China has long been known, sadly, as a place for counterfeits. Unfortunately, this particular news will not help improve the country’s reputation, although it comes with a bit of a side chuckle or two.
Mixmag has reported that Dutch DJ and promoter Bram van Ravenhorst, who operates an underground club called Echo Bay in Chongqing, recently discovered a club in the city called fabric. Not only does this Chongqing club share the same name as that of the iconic London nightclub, the former also has the logo that is almost identical to the one used by the latter.
Opened just last February, Printworks has made a name for itself as one of the hottest new clubs in the London scene. It is also a massive venue at 16 acres and it can hold up to 5,000 people within its premises.
The space, which was formerly a newspaper printing facility, is being described by those behind it as a groundbreaking multipurpose and experimental venue that will offer a wide spectrum of entertainment including music, fashion and film.
Upcoming shows include showcases for Tale of Us’ Afterlife and Ben Klock’s Photon, in addition to star-studded bookings such as Richie Hawtin, The Chemical Brothers and more. In addition, Printworks has also served as a venue to screen movies and even hold a fashion show. Full list of events can be found here.

People usually go to Airbnb to find a place to sleep while visiting a new city. But some tourists have a somewhat different idea altogether.
That was apparently the case when a group of tourists decided to turn their rented one-bedroom Airbnb pad in Canonbury, London, UK into a full-fledged nightclub. Full-fledged in the sense that it had a a DJ, bouncer and a professional sound system set up. And yes, they even charged tickets to enter the flat and managed to draw a 200+ crowd that spilled into the street.
âIt sounded like fabric was upstairs,â one neighbor said. “It was just the constant bass thud. We saw one guy carrying in DJ equipment.â
Unfortunately, the pad was located in a residential area, and as such the event frustrated the neighbors trying to get some rest for the night.
âIt was like a football crowd,â said another neighbor who was at home at the time with his pregnant wife. âIt was the worst night ever. I could hear the music louder than if I was playing it in my own living room.â
The owner of the flat was out of the country at the time. Upon hearing the news, he felt “terrible and couldnât do anything.â
The local town council members first attempted to put the party to the stop but weren’t able to do so. Eventually, the police arrived at 3AM though they decided to wait for backup due to the size of the crowd.
Police started clearing out the party after 4:30AM, with the party ultimately ending shortly after 6AM

On April 17th, 2017 shocking news about an acid chemical burn attack at nightclub Mangle E8 (Wringer & Mangle) began making the world rounds. The nightclub is an ex-industrial laundry basement now converted into a multi-use events space in London Fields, home to a 720 capacity basement event space, a canteen/bar on the ground floor and numerous music and arts workspaces. Mangle is advertised to be a new venue for music enthusiasts who want to party in the heart of London.
The Sun reports that the venue had been hosting the Lovejuice Warehouse Party, a nine-hour house music night when the attack broke out injuring 12 and requiring 400 partygoers to be evacuated into the street. The Police Department, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance Service arrived at around 01:10 BST. A tenant that lives in a space overlooking the club explained the confusing scene: “It happened so fast – they rushed people out. I thought it was a stabbing because all I heard was ‘move, move, move – move out of the area’. The security was telling the crowd to go down that way – people on this side were waiting to go home but they couldn’t go home because the road was closed. People were confused.”
