Another one down

London clubs just don't seem to be surviving at the moment :(

I hope MoS stays open for The Gallery nights, at the very least.
 
Pulse won't last long at all - The days of a 4500 capacity superclub in London are long long long gone.
 
I head it can be split up into smaller rooms or some thing. Robo is right tho London is all about the small clubs at the moment
 
Big clubs can survive, but they have to be consistently changing there nights, have good public transport (Not like Matter), and be promoting themselves hardcore.

Smaller clubs seem the way forward these days. I wonder if that will ever roll over into Ibiza.

Naah - everyone's on holiday, easy to fill the places every night.

Any micro scenes coming in underneath all that either get stamped out by fat cat Mafiosos or fun ruining Guardia Civil.
 
there is shedloads going on beneath the surface in London right now - whilst everyone was writing the obituaries a year or so back, things started taking off again. party organisers are having to be ever smarter about how to organise events, when you have councils and cops on your case all the time. in a way we're going down the NY route - smaller scale parties with systems you can fit into galleries, shops, office blocks, snooker halls, car parks, depots you name it. Very much a city thing though due to the population, and discretion that the range of buildings and narrow streets offers you. My guess is that in somewhere as small as Ibiza with its very different infrastructure and range of buildings and party options, it is pretty easy for the authorities to know exactly what is going on and to snuff out anything "unofficial" - you're talking about a very different kind of clubbing. I personally don't know how long East London will go on like this - the Olympics might change the dynamics of the area, commercialise it, the yuppies will follow, the same old story, for now, it's best just to make the most of the few crumbs we have...

I hate myself for saying this but I love it too. (on a good night which is about once a year at most - it's mainly pleb central.)

...but I'm convinced it'll close when the elephant and castle development gets properly under way. It was all in the press not long ago.
 
I enjoyed dennis ferrer and kerri chandler going back to back in the big box room when I was last there - magical night - bar y thym aaargh - now THAT was a big room tune

but I personally wouldn't shed too many tears if it was knocked down and turned into affordable accomodation for some of the migrants so lazily abused elsewhere on this forum...

Thank goodness for that.

Thought it was a recent thing.
 
MoS is currently fighting off a developer on the otherside of Gaunt Street. There is the possibility the council may side with the developer over the club.
