Club in Manchester
I thought I would do a blog post about a club in Manchester well to be honest it is a underground car park. But apparently no one knows about it and are told on the night where to go for this huge event. They recon that about 2,000 people go to it and they recon that is able to evade the police every time.
There is nothing much on this at the minute but they recon that this new rival event to Warehouse Project could be as big if not even bigger in months to come. I recon that if heard about should show are love for this.
Pacha in Egypt
Pacha that is open in Egypt is situated on the main street of Narma Bay and is reported to be extremely busy all the time. I have walked past the venue but never been in. When I did walk past the venue it seems as though it was just made up of 20 shop fronts and it seemed like Pacha had adapted to Narma Bay’s surrounding and not the other way round which was rather strange to see. I still really enjoy my time there on the main strip as it looked really good.
Next time I am in Egypt I will have to have a look at going.
Empire Middlesbrough
The Empire Middlesbrough is another huge venue in the North East of England that attracts the biggest and best DJ’s from all over the world.
I have been to Empire and have seen the likes of Tiesto, Piccotto and Fergie. It is amazing that a town like Middlesbrough can house some of the best DJ’s in the world if I am honest. Middlesbrough is more of a run down area if i am honest it is not place that you would expect the best and biggest DJ’s to go but still they flock to this area to play.
Digital In Newcastle
I thought I might as well go on about my home town night club that I have strangely enough never been too. I was in the closing years of foundation a often goer. I thought that foundation in its day was superb. I think that there was a lot of people out there that would agree with me but with the new Digital I have heard that it is superb and with the sound system that is only used in 3 other places in the world it must sounds mint. The Funktion sound system is one of the most state of the art music systems going.
I am going to have to go then I recon.
Tall Trees Country Club and Spar
Tall Trees or Club M if you want to get technical is resident of the Tall Trees Country Club and Spar. This club has been house to some of the biggest and best DJ’s in the world over the years. This place has one of the best sound systems that I have heard in ages as well and I am a huge fan of the place.
I would fully recommend going to this venue for a night out as I think this is a superb night out. What ever your after you will find it here. I think I am babbling on a bit now if I am honest.

Hip Hop originally stemmed from the American street art of B-Boying – more commonly known as Breakdancing, it also has roots in MC ing, and DJing.
Born out of the frustrations of the black african American, Afro-Caribbean inhabitants of areas in New York It serves to show musical commitment to help the emacipation of these communities from oppressive social conditions.
Hip hop is not just about music, it also centres around DJing MCing, Street Grafitti and Breaking. These are known as the five pillars of hip hop as stated by Afrika Bambaataa.
Since first imerging from the south Bronx it has spread rapidly around the world and Hip hop and R&B music is the most popular form of music in current circulation.
Beatbox is another form of improvisation that stems from hip hop. The art of accuratley producing the functions of a electronic drum machine using only ones mouth. Impressive in live form, but done badly it can be a cringeworthy experience.
