    ^^^Really? I'm going to the Custard Factory on the 27th for the first time.

    Basslaced this Friday at Stealth, Shy FX & Caspa!
    You'll love it, especially if they've opened up the whole complex, which they should do as it's the dnb awards!!!!So jealous right now!
    I used to go to The custard factory at least twice a week, man I miss that place

    Nice, im in love with Stealth so I cant wait to see what Custard Factories like. I ain't massively into DnB though.


    Has anyone been to Market bar? Rubberdub have an event there on the 12th, Radikal Guru & Distinction which should be massive, they held a quality night at the West Indian centre a few months ago.

    Corinne i know exactly what you mean!! Not been into dubstep for thaaaat long, but back home in Leeds all my friends were into the underground dance scene, really miss the decent clubnights & warehouse parties and stuff.

    Met some great people here but all anyone ever seems to want to do is EQ, revs or walkabout pffft!

    It's frustrating when there's so much happening but not knowing anyone to go with.

    There's a 'rave' society at trent, not really checked it out but could be a way of meeting people who like decent music maybe


    Yeah me too, I mean I wouldn't say I'm like a die hard fan I just really enjoy the events, it's a whole different atmosphere, so much better! And like i said, NYE was just so good

    I've already had somebody get in touch with me on Facebook in the same situation! so add me if it really gets to you, we'll go out! To Stealth like that person said ^^^ Uni is all about meeting new people after all

    Hope you're good xxx

    The 'rave' society doesn't seem like the right kind of society, I might be wrong??!

    Anyway, I'm lucky enough to have neighbours who listen to dubstep and dnb (found out as they have an amazing sound system, you can hear from two floors down! And pretty much all the dubstep/dnb tunes that I have, so thats was good) we went to detonate last friday, you and corinne should go to stealth! However nothing compares to the Custard Factory in my opinion in terms of the venue :yep: but Nottingham gets a lot of good dj's.


    Neighbours with a sound system, that is unbelievable luck
    I know a girl who has a load of people in the house opposite her who are well into dubstep and DnB and she won't stop complaining about it

    I'm like PLEASE can we swap places! lol xx

    Yeah you'll love it, I'm not into dnb much either, just the odd tune with a nice bass line will get me, I like jungle. I'm going to market bar next week to check it out, as my flatmate said it's good on that day, I've been there before though.
    I've never heard of Radikal Guru and Distinction *looks them up*...
    They sound good has more of a chilled vibe, which woulld suit the market bar venue. I might check that out.
    :yep:

    I know! However it'ss not good when I've gotta be up early the next day, no matter how much I'm loving the bass through walls! It's they have my music collection, from rnb/hip hop and dubstep...so weird but good!
    I might check out Stealth when Joker comes.

    Yeah Radikal Guru's more chilled 'dubby' Dubstep, proper reggae influences to it.

    But yeah I do like the older Jungle scene, they've got a room dedicated to it with the likes of Goldie playing so I may just station in there all night, 180bpm is a ridiculous tempo to dance to in fairness, especially for 6/7 hours!

    I don't understand when people talk of bpm guessing beats per minute??? Give me an example of a track at 180bpm. Whenever I go to Custard I'm there dancing hard for 6 hours plus at whatever tempo the beats at lol, me and my mate are hard core man :woo:

    Are you going to stealth 26th?

    Uh well most DNB/Jungle is around 180bpm, where-as Dubsteps usually made at about 140bpm. Don't get me wrong I love a skank to some hyped up DNB, but 8 hours of it is gunna leave me in a wreck, at least with Dubstep I can take it easy!

    And I wasn't planning to but I see Gentlemans Dub Club are there, so yeah probably will.

    You guys, you are a godsend

    Since moving to Nottingham I have met many lovely people but not a single person who is into DnB or dubstep nights, which is ok for a while... but now i'm starting to go a little bit insane, especially seeing as there is such a huge scene here.

    I went to Detonate NYE with some friends from home and now I mentally want to go to all the events, but no one will go with me! They def need a society at NTU, i just don't know how you're spose to meet these people!

    Anyway add me on facebook if you want its Corinne Homer

    It would just be a relief to know ANYONE from round here with the same taste in nights out

    Taaaa xx

    Well funny you should say this because I had the same problem and so I started such a society...RaveTrent (I didnt want to call it that but hey thats democracy!)

    just to clarify a few things...

    RaveTrent is not really a "Rave" society - its a society for people who dont enjoy ocean as much as everyone else and a society that runs events with good music for nice, friendly people. Members also get discounts to most of the big nights in Notts like Detonate.

    RaveTrent ran a bi-weekly dubstep and dnb night for a couple of years and now it hosts a monthly Thursday at Dogma in the Lacemarket. There's always a friendly crowd and good people. In fact, I met most of my best Uni friends through RaveTrent. I'm not sure what its like now but we handed it down to good bunch of people so go check it out...

    Also check out the next Tektronik @ Stealth on April 9th with Kito (UK debut - without a doubt the best female dubstep producer at the moment Kito Myspace), Oneman (Rinse FM) and BAR9.
    TEKTRONIK APRIL 9TH FACEBOOK EVENT

    Also Tektronik, RaveTrent, DnB Soc, Dubstep Soc and RaveSoc are teaming up to do an almighty end of year event at Stealth in early June so watch this space!!

    If anyone is up for selling tickets for these events hit me up x

    PLEASE say there is dubstep/DnB/House/Jungle/Grime, I'm used to Leeds where that scene is literally amazing.
    I hate oceana and mainstream, I'm off to trent, but I am praying I meet someone who is the same as me. Anyone going to trent as a fresher this sept who is the same?
