I wonder aswell... my fav big club fwd and rinse have been at was The End, mad vibes, although It was a really short spell or felt like it
Yeha the last one they did there when they opened that other venue/bar upstairs and had dj's playing sets through the years was sick.

They should do it there again!

yeah that night was wicked! distinctly remember the through the years set in the lounge room, one of the most pleasant rounds of drinks with my mates!

RIP matter...

Long live Matta...

Actually got the promo pack they gave out for the press night before it opened, wonder if that is worth anything...

booo

still got to give credit to clubs like matter and fabric for being 100% about the music but i think most people who are into music dislike them as venues anyway

i know a loada people who used to regularly go Fabric and couldnt give a fuck really what was playing there, it was jus a place to go, all clubs are to an extent, they close, they open, things go on

Been to Matter a few times and never really liked it as a venue. Too clean, too white, and usually for the nights i went to, too busy.

Seen some awesome DJs there, and will never forget Dizzee Rascal, D Double E, Skepta and Jammer jumping on the mic for Plastician's set at the first Ram but generally not my favorite club.

My thoughts exactly.

I went in Jan. Was an impressive club, but pretty much in the middle of nowhere (in terms of London).

not many tears shed for a club that funds the IRA.

With Matter paying a brand fee to Rinse/FWD of about £4,000, I'm sure Fabric (same group behind Matter for those that didn't know) will get first dibs in on where Rinse/FWD will end up.

No offence to The Den, but if Rinse/FWD can sell 2,600 tickets they will be better off going to a venue like Fabric or The Coronet.

But if they go to The Coronet, then any DJ's who play there will never be able to play at Fabric - ever, apparently.

not sure about that. i know fabric are quite protective of their DJ's but i doubt they would shut the door completely, especially in the circumstances!
