8 CLUB vs CLUB
Do you want to know where the hottest clubs are right now? Well, every month TGN are putting your favourite clubs together in a head to head battle to see which ones come out on top. This month it’s the super clubs, Proud 2 Vs Pulse.
@guestlistdotnet PROUD 2
32—37 Cowper Street, EC2A 4AP 020 7336 8898
www.proud2.com
DRINKS/PRICE 0 Only serving spirits, wine and champagne- Proud 2 doesn’t exactly cater for those who enjoy a beer and a cider. Also, drink prices are expensive but their range of cocktails are only £7 each. Cocktails it is!
EVENTS 1 Proud 2 has different guest DJs and big-name live acts every Friday and Saturday night. Past acts have included Mystery Jets, Chicane, Japanese Popstars, White Lies, The Horrors and Jazzy Jeff.
SAFETY 1 To prevent large crowds gather- ing and getting restless, Proud 2 has organised a shuttle bus service. From 8.45pm the ser- vice runs every five minutes from North Greenich tube station to Proud 2. At only £2 per ticket… problem solved!
Score: 4/5
VIBE 1 In order to cater for it’s Essex and Kent audience, Proud 2’s has created a completely extravagant and over-the-top experience. With large guilded lions, massive chandaliers, burlesque dancers and scantily- clad barmaids, it’s no surprise the designer, Danielle Proud orginally used Las Vegas as her inspiration.
VERSATILITY 1 Considering Proud 2 has such a massive club status, it’s surpris- ingly versatile. With a huge main stage, it manages to provide for DJ and live acts lovers alike.
SIZE MATTERS 0 Proud 2 is smaller than Pulse. To make up for it’s size, it is filled with bars, balconies, dance floors, a main stage and of course, bags of personality!
PULSE
36 Stoke Newington Road, Dalston, N16 7XJ 020 7354 9993

DRINKS/PRICE 1 Pulse London’s drink prices are considerably cheaper than Proud 2… nuf said!
EVENTS 1 Aiming to be compared to the Super Clubs of Ibiza, Pulse is stacked with five dance arenas, five bars, a Void sound system and an outdoor Eden Garden Club. Therefore it’s no surprise Pulse London kicked-off it’s launch night with Erick Morillo’s Voodoo Nights.
SAFETY 0 Pulse is a short walking distance from Southwark tube station, and has it’s own private taxi rank. There’s no doubt the taxi rank is a bonus, but that means crowds of drunken people waiting around, and that’s when things tend to get messy! Proud 2’s shuttle bus system wins this one.
Score: 3/5
VIBE 1 Compared to Proud 2, Pulse’s vibe can probably be described as less extravagant and more he- donistic. There’s no denying that Proud 2’s personality stands out, but Pulse is a sheer experience.
VERSATILITY 0 There’s no denying that Pulse London will fulfil the needs of hard-core clubbers, it’s main genre being underground House and Techno. Apart from this, it’s genres don’t stretch too a far afield.
SIZE MATTERS 1 With a capacity of 4,500, it’s one of the largest clubs to open in London for a long time, and has definitely earned it’s title as a Super Club. With all areas open the club stretches to a massive 100ft by 100ft.
Who’s been saying what online this month? We name, fame and shame celebs mouthing off in cyberspace. You are what
you tweet.
High Rankin - Not looking forwards to my first session with new personal trainer today. They say he used to work at Guantanamo :O Yeah it’s your new simplified programme from Fitness First, you run... he chases you... repeat!

Dub Phizix - oi lads, taking your top off in a rave is a proper woolyback manoeuvre Thank you!
It hardly seems fair to judge! It’s obvious from reviewing both clubs that they are catering for different audiences. It just depends what you’re into… go and check them out yourselves and see what you think!
