The R'n'B stars who have patronised Leicester Square's latest club over the past months reads like a who's who of the industry.

This week Radio 1's Trevor Nelson headlines tonight with support from Ronnie Herel and Dodge. The beats range from hip-hop to R'n'B.

Arrive early and dress to impress to circumnavigate the fashion police on the door before immersing in the constantly heaving dancefloor. If you like phat beats then you'll be hard pushed to find a better gig this Friday.
