No great, there is a midweek monthly at the Cellar Bar and sometimes the dnb promoters put some on but that's about the size of it.


why you making the move?

Grew up in Oxford. It's a good city. Obviously looks nice; it's a nice size, so you can walk everywhere you need to go; got good bars and restaurants.

Only problems are it's lacking on record shops and decent clubs. Looks like there been more stuff happening since I left though...Saw Mala was playing the other month.

Club:Dub at the cellar every month, had Skream, Mala and Mala down since it started, good vibe down there and the Uniporn soundsystem is gonna do wonders once they get it sorted. Benga and Skream played at the Hit & Run 7th Birthday at the Carling Academy, so yeah I reckon you'll be fine.

That is actually my face in my avatar, so if you see me come say hello. And you probably will see me.

Big up Charris and Cosgrove and the Club:Dub crew, big up Darkman, Lager, Typo, Phil and all the regulars.

i'm in that photo... :D

just get on the oxford tube and go down to london innit - there's mostly nothing going on in oxford (although respect to club:dub, and major respect to whoever set up the vex'd/ heatwave night about 6 months ago)
