Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

[quote=scifi pi;636599]from Beatportal article on Fabric's new club "MATTER" in London's O2 Dome...

.Remember how Fabric pioneered the “body sonic floor” - the “moving” dance floor?

Well, Matter has the next generation of this, called the “body kinetic floor”.

This new technology uses a physical process to transfer energy to those standing on top of it.

80 pistons underneath one’s feet transmit energy through their skeletal system, which dissipates in their chest [Mariah Carey beware], effectively turning your body into an organic speaker.

The sound system in Matter is a step up from Fabric’s - a new-generation Martin Audio system.

It has never been used before.

The venue is also laden with beastly subwoofers surrounding the ankles of those on the dance floor.

All the sound is mapped in 3D via the club’s reciprocal design, where the subs are complemented by floating speakers dolling out mids and highs.

The sound system allegedly allows the DJ to create 3D soundscapes.

The setting for many a wasted weekendFor example, a DJ can put a sound anywhere in the venue.

So in theory, a DJ could take a bassline, and have it wash around the venue in a circular motion, recreating the feeling of being inside a tornado.

Matter’s visuals will probably be the most advanced of any venue in the world, matching its sound system.

Eight cinema-quality projectors suspended on yokes in the main room can project solid bands of colour onto minute targets down to the nearest millimeter, so that there will be no spill whatsoever.

Because of the modular style of the venue, when a ceiling/floor is shut, visuals projected onto the floor above come through the ceiling below. [/quote]

Yeah i will believe all that when i experience it. I Remember how Fabric said they pioneered the “body sonic floor” when they opened. I went there several times and didn't notice anything. I was later told they only turn it on sometimes, manly when nearly everyone had gone home.

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

[quote=ace_dl;636095]Yeah ... Manlike on the matter's calendar as well

Btw do you have a good time in guidlford mate? Oh God I miss that place[/quote]

Yeah Guildford is good mate. Still a bit lacking in late night venues, 5&Lime is the best, the Legion that opened recently (3 floor bar/club) is a bit hit and miss.

Cool place to live though, if a bit pricey. How long you been away?

#1066458Post 52 of 202

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

[quote=ace_dl;636408]Yeah yeah, let's drop by the Weyside (It's not called Jolly Farmer anymore) and then catch an early train to Waterloo[/quote]

If you go to the Weyside you could also check out the Legion which is the new place in town, it's down that way. You probably want to try the 5&Lime too, but that is better later on.

Weyside probably best for earlier beers & food, esp if it's sunny.

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

As soon as I heard about this I said to myself "no matter how much it costs, you're going you muppet". I did not want to come here and read another thread about how incredible a set I missed like I did with the vagabond gig. plus when does digweed ever play a set chock a block with classic tunes...never!!

#1076211Post 71 of 202

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

That's exactly the way I felt about wmc this year. Had to go! I'm sure I'll have that feeling again. Have a fantastic time. (How could you not?) Take lot's of pics please!!

Insta ban..? ;)

I actually dont think I could be more excited about anything ever. I have to do my best not to think about it coz I actually start to feel sick and get the pre-club butterflies. I honestly think the the combo of such a sick club/system and Digweed all night playing classics at Bedrock has all the ingredients of being the best night ever. What more could you ask for? If we actually sort out the meet up that will be quality as well :D

35 days to go..

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

I don't think he will be playing that many classics and the ones he does i imagine will be cheeky re-edits

#1076883Post 80 of 202

Re: Bedrock 10th Birthday

yup i think you are right re-edits will be the order of the day as diggers doesnt often drop an original classic tune
