite]Posted By: Chris_from_Sidcup[/cite]I would say Cable at the moment.
What kind of crowd you get there? Never been, will have to give it a try when back from uni
I had some brilliant nights in Matter, saw the Maccabees, Pendulum (Album Launch), Hadouken! and numerous top top DJ's there. The problem with it is its definitely a novelty night, somewhere I may go every 2 months at the most and it would be very line up dependent. I think what they should have done is cut down the nights open and maybe rented it to something more commercial for the rest of the time to get that sort of crowd in. Therefore concentrating on getting the big nights rammed out. Then maybe run shuttle buses from the local areas at say 3/4am. Could charge £5 per person and go to Greenwich, New Cross, Lewisham, Catford, Bromley, Eltham, Bexleyheath and then maybe send one north of the river.
It'll be missed anyway.

I wondered why they didn't do that, at least to another station, seeing as they run shuttles from exit to North Greenwich as it is. Couldn't have cost much more.
If it's good enough for Amodeus (what a dive that gaff is btw), surely it's good enough for Matter!

I miss Peach @ Camden Palace on a Friday aswell, altho its been replaced by Koko. Still, not the same.
Loves it.

Anyone on here used to go to Freedom at Bagleys? Great days 96ish.
Nope. The Cross, Canvas and The Key, all closed. They are rebuilding that whole area. The Egg is still open just up the road i think.

Was backstage in the Shake It tent last year. Absolutely amazing day.
Ritchie Hawtin blew the roof off...
It'll be missed anyway.
Went to moondance (in 2005?) at SE1 and it was nothing special.
Egg's a great club. The people who go to Cable are normal clubbers, it was actually only £10 to get in, I got mixed up with some club in Shoreditch.
