New Fu bar is kickass.

Zen is badly designed. The dance floor is too narrow and too long, resulting in munter seepage.

 

I concur on this..... so did my moonboot.

 

Note to all: don't RUN across Zen to see someone in the corner booth and not look where you are running.... those two TINY steps down to the dance floor result in nasty injuries.

No fulla, it was open through to 2001 - 2002ish easy.

 

I helped promote many amateur all ages dance parties like Reflex at the old ministry back sometime between 2000-2001, and a few school balls etc with a few friends. We did a couple of parties at the power station too (like WhiteWash) then moved on to a permanent place in the viaduct.

 

I don't fully know when Ministry closed down, it may have been really late 2001 but I'm pretty sure it was still going in early 2002..

 

*edit to make sense*

haha, used to be the opposite at the old fu,, down the stairs into the loud dark pit.

 

Fuck yea, those were the days. I can feel the first rising vibes of a dnb frenzy just reading that.

 

New Fu and Zen is all good though, not as good sound but i like the upmarket feel. Nothing will ever beat sound that the old FU bar had of course, that was the cleanest warmest sub i've encountered so far in this life.

 

Anyone else notice how off his racket one of the Asian bartenders is at Fu?

 

That guy is intense man, he did this crazy eye thing and then when it was my turn he gave me a 1000 volt stare which freaked me out made me hesitate on my order and he went to the next guy then didn't serve me again for the rest of the night.

Phil, Must agree with the above sentiment re the old fu.

 

Many twisted, but clear memories of proper rinse outs down there - when it was fully cranking words don't do it justice. I left AK before the old Fu closed and havent checked the new one but IMO there is really only one Fu...

fuck i really miss old fu now

me too

 

New Fu > Old Fu > Coherent

agree

 

coherent's soundsystem is incredibly shit. i cant go there without plugs..

why isnt rising sun used more as a venue?? i love going there for dubstep on wednesdays. i reckon it would b a pretty sweet venue for a smaller sized dnb gig as an alternative to coherent..

you so shouldve had the sweater vest out last night dude.....there was plenty fly honeys at fu last night.

 

Like I said, the ratio of men would was too high, and Nathan was stroking my leg anyway...

I don't wanna have to hurt anybody's feelings ya know. I'm just there to have a good time and provide visuals for all the girls.
