Smoove to celebrate
it's 3rd Birthday at The Ministry of Sound
Launched in November 2000 Smoove broke all Ministry
of Sound House music rules as it introduced an urban flava of UK
Garage, R&B, and Hip Hop never seen at the club before. As well
as going against all the rules, Smoove has gone against all the
doubts that some may have had for the night. Three years on and
Smoove is quite literally running the urban club scene; where other
nights have changed their music policy, given up on UK Garage or
simply seized to exist Smoove has continued to stay true to its
roots and is now stronger than ever before.
Every Friday night plays witness to a regular
and loyal crowd with new faces enticed every week; an R&B room
that quite literally goes off the scale; a UK Garage main room representing
the entire UK Garage journey from old skool and four to the floor
to the underground sound that dominates the streets today; a Baby
Box that encourages external promoters, new talent and alternative
urban genres to get involved; a VIP room that caters for industry
artists, A list celebrities and all Smoove guests and of course
a fantastic new look club following
Ministry of Sound’s recent refurbishment.
Also away from the Elephant & Castle venue, this year has seen
Smoove release its first album STREET BEATS, a UKG compilation mixed
by Slimzee and Femme Fatale as well as launching a Smoove UK Tour
that will see the club night proffer its urban expertise on a number
of the UK’s main cities.
