Kidz Rage !

One thing im really bummed about is not getting to check out London’s newest mega club Matter. Created by the owners of Fabric, its a club that i really really wish i could have gone to before leaving the UK and moving back to Southern California.

I regularly get press and release updates from the lovely Fabric crew and wanted to share this excerpt from their latest press release regarding Ram Records moving to Matter:

It’s been a rather apocalyptic time for London clubland over the course of 2008 – with the closure of Turnmills, Canvas, The Cross, The Key, and the impending closure of The End. And it could be argued that no one scene has been affected, or hit quite as hard, as drum & bass. Beyond concluding the bountiful D&B residencies at The End (Marky & Friends, Shogun Audio, Ram Records, Renegade Hardware, Swerve), countless D&B parties held at Turnmills and mammoth D&B raves at Bagley’s (aka Canvas, back in the day), D&B recently got knocked back even further when Heaven changed its programming and dropped Hospitality off its roster two months ago.

FRIDAY 6 FEBRUARY RAM
matter
10pm-6am
ACROSS ROOMS ONE & TWO:
Andy C (2hr Set) / Goldie / Chase & Status / Hype / Sub Focus / Noisia / Red One / Commix B2B D-Bridge / Shimon (Breaks Set) / Culture Shock / Skream / Caspa / Youngsta / Plastician MC’s: GQ / Dynamite MC / IC3 / Fats / Rod Aslan / Crazy D

For the launch of matter, Ram called upon some of their biggest luminaries and most closely-aligned peers, and even took a chance to embrace a few unexpected stars (with dubstep’s finest: Skream, Caspa, Youngsta, Plastician).

As the dust settles from London clubland’s misfortunes, drum & bass fans need to look no further for a new playground - matter is the ultimate setting for its biggest heavyweights, Ram and Hospital. The residencies mark a meeting of minds: Europe’s most forward thinking new venue and two of D&B’s most forward thinking labels.

Big up to all involved and id love to hear Skream, Caspa, Youngsta & Plastician on that rig in there!!

Large!
