Matter bankrupt?

Re: Matter bankrupt?

What about moving to Cable?

I've not been but Ren to nights there, anyone been??

Yeah i was thinking of this earlier today. I went to Bedrock at Cable earlier in the year it was better than the Easter Bedrock and to be honest is probably the right capacity for Digweed to play. He didn't fill Matter this year. I suppose playing Fabric though he will get top dollar.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

i don't think it'll be moving anywhere cos i don't think matter is closing

at the end of the day, it's worth the commute for the sound system

Re: Matter bankrupt?

^ Didn't think much of the sound system when I went there, heard it has improved since though.

Its not. Maybe they should of laid on a free bus service back to the city centre untill the rail problems had been sorted out.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

I've had great nights in clubs with OK sound systems and poor nights in clubs with great sound systems. The sound system is a factor but not the only one.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

Yeah my cab fare was the same. That’s more money than I spent getting in and on drinks. And also nearly as expensive as one of chunky's chicks

Oh man, I just remembered that I paid 70 quid to get to shepherd's bush!

Certainly the sound system is not the only factor, but combined with a long 8Hour Set in Room 1 then I would definitely choose to go.
The crowd of Heaven on the other hand, we'll never get the chance to see it in any other Venue

Re: Matter bankrupt?

i only went to heaven once for the easter party in 08 and though it was a stella set from digweed, the fact the booth is so high up didn't really appeal to me especially compared to 10.5 @ matter when digweed was in the ground level booth but at 11 he was on what was a raised dance area at 10.5 and it really wasn't as good an atmosphere. i personally felt the sound in matter far superior to heaven

Sasha himself said this on his twitter last night :

"Matter rip. It was an amazing space run by true music lovers trying to push the boundaries. But in a shit part of town"
"I had 2 fantastic gigs there and was looking forward to many more. Sad news."

Re: Matter bankrupt?

Only went once, to Bedrock 11, thought it was ok, but agree it is a joke to get to - my mate drove but we couldnt even find the f***in place! We could see the Dome, but it's not signposted so we drove around for about 30 mins trying to find the car park!

Heaven is a decent club, take it back there!

Matter London to close after only two years?

David Quainton, 18 May 2010

Matter London, the superclub based within the O2 structure, could be closing after only two years following a notice in its accounts.

http://www.eventmagazine.co.uk/news/1004119/Matter-London-close-two-years/

apparently its true

Re: Matter bankrupt?

dammit thats the first place i would have gone if i visited london again. really wanted to check that space out.
i do like super clubs with amazing sound systems. hearing sasha and diggers at crobar in nyc several times were probably the best times i had going out to their gigs. on the flip side, overcrowding always sucks especially in large spaces, but i dont think its as bad as like a pvd gig back in the days when lines would stretch across the block and u literally felt like sardines in a can.
