Dear friends and neighbours,

In a year that has seen the devastating closure of many grassroots music spaces, we are excited to share details of The Ton of Brix, our new project at 414 Coldharbour Lane. This sees the reopening of the site of the legendary Club 414.

The Ton of Brix is a collaboration between Brixton Jamm and electronic music promoters, Percolate. The bonds with Brixton’s rich musical heritage are at the heart of this venture - Brixton Jamm has been welcoming local clubbers for over two decades. Meanwhile, seven years ago Percolate came into its own at Simulacra Studios just off Coldharbour Lane and has since gone on to put on parties around the UK and beyond.

This collaboration seeks to create an intimate space designed for music lovers by music lovers. We want to support and develop local artists and crews, pay homage to veterans of the London scene, alongside some eye-catching acts.

As a nightclub and gig venue, we plan to showcase a wide variety of dance music, with a particular focus on music with its roots in London. We plan to put on some of the freshest local live talents on weekdays - often with their debut show at a ticketed venue. We will also host Open Decks evenings to give new local DJs the opportunity to showcase their skills.

Across the bar, we plan to support local small independent brewers and producers to offer a wide range of locally-sourced drinks and make the most of the brilliant talent that has developed in South London. To support local freelancers, we want to create a daytime space to work, network and foster entrepreneurship. We also want to use the space to host free cultural and industry events, talks and panels to help spread positive ideas.

We will have offers for discounted food and drinks periods based for people living in Brixton postcodes SW2, SW9, SE5 and SE24. There will be free entry to local hospitality workers on the door after their shifts and discounts on the bar.

With all this in mind, we will be carrying out work to create a safe space that provides a platform to deliver on these aspirations whilst re-establishing this essential late-night space in the heart of Brixton. These are minor alterations and will not see an expansion of the building.

Most importantly, we appreciate the heritage of the space we are taking on and understand its importance. To that end, we are looking to open up conversations with interested parties - we would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions.

Please get in touch with conversations@thetonofbrix.co.uk to let us know if you’d like to schedule a time to chat with our team.

Best regards,

The Ton of Brix
