The likes of Tobacco Dock, Printworks etc have a clear place on the clubbing landscape in London- a clear change from the standard purpose built venues we’re used to. These new locations play host to different types of events from raves to fashion shows and offer a very different clubbing experience. Where Ministry of Sound, for example, is purpose built for raving with smaller bar areas, fewer toilets, smaller rooms, Printworks, by contrast, is vast. Events are run almost like a mini festival with cashless bars and lockers instead of cloakrooms. Both have a place but my personal opinion is that you just cannot beat that heady, sweaty, lights down vibe that you get in underground and veteran establishments like Fabric or The Cause! Being herded around like sheep and doing KS3 maths at the bar to work out how many tokens you need for a drink is a vibe killer! It detracts from the reason we are (or should be) there- the music. I’ll take a dingy club with a world class sound system over a super-venue any day :)
