Speaking of listings, Phonox probably has the biggest muscles to flex in that department.
Not a week goes by where Phonox isn’t hosting an outrageously popular artist in their surprisingly intimate venue. I’ve seen Mercury-prize winner James Blake play to a few hundred people, on surprise visit no less. The best really just want to play there.
Why? If I had to guess, maybe its Soundsystem. Their behemothic rigs, often provided by the acclaimed Sinai Soundsystem, will have your inner ear whistling for the rest of your life. Please do rave with care, earplugs do come strongly recommended. Even with ear plugs you’ll hear every grain.
Typically hosting house, dubstep, and dnb, Phonox offers some of the best of London’s underground artists, acting as a de facto hotspot for South London’s electronic dance scene. Every Friday plays host to whatever four week residency they have on at the minute. 2023 had Mala, Marcel Dettman, Lenzman, and Berlin’s Hor label take on month-long residency’s.
Though the smoking areas tight and the orientation of the bar makes for some interesting human traffic, Phonox has our hearts for its unrivalled sound and its consistent, star-studded line-ups.
