The Archive of 2Klub Newsletters from 2003 onwards.

The Archive of 2Klub Newsletters

Past 2Klub newsletters including commentary, reviews, and announcements of forthcoming events can be viewed here.

From April 2005, past newsletters are being transferred with the aim being to transfer at least one newsletter per day, so this page will be expanding on a daily basis. The immediate focus is on 2004.

This archive provides a unique record of events within the hard dance and club promotion business. Re-reading some of the old newsletters may remind you of some past events that you attended or some aspect of club politics that you have forgotten. Perhaps you're new to clubbing and want to know more on the backgrounds of some clubs. Whatever your motivation, there's lots here to keep you occupied on a rainy afternoon.

Personally, re-reading them as I transfer them, I have been amazed at how time is just flying past. Things I thought had happened only a few months back actually occurred a year or more ago, and there's so much detail I had forgotten. Maybe I'm getting old... but anyway it's fun to be reminded of what's been going on in hard dance clubbing and club promotion.

The 2Klub Newsletter

Sign-up on the Home page to receive a regular copy of the informative 2Klub newsletter which includes info on club promoting, club reviews, DJs, website updates and lists of forthcoming events, mainly within hard dance.

I'm not out to push merchandise, and I won't pass your name or address on to anyone else.

Note that if you are already a subscriber you should be receiving a newsletter at least once a month, usually once a week. If you are not, then your e-mail address may have become defunct. I get "failed delivery" messages if this happens so contact me to check.
