It was a sad day when Matter nightclub closed last year, after the owners of super-underground London venue Fabric failed to keep the enterprise afloat.
I was hesitant when news broke that Proud Group, which owns Camden's Proud Galleries and a bunch of other UK venues, announced it was taking over the Greenwich club, naming it Proud2.
The firm promises 'Vegas-style clubbing' and has completed a £1 million renovation that includes chandeliers, a VIP area and a gentlemans' club on the second floor - a world away from its founders' ethos and the type of club I wouldn't piss on if it was on fire.
So I was surprised to see the venue announce a lineup worthy of the capital's more grimey venues, with breakbeat dons Stanton Warriors, Radio One's Zane Lowe, and dubstep filth merchant Bar9 among the list. The night is hosted by Nottingham-born breakbeat promotion Spectrum.
