bankrupt rumour doing the rounds?

anyone know if there's any substance to this

Re: Matter bankrupt?

I had some good nights there and some not so good. The place was fucking nightmare to get to and the cab fare home was a joke. Hopfully Bedrock will move back to Heaven.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

Have seen the rumours on other forums but haven't seen anything from official news sources... I've never been there so can't say I'll miss it. Agree with chunky, Bedrock needs to move back to Heaven

Re: Matter bankrupt?

If Matter does go under Bedrock needs to move to fabric ;)

Re: Matter bankrupt?

bedrock 10.5 was an awesome night, bedrock 11 was not so good

and yes, it's a nightmare to get to

Re: Matter bankrupt?

Yeah some good nights and some not so good nights, Sasha at Matter was not so good, shame.

Move Bedrock to somewhere dark and dirty.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

Bedrock should move to Heaven where it started, provided they improve the ventilation system and get a new soundsytem! I am always up for fabric though ;)

Re: Matter bankrupt?

^ i thought the same thing!

bedrock at fabric would kickass!

Even though sometimes the place is full of chavs ... !?!:lol:

Re: Matter bankrupt?

back in the old days it wasnt!

Re: Matter bankrupt?

I say go back to Heaven.

Fabric is a fantastic club, but its main room capacity is smaller than Heaven's I think.

Heaven FTW!

I can't say I have ever had a good night at Fabric. I prefer Heaven

Re: Matter bankrupt?

I would go for Heaven....but i guess it will move to Fabric. last time @ bedrock 11 a cab home cost 60 quid !!

[SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana]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[/FONT][/SIZE]

Re: Matter bankrupt?

What about moving to Cable?

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

Re: Matter bankrupt?

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.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

[QUOTE=cm1179;862528] at the end of the day, it's worth the commute for the sound system[/QUOTE]

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.

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

i personal prefer smaller more intimate venues!

massive super clubs are wank!

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."

agreed

Sasha has just lost 5 gigs as a result

Re: Matter bankrupt?

[QUOTE=Dhar_2;862609] massive super clubs are wank![/QUOTE]

Space, Amneisa, Cream, Twilo, Club UK all wank:what

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!

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

[/QUOTE]

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.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

[QUOTE]Updates from Ben Watt's twitter this afternoon:

@buzzin_fly i am told BOTH matter AND fabric have gone into administration

@buzzin_fly all fabric and matter staff have been made redundant... [/QUOTE]

rumor has it that Fabric has gone bust as well

Re: Matter bankrupt?

Jebus! :shock:

Re: Matter bankrupt?

[QUOTE=Corven;864253]rumor has it that Fabric has gone bust as well[/QUOTE]

I wasn't a fan of either club to be honest, so I won't loose any sleep. All those purists who just like "small intimate clubs" will be happy though.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

Fabric is up for sale. Offers have to be in by Tuesday. Maybe Darren Hughes or James Barton will by it

The unfortunate circumstances where the fact that everyone got pissed off with getting to and from there so the stopped going. Inless someone buys it it won't be opening again.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

^that sux. I dont want the fabric label to shut down, they put out some quality mixes :(

[QUOTE=res0nat0r;867687]^that sux. I dont want the fabric label to shut down, they put out some quality mixes :([/QUOTE]

Hopefully it's just the club and not the label, but without the club, where will the influence come from for the cds? Sad...

Re: Matter bankrupt?

^yeah for sure. Defo the fabriclive series would have to take a hit right off the bat I would think.

Re: Matter bankrupt?

It's damn sad that people will let a little bit of extra driving get in their way of a great night at a fantastic club. Though I doubt that's the REAL reason. It's all based in rumors until the real truth comes out. And then it's probably still not going to be the REAL truth.
