What are your favourite London venues for sound etc? I ask 'cause I've been to some pretty shoddy venues recently where the sound just wasn't up to scratch - not mentioning names tho.

Anyways my fav venues for sound etc at the mo are:

Gramaphone
Cafe 1001
Plastic People

used to be the fridge in brixton all those years ago - just for the grimey-ness of it.

The End had its days too.... not that im being much use by shouting out defunct clubs! been living in bristol for too long obviously....

Never been to The Fridge. The End has good sound although on some occassions its been a bit too loud!

corsica studios
plastic people
gramaphone

cafe 1001 is probably my favorite right now, specially with the new lighting et all its a sick space

Forgot Corsica ... yeah probably the best sound in London.

+1 on
plastic people
grammaphone

I dont know why everyone stresses that the End is such a good club, I went to 1 FWD>> & Rinse there & was extremely dissapointed, with the soundsystem in particular.

Cafe 1001, PP & Grammaphone are a good shout, so is Corsica. Anyone feel Aquarium @ Old St, the sound is sick & they have a swimming pool, crowd is a bit prickish though.

Haven't been to the Aquarium for like 10 years odd. Never seem to be any nights there now that are cool. Back in the day tho different story.

NOT - Scala, The End, Fabric.

Interesting. Never been to the Scala - so the sound is pretty shit there?

i rate fabric room 3 a lot , not so much the sound but the vibe

Plastic People.
Plan B.
Cargo (For Hip Hop).
The End (Ram & Renagade Hardware nights till it closed).
East Villiage.

Plastic People
Corsica Studios

Only been these once, but sound seemed pretty decent in there:
The Arches
Area

The sound in The End was not the most amazing, but vibes there were always good.

east village sounded a bit shit when i was there. and it's full of wankers.

This is the one, really. Only been there once and maybe wasn't in an entirely objective frame of mind but my recollection is that the system in room 2 made the Plastic People setup sound like something assembled by Fisher Price.

But I'm kind of fussy about soundsystems - Plastic People always strikes me as having tinnitus inducing high / mid but no real sub weight unless you scrap to get into the right place on the floor...

Best sound in London in my experience: Corsica and Cable.

Aquarium does have a pretty decent soundsytem too, unfortunately full of twats and no nights worth goin too, thats not too say i haven't ended up there at 9oclock on a sunday morning once or twice tho!!

whats wrong with ministry? albeit a bit pricey and usually a bunch of big name sellout doosh dj's, its a pretty nice venue with some hot chicas.

anywhere in brixton is a bit too grimey for me. as a white boy getting off the tube in brixton, i feel like i'm about to get stabbed.

i heard corsica is the bollocks

Cargo is a decent venue. Good sound although could do with a little more sub. And again lots of hot chicas.
