The venue

The Royal Hotel is a large 3 storey club with unique décor, traditional fittings, draped curtains and a banging sound system that scares the seagulls away. The club has friendly security to make sure the club night operates smoothly.

Check out the photos on HF or DSI from nights held by Concept to see the venue. The club is licensed to 4am and alcohol is cheap and sold until this time. We have hired out the ballroom this will be the main room. For the first time we have a second room, this is the bar, where the finest electro, breaks and Drum n Bass will be belted out.

The club has an amazing lighting rig to complement the immense sound system and there will be lasers, smoke machine and inflatable’s added to the club. Smoking area is provided at the entrance.

The people who make it happen-

The DJ’s- Main room

Paul Batten- Let me introduce “The Battenator” or his normal name “Paul Batten.” Many of you will know him from being a resident at Twist, playing at INSEKT and at Tidy, Twist vs. Vicious Circle or simply are his mate and know what a legend he is.

He has been rocking now for many years as a DJ and specialises in many genres of dance music- Hard House, Techno, Funky Techno, but not POP and not WHAM! that will be me! From Batten and Brow’s early productions of their floor breaker Sloppy Jalopy and Stay on the Scene there have been many more countless tunes, Slapstick a Brow, Nowak and Batten speciality, Deep Swarm boot leg, the hard hitting Cake Mix and the ridiculously sick Gut Rot.

Next on the WARNING line- up is our second resident, the party animal “Richard” or better known as “Brow.” He has a wealth of music knowledge and technical ability and his sets are always going to be unique. So on the night we will be handing out some more of his techno demo’s to send you to another world. Brow is going to be in the main room kicking ass with some fine funky to harder techno.

Guest DJ’s

Someone we thought could shake the chandeliers from the Royal Hotel, ruffle a few feathers and hit South end with a bang and make the joint birthday’s something special is the legendary French Man- Karim . Yes this flamboyant, talented DJ is back at WARNING to play a special set with a few Karim classics thrown in for good measure.

Karim is the owner of his own record label Do Not Bend Records with classic releases such as ‘Experts on Pot’ and ‘Rocking Ronnie’ and one of his most amazing tunes to date and certainly of 2007 ‘I feel love.’ What a tune. Also out is Karim’s new album Unreleased Projects 2. Check out www.dj-karim.com for more information

Always at Warning we like to have a northern DJ down, last time being Andy Rise and Matt Pickup. This time we have chosen Rick (Kauz) and produce’s HardHouse, on the DJ front he has played at events such as Tidy vs Extreme Euphoria @ Heaven , London, Terminals @ The Renaissance Rooms , London, as well as regular slots at Xstatic , CyberKitten and Magnetic, and on the production side he has had the chance to work with some fantastic producers like Defective Audio, Frank Farrell, Dave Owens , Riggsy ,Digital Kid, DnG and Hilze and have had many of his tracks signed to labels such as Toolbox Records , Toolbox Hammerheads , FlashPoint, Delete The Weak, Hazardous Records, Xstension Records. We are looking forward to him do his shit on the night!

Our next honcho to grace the decks or should I say more appropriately these days in these ever changing times the CDJ’s, we have the awesome fella Tom Basquil. He has played for us before and closed nicely and as he has been enjoying playing b2b with Mr Batten we have put them together again to close for an hour and half finest NRG. Certainly lock up your daughters, get out of the smoking area and get your ass moving for the finest closing set.

Tom has made tunes such as the quality ‘Penny drop’, ‘distorted reality’, ‘hostile bitch’ and ‘rock dat shit’ with Steve Maynard and WMD.

To warm up for us for the first time and play some of his finest trance will be Glyn Waters. Many of you will know him from Twist. Over the past year he has been leaving the bedroom to play out and he his making head way. So get your glow sticks out and get waving.

And finally we have two wicked Southend DJ’s who love DJ’ing, clubbing, play quality Hard House and have played for Concept and Sectioned at The Royal Hotel before. Look out for this duo as they compliment this amazing line- up - Kitch b2b Phatt Beats

Graduation room

We wanted to give you a second room to enhance the already growing WARNING and play some alternative music and give some hidden stars the chance to play out. If you’re wondering why it is called the graduation room, three of the DJ’s graduated this summer! Well done, tap on the back! Oh and its not John Edwards or Pete Enza.

The graduation room is going to be warmed up by Warning resident “The Cowboy” real name “John Edwards” funking it up for us to start. He has been getting involved with DJ’ing for many years and has played in the arcade for Twist.

A last minute booking is the hugely talented and real nice guy from up north- Pete Enza who will be supplying some wicked beats and progression. Best mate of DNG, Pete will be rocking the bar.

One of the graduates from this summer to play out for WARNING is DJ Prime Example. His real name is Chris Woollett by the way. Chris is the type of person who when he wants to do something, he does it to perfection and this shows with his DJ’ing, ability to scratch and has toured Eastern Europe banging out his breaks and DnB. This set is going to be electric- I know I have seen him play.

And finally we have a b2b to finish the night off; with something we had in the main room a while ago- Drum b Bass in your face! With DJ Demo playing back to back OB, finest liquid and full on DnB to close the room! If DnB is your thing then this set will be what you need to brock out 2 and get grimy!

Now with the DJ’s sorted and the venue organised, the only thing left is you, the clubbers. Warning will be rocking Southend on Sea in style with our unique tuneage selection and we will be decorating it with Warning’s unique décor, install a laser, smoke machine, inflatable’s, resident mix CD’s and even party bags. We are anticipating a hell of a night a great friendly atmosphere and banging music from start to finish through the both room’s amazing sound system.
