Matter

Description

From the people behind London hotspot fabric comes matter - a vibrant club located in The O2 offering a packed events schedule with live acts plus some top-name DJs.

As you might expect, matter pulls in the big guns in terms of DJs and bands. Bands such as the Wombats and the Automatic have graced the stage, although the emphasis here is definitely on the DJs. Although a superclub, the intimate nature of the DJ booths means you can watch such geniuses as Carl Cox and Jon Rundell, Paul Van Dyk, John Digweed, Deadmau5, Mr Scruff, Zombie Nation and Eric Prydz kick out the tunes in seemless sets that pushes the sound system to its limits. They´ve also had some big events such as the MixMag party that saw Simian Mobile Disco and Timo Maas take to the decks. As the music pumps so hard it seems to get your entire body vibrating, dancing here is an incredible experience. It’s the music that makes this club, and the consistent quality of the acts keep matter firmly on the map and makes it reputable competition for such places as Ministry and even Fabric itself.

You’ll get a different crowd depending on what’s going on at matter, but even on house nights, which seem to make up the majority of the nights here, you’ll find a remarkably mixed clientele.

The staff are startlingly efficient and the queues for the bar are minimal, even when the club is at capacity. The door staff are friendly and keep the line moving and there’s none of the attitude you get at many Central London clubs. You’ll find it hard not to get sucked into the whole atmosphere as people from far and wide join in the fun.
