Building Six – Oi oi oi!

Being someone who is really excited to dive into the London electronic music scene, Building Six caught my attention. Building Six is a three floor “superclub” and is a part of the O2 Arena, which is a huge stadium in South East London where they house many sports and music events. The O2 Arena sits on a peninsula looking out over the River Thames and, when lit up at night, is quite the spectacle. Building Six especially, though, strikes my fancy because of its the performers who have played shows there, and I am talking primarily about the Hospital Records showcase, “Hospitality”. Hospital Records is an independent record label in South London that I plan on working with for my independent project while I am abroad. They specialize in Drum & Bass, a specific sub-genre of electronic music I really enjoy that I feel does not get enough credit for its artistic, musical qualities. Hospital has been doing their shows at Building Six for years now, and their final showcase at Building Six will be happening in five days. Though this saddens me, Building Six is still a great venue that houses all kinds of electronic and other genres of music that will be happening while I, along with my other LC compadres, will be there. A little on the expensive side, but it’s worth checking out considering how well managed this club is, and also if you are an electronic music freak like me :).
