The Fridge was a nightclub in the Brixton area of South London, England, founded, in 1981, by Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington,[1] who had run the Roxy during punk music's heyday in 1977.

Key Information

History

[edit]

The Fridge started in 1981, in a small club at 390 Brixton Rd, and later, in 1982, above Iceland in Brixton Road with a radical decor that included beat-up ice boxes and artificial dead cats hanging from its ceiling. Early guest DJs included Keith Barker-Main, later a lifestyle journalist and social commentator. It claims to have been the first British club to have such innovations as video screens and a chill out lounge. The Fridge was at the heart of the early 80s New Romantic movement, and booked such acts as Eurythmics and the Pet Shop Boys before they were well known and drew famous faces such as Boy George,[4] Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Magenta Devine, as well as Marc Almond and Grace Jones, who also performed there. Although all the nights at The Fridge welcomed anyone, the Friday nights were aimed primarily at the straight community in contrast to Love Muscle on Saturday nights which was promoted as a gay night.

In 1984, as a result of its increased popularity, the owners of the club signed a lease on a converted 1913 cinema (The Palladium Picture House) formerly a roller-disco called the ACE on the Town Hall Parade.[5][6][7] After renovating the building, the new Fridge club opened on 7 June 1985. Joe Strummer from The Clash invested £5,000 in the new club. Andrew explains during an interview for 3:AM magazine, "what the club achieved since then -- its visuals laid the template for the rave scene, it's a look that's being copied across the world. There's been no recognition of course -- if a record is influential it's on vinyl for all to hear throughout history, but you can't really encapsulate a visual in the same way, people just take it for granted. Basically the look of modern-day clubs was started here in 1986."[7]

LATEX RECORDS, 1985, Yvette the Conqueror 1st single press release

In July 1985, Czezowski and Carrington launched their own Record Company, Latex Records, located at the Fridge. Yvette the Conqueror was the first artist signed to the label. The label's first release was a single by Yvette the Conqueror, titled "The Boys Were There",[8] produced by Iain 'Rudi' Williams (from the bands You You You and Big Bang).[9] Czezowski and Carrington also promoted many bands at the Fridge, one of which was the cult club-band You You You featuring club promoter Laurence Malice, Karen O'Connor and Iain 'Rudi' Williams. The band performed a sell-out concert at the Fridge on 27 March 1987, at which Czezowski had a huge white staircase built on the stage for the band to perform on.[10][11] The show was filmed for Japanese television. Since then it has hosted a variety of club nights most notably Soul II Soul (1988 - 1993) Daisy Chain (1987-1990) and Escape From Samsara (1995-2005).

Club nights

[edit]

Launched in September 1992 by Czezowski and Carrington, Love Muscle became one of the major gay club nights in London, running every Saturday night for almost a decade.[12]

The night was temporarily closed in 1998, but was soon brought back due to public demand. It never fully recovered however, and became increasingly infrequent during the period 2000–2002, then finally closed permanently in 2004.

Love Muscle returned to the Fridge on 31 December 2008 with the original promoter Andrew Czezowski with pyrotechnics and production effects.[13]

Other club nights included a residency from Soul II Soul, Escape From Samsara, and Return To The Source.

The Fridge Bar

[edit]

The Fridge Bar, located next-door to The Fridge, was typically used to host an afterparty on Saturday mornings, with DJs playing music to the small basement dancefloor.[14] A hand-stamp allowed paying punters to come and go freely, some choosing to spend part of the morning in the Peace Gardens park situated immediately opposite the venue.

Album releases

[edit]

An embodiment of The Fridge's most revered night Soul II Soul named "At the Africa Centre" for its original venue was released as a compilation album in 2003, mixed by Jazzie B

Escape from Samsara released a total of three unmixed compilation albums between 1996 and 1999. The group Zen Terrorists and solo artist SBL (Silicon Based Life) also both later released Live at Escape from Samsara albums. The second CD of the debut album by Lab 4 consisted of a live set recorded at Escape from Samsara at the Fridge, too.

Return to the Source released a number of compilation albums and a few singles on their label of the same name. Otherworld released a trance compilation entitled Dance, Trance & Magic Plants on the Transient label in 1997.

Closure

[edit]

The Fridge finally closed on 17 March 2010. The Love Muscle xx[15] website was online until 2014 and played loops of the club's memorable tracks, starting with Bob Sinclar's Save Our Souls.

The venue reopened in 2011 as Electric Brixton.[16] The venue is now owned by Electric Group.

The Fridge was a prominent nightclub in Brixton, South London, England, that operated from December 1981 until its closure on 17 March 2010. Founded by Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington—former operators of the Roxy club during the 1977 punk era—it began in a small venue at 390 Brixton Lane before relocating in 1982 above an Iceland supermarket and settling in 1985 at 101 Town Hall Parade in a former Edwardian Baroque cinema known as the Palladium. Pioneering innovations like video screens and a dedicated chill-out lounge, The Fridge quickly became a cornerstone of British club culture, especially as a hub for the scene where figures like were regulars. In the late and 1990s, it evolved to host influential events such as the nights, which helped launch the group's career, and the long-running gay club night Love Muscle, contributing significantly to London's queer nightlife history. The venue was celebrated for its diverse programming, including teen parties and wild weekly events that drew a multiracial crowd, fostering a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere amid Brixton's cultural landscape. The Fridge's decline began in 2009 when police discovered incidents of underage drinking at its teen events, threatening of its alcohol licence, prompting the cancellation of these lucrative events and leading to severe financial strain. Unable to recover from lost revenue and booking cancellations, the club declared and shut down in early 2010. The building reopened in September 2011 as Electric , a separate venue with no operational ties to The Fridge, continuing to host club nights but marking the end of the original establishment's legacy.

History

Founding and early years (1981–1984)

The Fridge nightclub was established in December 1981 by Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington, a couple with prior experience in London's music scene from managing the Roxy club during the punk explosion of 1977. The venue opened at 390 Brixton Lane in South London, a modest space that quickly became a focal point for emerging talent amid the post-punk transition. From its inception, The Fridge positioned itself as a hub for the burgeoning movement, characterized by flamboyant fashion, synthesizer-driven music, and a rejection of punk's austerity. It hosted early performances by key figures in the scene, including the on December 16, 1981, during their promotional tour for the album In the Garden, and the ' debut live appearance on September 24, 1984, where they performed over pre-recorded tapes. and were also associated with the venue through performances and attendance, contributing to its reputation as a launchpad for New Romantic icons. In 1982, the nightclub relocated to larger premises above an Iceland supermarket on Brixton Road to accommodate growing crowds, though it still operated on a small scale with limited capacity that presented logistical hurdles for events and crowds. These early years were marked by operational challenges typical of a startup venue in a post-riot Brixton neighborhood, including managing security and infrastructure in confined spaces, yet the club's innovative programming fostered rapid growth in popularity. This foundation set the stage for further expansion by 1985.

Relocation and golden age (1985–2000)

In 1985, The Fridge relocated to a permanent venue at 1 Parade, , transforming the former Picture House—a cinema that had opened on 20 1913—into a dedicated space. The move was supported by a £5,000 investment from of , enabling founders Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington to renovate the disused building after its closure as a cinema in 1981 and brief stints as a concert hall and roller-disco. The club officially reopened on 7 June 1985, marking a shift from its earlier temporary locations and establishing a stable base in Brixton's vibrant, multicultural district. The Edwardian-era structure, designed by architect Gilbert Booth in a Neo-Classical style with elements, underwent significant adaptations to suit nightclub operations, including the removal of original seating and the addition of dance floors and lighting systems while preserving much of the auditorium's tiered layout. These modifications increased the venue's capacity from the cinema's original 1,200 seats to approximately 1,700 patrons across multiple rooms, allowing for larger, more immersive events that blended live performances with club nights. This expansion positioned The Fridge as a key player in London's , drawing on the building's acoustics and spacious interior to host diverse programming. During the late 1980s and 1990s, The Fridge emerged as a hub for emerging electronic genres, including acid house in the late 1980s and precursors to jungle in the 1990s, attracting a broad spectrum of crowds from across London and beyond. The venue's reputation grew organically through word-of-mouth among music enthusiasts, supplemented by media coverage in outlets like The New York Times, which highlighted its role in the city's evolving dance scene. A pivotal event was the launch of the Daisy Chain night in 1987, a weekly Tuesday gathering that ran until 1990 and drew nearly 2,000 revelers for eclectic dance music, fostering an inclusive atmosphere amid the era's underground rave culture. This period of expansion occurred against Brixton's challenging economic and social backdrop, where high unemployment, de-industrialization, and lingering racial tensions from the 1981 riots shaped community dynamics. Nightclubs like The Fridge navigated these pressures by promoting mixed crowds and avoiding overt conflicts, contributing to a gradual diversification of Brixton's while contending with police scrutiny and local hostilities toward venues seen as flashpoints for unrest.

Final years and closure (2001–2010)

In the early , The Fridge faced mounting operational challenges amid a shifting landscape, including intensified competition from superclubs and newer venues, stricter licensing regulations, and escalating property costs driven by in . These pressures contributed to financial strain, as the venue struggled to maintain its attendance and revenue streams while navigating police scrutiny over events. By 2009, issues escalated when underage drinking was discovered at teen-oriented parties, leading to cancellations to protect the club's licence and resulting in substantial lost bookings. Efforts to revive interest included the one-off return of the popular Love Muscle club night on 31 December 2008, organized by original promoter Andrew Czezowski, featuring and production effects to recapture its energy. Despite such attempts, the continued to grapple with economic downturns and rising operational expenses, culminating in proceedings. Under the stewardship of co-owner Susan Carrington, who had been involved since the club's founding, The Fridge hosted its final event on 17 March 2010—a farewell party marking the end of nearly three decades of operation. The venue entered the following day due to loan defaults by the leaseholder, leaving the building vacant until its reopening in September 2011 as Electric Brixton under new management, with no affiliation to the original operators. This closure reflected wider transformations in London's nightlife, exacerbated by urban redevelopment and fiscal constraints.

Venue and facilities

Main auditorium

The main auditorium of The Fridge nightclub originated as the interior of the Palladium Picture House, a cinema constructed in 1913 on Town Hall Parade in Brixton, which operated under various names until its closure in March 1981. Following a period as the Brixton Ace music venue, the space was repaired after a fire and repurposed as a nightclub, reopening on 8 June 1985. This conversion preserved key architectural elements from its cinematic past, including the proscenium arch framing the stage area and the balcony overlooking the floor.

Multiple bars were integrated throughout the to facilitate service without disrupting flow, while the overall emphasized a multi-tiered structure with the balcony providing elevated vantage points. The venue's total licensed capacity reached 1,700 patrons across its primary spaces, with adaptations such as widened access routes and designated crowd management zones implemented to enhance and in line with licensing requirements. Sound systems were progressively upgraded, culminating in a 2009 installation of a J-Series setup for improved audio fidelity during performances.

It opened alongside the main club's relocation in and served as a secondary area for extended socializing.

The bar's primary usage centered on post-midnight wind-downs, especially after Saturday nights at the main club, where it hosted afterparties extending into Sunday mornings until 6 a.m. This setup allowed patrons to decompress in a less frenetic space following the main events' energy. It also accommodated occasional standalone programming, such as R&B, classics, and hip-hop sessions on weekends, or more subdued dub nights earlier in the week.
