The soul of clubbing is being crushed under the weight of massive festivals and big-money parties, leaving small venues and grassroots promoters struggling to survive. As another small club in Leeds closes its doors due to ‘unassailable costs,’ we have to do better—reduce our fees when needed and support these spaces that built the culture. Enjoy these flyers from the first parties I threw in Brighton back in 2007/08 (Hold tight the MySpace glory days!) Those lineups wouldn’t have happened with today’s fees! Back then, I was one of the only promoters pushing forward-thinking bass culture in the city. Most of the audience didn’t even know half the acts, but I knew those parties were essential to moving the culture forward. Let’s help promoters do the same in their towns and cities. If you’re a small venue, promoter, or party outside of London, drop me a DM, and let’s make things happen. 📥👊🏻 PS. Shout out to all my “Top Friends” that came played for £250-£500 back then! ❤️
