The history about Movement:

‘Movement’ was born in late 1996 at a time when the sound of Drum & Bass was beginning to polarise and nights were built around one particular ‘harder’ strain of the Drum & Bass genre.
At a launch party for ‘Techsteppin’ @ it’s first home a fortnightly residency in a private members bar, ‘Embargoes’ (Kings Road, west London) B4 moving to a thursday night residency at ‘Bar Rumba’ on Shaftesbury Avenue in London’s ‘Theatreland’ It was resolved that in order to fuel the evolution of the music a base was needed to be established for all types of the sound. Bryan Gee grabbed the name ‘Movement’ from the air (to symbolise the continued movement forward of Drum & Bass) and ‘Movement’ as we now know it had begun –

Now, seven years later, in 2004, ‘Movement’ remains roadblocked every single time. Playing host to every credible DJ in and out of the scene; from Grooverider through Goldie, Hype, Jumpin’ Jack Frost, Roni Size to Optical and everyone else in-between like Todd Terry, for example.

Over its rich seven-year history, ‘Movement’ has become a veritable dub plate testing-ground, and spread it’s wings through nights and the label to the 4 corners of the globe! hosting one-offs and tents at large-scale events like the 50,000 capacity Homelands, the 60,000 sell-out Skolbeats in Brazil and the massive Ministry of Sound Festival at Knebworth, as well as the big one-offs at clubs such as The End, Mass & Fabric in London.

This is perhaps one of the reasons why ‘Movement’ was voted Club Of The Year for the last two years consecutively at the Knowledge Magazine Awards. Indeed, Muzik, Ministry, Mixmag, The Face and a host of other top magazines have consistently placed ‘Movement’ as one of the UK’s best clubs overall in their yearly charts.

The Sound of Movement project also incorporates a radio show hosted by Bryan Gee every Thursday from 21.00 – 23.00 (GMT) playing on Ministry of Sound Radio, the largest dance music radio station in the world.

For the future, ‘Movement’ continues its work in territories all around the world – with residencies in Nottingham, Portugal and Toronto to name but a few, with resident DJ’s Bryan Gee, Marky, Addiction, Ruffstuff, Ray Keith and DJ Patife alongside the resident MCs Stamina,Darrison, Moose and IC3.
