Dubstepforum.com

We're launching a new events section on www.kmag.co.uk soon and we're doing a month long season of special club related features. We want to do a top ten dubstep clubs list so FWD and DMZ obviously spring to mind for London but what about the rest of the UK and worldwide, what do you think should be in there?

seeing Mala, RSD and Rustie at club 11 in amsterdam was sick


gotta take an elevator to get to 11th floor... allow puking in a lift

wire in leeds, for ruffage and tropical

That sounds sick! (not the puking part) Is there regular dubstep events held there?

Saw the Hyperdub lot there a couple years ago, Ikonika, Zomby, Darkstar, the Bug, Kode 9 etc. Thought I'd stumbled into a crackden in the downstairs bit!! apparentley its closed down now though?

Hit & Run at Mint Lounge in Manchester... seeing Skream there almost 2 years ago was something special! Area 51 is pretty good too

yes! the downstairs is reeal sketchy! walking down by those docks! makes coming up to the 11th floor and being released into lush poshness that much more epic... great view of the city too


shame if its closed... excellent venue

West Indian Centre in Leeds, for the soundsystem alone but also intimate venue

Seconded, you really have to feature this place simply because it holds the two biggest dub/dubstep nights in the north

as for manchester i'd say Bass Camp, been running for what, 5 years? say no more, biggest lineups in manc, just not regular enough

In Brighton i would say Digital and also Volks club, both have good soundsytems and are nice and loud and are dark and simple yet brilliant.

yeah definately, Room 2 at Digital is a bit shit though, and noone goes in there!!

all about the lift with no doors and that crazy painting going all the way up the walls so it looks like its moving!! Would love to go back there

For Brighton...

Audio is a nice dark space for skankin...Soundsystem isn't the best though...
Digital has a good soundsystem...but attracts dick heads...
Concorde is good - but only when Superdubpressure stick their 40,000 watt system in there..
Volks..is also quite good.

berghain.

Agreed, I've had the best nights at Concorde 2 - it's just expensive. Digital do have good DJs at the weekends but most of the weeks it's shitty Indie stuff that young teenagers get off to - so a lot of them end up there on the weekend too. Volks probably best for underground vibe, but can be deserted in there. Audio is pretty cool, but yes soundsystem lacks, but the outdoors terrace place is nice.

nottingham for detonate at stealth and rescue rooms

Method in Preston, Lancashire has a monthly (or more) night called Drop which is fucking awesome. for £4 (an absolute pittance) i've seen people like Goth Trad, Reso, Funtcase, Datsik, The Others, Borgore, Caspa, Bar 9, and both Rusko and i think Breakage are coming up. it's awesome when people do exciting things in otherwise shit cities for the love of it, not to make big cash.

dub war @ club love, new york

Stink Like Sock @ The Junction, Cambridge.
SuperDubPressure @ Concorde, Brighton.
Trigga @ 013, Tilburg.

Couple of our personal favs...

Some Night @ The Den, London (Wicked for a midweek brockout).
Sub Squad @ The Royal, Southend (Banging system & mental crowd... plus its the only dubstep night we got here in Essex lol).

Volks in Brighton is sick aswell, and RubbaDub @ The Blueprint in Notts was something special, unfortunatly the venue is closed now.

Corsica In london aswell... I'v had some SICK nights in there. We Fear Silence when Kode9 did a 3hr set was next level & When The Bug n Loefah hosted room 2 "The bash" i think it was called was
