What the press think about Hydroponic "Hydroponic is a textbook example of how to run an underground club." "Residents Michael McKeown & Watsi's way with the decks has ensured a loyal crowd that will happily venture to the edge of the city on a regular basis" Andrea McVeigh - The Guardian The Guardian Guide - No. 1 Club in the UK - Sept 2000 "Hydroponic are consistently up there in my list of top nights. They're not afraid to do things differently, which is a breath of fresh air in the city. The crowd are always up for a party, and that suits me down to the ground". Jonny Tiernan - Alternative Ulster - IPR Magazine Of The Year |

| Over the past five
years, Hydroponic has grown in both size and stature. With members of Asian
Dub Foundation, Primal Scream, and Death in Vegas almost resident at the
club, it's built up a reputation for bringing quality guests to Belfast,
but is just as good when local DJs are behind the decks. Add in the hedonistic
atmosphere, friendly punters, and its devil-may-care attitude, and you've
got a guaranteed good night out! Donna Legge - Presenter - BBC 2 ATL TV / Radio Ulster - Across The Line "The cool thing about Hydroponic is that there's always a really nice vibe…but not in a contrived or wanky way. " "It feels like a dirty big house party that just happens to be in a venue with a bar and a big sound system. " "Everyone's having fun, and you can tell the DJ's are enjoying it as much as the punters. They have a licence to be experimental and throw a few curve balls." " There's always a good balance between credibility and just outright fun." David O'Reilly - Presenter - BBC 2 ATL TV / Radio Ulster - Across The Line If you're one of the very few people in Belfast who hasn't yet become a Hydroponic addict - get down and see what you're missing." Kirsten McAlpine - The Big List "Hydroponic, playing host to the likes of Asian Dub Foundation, the Dub Pistols, Death in Vegas and Howard Marks, is regarded as one of Belfast's best underground clubs" Stephen Breen - Belfast Community Telegraph " For the most eclectic breaks & beats, there's few better places to go than Hydroponic" Kirsten McAlpine - The Big List "The Bedlam VS Hydroponic nights bring together two of the most popular underground nights in Belfast." "Six DJ's square off, mixing, cutting and scratching over four decks, putting the spotlight on local talent and providing a unique mix of dub, hip hop, breaks, electro, deep house and techno" Gavin Bell - Editor - The Big List "The last Hydroponic night featured a mind blowing set from the Lo Fidelity Allstars, alongside the Hydroponic residents." "The crew took the Front Page by storm with a richly diverse set of electro breaks, up front house, underground jungle, even Stevie Wonder was thrown into the mix." Stephen Breen - Belfast Community Telegraph "Sweaty, oafish types rubbing shoulders with imperious club godesses and their cohorts." "A top night out - watch Hydroponic - they've brought the goods so far and I don't see that changing" Gavin Bell - Editor - The Big List |

"The
Hydroponic crew kicked off 2001 in blistering style - a capacity Front Page
witnessing the fiery turntable skills of Asian Dub Foundation, backed by the unstoppable rhymes of their live MC's" Kirsten McAlpine - The Big List " A brimful of dub and funk" Joanne McCauley - Belfast Community Telegraph "Appearing live onstage will be Astromech, without doubt the hottest live electronic act on the Northern Irish circuit. I've been waiting to hear them for ages, and it comes as no surprise that it's Hydroponic who are providing the opportunity." Gavin Bell - Editor - The Big List |
