Its not suited for club nights. More for concerts etc. Saw dixon and ame there once and the whole thing felt off.
My first ever night out in London was Troxy. Garage party "Pure Temptation" there was a bit ruckus and the place got absolutely trashed. Still can't believe it walked away without taking a punch
Afterwards some guy got beat up in the kebab shop opposite just because he was white. So easily could've been me. Anyway, in all the times I've been to London since, that was easily the worst
Venue itself look(ed) nice though, but a weird place for a party - especially a UKG party

There were rumours about it being turned into Flats and Offices, but of course a lot has changed in the world with working from home and they seem to have had a busy winter period so fingers crossed that's not it

I don’t think it’s Printworks. Pollen would actually make sense with the Defected London disappearing the last couple of daysThere were rumours about it being turned into Flats and Offices, but of course a lot has changed in the world with working from home and they seem to have had a busy winter period so fingers crossed that's not it

Pollen? Tricky stuff. Any events business that bounces back properly after the Chaos will be the lucky ones

Ooh, I just looked up “pollen refunds” on Twitter. Sounds like they’ve already spent the refund cash I think….

Good to hear a dj calling out bad behaviour by a security team. Bushwaka encouraging punters treated badly at Orange Yard, Soho, to make complaints.
Understand places have to be 'safe', free of drugs etc but often question why door teams act the way they do

Seems odd since Orange Yard is only days away from closing down for a couple of years apparently as the whole building is rebuilt … we went last October and actually it was a nice little club and the security team on that night were really friendly
(Edit : actually closes mid June so weeks away from closing not days)

I have some sympathy with venue operators - Westminster council hate night clubs and any excuse to close a venue down they will - evidence of dealing , drug taking, violence. You also don’t know what trouble they’ve had in the past and how much attention they’re getting.
Sadly until authorities change their view / stance on the world - the venues need to be seen to be doing all they can. Days of the 90s and wandering into clubs are long gone

Agree, but there is a line that seems to have been crossed here when it comes to the searches. I don’t think being “thorough” is an excuse for security to act in the way that has been reported. Unfortunately, the SIA are very weak when it comes to complaints too

An intense search on one person, could leave them feeling a bit violated, the same search on another could result in a knife being found. Given how the UK is these days.
And in regards to security/bouncers attitudes being less than miserable, i find thats quite often the case in that line of work. Plenty of helmets.
I should add, that if anyone was abusing their position purposely on the above post about the Bushwacka night, then obviously thats disgusting!

I don’t disagree , I just see both sides of it. We saw the lengths the authorities went to, to try and shut down Fabric with undercover officers etc, so venues cannot really win

I think the way for venues to win in punters eyes is to take complaints seriously rather than dismissing them as in this instance. There will be bad apples in the industry as there are in all, but if the bad apples know that any complaints will get ignored, they’ll just crack on doing what they fancy.
