A new music venue is due to open in Brixton this September. ‘Phonox‘ will be located where Plan B stood before its closure, and will be open from 6:00 PM every day.
Phonox‘s Andy Peyton, who is also the director of The Nest and XOYO, reported to Resident Advisor: “We’ve got a very specific plan and set rules for ourselves to make the club into the place we want it to be: a dance floor full of people with smiles on their faces, not facing the DJ with camera phones at the ready, but enjoying the music for its own sake“.
Meanwhile on the other side of the city, Hackney City Council has declared war on the borough’s nightlife, planning to stop any new bars of clubs from opening after 11pm in the week and midnight at weekends. This news follows a string of venue closures across the city including Madame Jojo’s, The Joiners Arms, Plastic People, Cable, Crucifix Lane, 12 Bar Club and Warehouse LDN among others.
