Non-SS I know, but that could be changed! This December the North East sees the opening of one of the most exciting clubs the region has ever seen. Foundation is opening in Newcastle - giving the city its first ever purpose built dance club. More than stlg2.5 million has been spent by the DP Leisure group who have bought the site of the historic Riverside club on Melbourne Street, and have transformed it into a slick, state-of-the-art 21st Century club. Architects Malcolm Fraser have taken a 1930's Bahaus-style theme as their inspiration, transforming the venue into a two storey industrial looking complex. The CVA sound system alone has cost stlg400,000 with an installation employing the very latest in digital technology to rival the best systems in the world. Managing director of CVA, Craig Varty said: "Out of the 250 systems we have installed this is one of the most substantial. In my professional opinion it will rival the best in the world, including the Ministry of Sound." As well as its modern interior and impressive sound and lighting systems Foundation will play host to the North East's most famous and best loved DJ's. The club has already lined up three of the regions most successful promoters to host their key nights. Scott Bradford and Scooby, from legendary house music night Shindig, will be hosting the venue each Saturday, playing top quality underground house and garage. Skev and Andy Fenner from Nice are lined up to host Friday with their new night @ac, where they will be playing a cutting edge mixture of breakbeat, disco and funky house with the emphasis on glamour and fun. Furthermore Aaron Mellor, of Bulletproof fame, is taking his successful big beat, retro, hip hop, indie formula to the club on Thursday for a new night - Stonelove. Each week the promoters will be joined by their own very special guests. Confirmed guests for December and the year 2000, include K-Klass, Deep Dish, Angel, Freddy Fresh, Andy Smith from Portishead and The Herbaliser. Commenting on the launch of Foundation, DP Leisure Group's managing director David Phelps said; "We have spared no expense in investing in Foundation. We want to give people in the North East a club with the best possible sound and lighting, the world's best DJ's, the best atmosphere - basically the best club they have ever had." Foundation opens on Friday 10th December.
