In 3 weeks i will sadly be leaving Bristol and heading to Ipswich. Now Ipswich isn't famed for a lot other than tractors and inbreeding. What i would love to know is are there any dubstep nights in the area? Colchester, Norwich, Ipswich itself? Anybody have any ideas???

Uh...Bleach?

One of my favourite bands of the '89-'93 shoegaze era.

Also,The Adicts are from there.A punk fave of mine as well.

I lolled at this thread title

not for shit mate some funk nights if youre into that sort of stuff in ipswich, in colchester should be getting some decent hip hop nights going soon, no dubstep yet though

theres a few nights in norwich that play dubstep
look out for molotov, shalom, harmitage shanks
n amental if ya like jungle

doubt it - takes a while for things to out into the woods - dnb wise Digital and Spirit probs still live there, Photek came from round them parts as well as Klute but dubstep - naahhh

actually i remember the carribian club having reggae nights.....

cambridge has subculture every month (i think?). not sure how many miles from ipswich to be honest but i always thought of them being fairly near. was akti2 and ramadanman last month and i think they;'re tyring to book more guests. it's good anyway though!

Base Records is a nice shop in Ipswitch

Well, it looks like i will be trekking to events in the near future..

As for Cambridge and Ipswich being near... They are about 1h 10m in a car apart. Probably closer to London.

edit: That is a lie. London is far further.

i think theres some stuff happening in my town (colchester soon). lets see!

is redeye records based down there?

yea redeye is there , its pretty gd store place is dutty tho dont htink there are much dubstep venues in east anglia tbh

mate youre going to the wrong city, ive been there many a time, my cousin used to live there, there is nowt going on, no decent night clubs or anything, god record shops and a nice skatepark and some all right graff, but if u r looking for dubstep i doubt ull find a single trace

start your own scene there....

Giving this a bump, as it has now been 10 months since i moved here and i have made it to a sum total of 0 dubstep nights in Ipswich and just 3 on my travels back to Bristol

Somebody i spoke to today mentioned something at the Silverstar on Fridays, but they were very vague on the details. Anybody have any ideas where i can find dubstep? Some people here that i have spoken to actually know what it is, finally! So i'm hoping there is a chance of catching some somewhere....

why not start your own night?? gotta have someone to get things moving, why not make it you?

mate mala was in norwich last night!
off the top of my head the next 'big name' around is benga at beats in abundance
lots of nights with more local heads playing going on as well (harmitage/tremor/down low)
sick dub/reggae scene too (freeking/rebel lion/roots renegade)
a fair bit going on here considering!

o yeh, i think chrome (kontakt) played in ips last night too...

Ramp Recordings is based just outside Ipswich. Used to be a great scene round here in the early 90's, not much interesting going on any more though I'm afraid. Kirk DeGeorgio does live here, and Peel Acres is also close by!

a said above if fuck alls going on put ur own night on, see if u can get some heads from the local area to get on it or get in tocuh with Djs or whatever. no ones gonna do it for u so be the pioneer u never knwo maybe u'll start the biggest thing in ipswich since that mad case prostitute murderer

i'm from colchester jus got in from seeing ghetto and devlin perform there spoke to the promoter and he's interested in dubstep so if you wanna link up and sort out a night would be happy to get involved man, i produce (try to) and dj so hit me up
