Urban Nerds Carnival Special @ 93 Feet East! Line-up TBC





Urban Nerds emerged as a new club night in March 2007, designed to combat what they perceived to be an increasingly stale Shoreditch scene. While the foundations of East London nightlife seemed well rooted in fashion and trend, the Urban Nerds decided it was time precedence was given to the sound and the DJ, and to creating good vibes; all at a healthy cost to the clubber.
The Nerds are sick of listening to ‘can’t-mix-won’t-mix DJs’ who sound like your first Now Tape Pack. What happened to the days of sourcing records, getting that exclusive plate and loving the needle? Urban music is more than a gap-filler and while grime and dubstep seemed to have infiltrated even the most minimal of electro sets, they believe this tendency to mish-mash everything and anything serves only one purpose: helping DJs to keep-up with the ‘cool,’ furthermore diluting the underground scene.
Since March 2007, Urban Nerds has provided a new home for genres spanning grime, dubstep, hip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass, reggae and beyond at Brick Lane’s 93 Feet East; now very much their spiritual home! They pride themselves on providing DJs who know their way around a needle and who love their sound. Anyone that’s been down to Urban Nerds will tell you the best thing going is the atmosphere, which is always full of the party spirit. A mixture of great punters and great music means that the so-called aggressive nature of underground genres such as grime is broken down to produce good vibes and a crazy, far from hostile crowd who love good music.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



LIVE GRAFF BATTLES @ URBAN NERDS HOSTED BY ONE TRICK PONY (OTP) CREW.

To get involved contact [email protected] OR Tek 13 @ http://www.myspace.com/onetrickponydesign


93 Feet East’s unusual space incorporates a courtyard that allows us to host live graff battles with some of the UK’s finest writers including residents, One Trick Pony or OTP crew. Originally from York, OTP have commissioned work for the likes of The World Music Awards, The MOBO Awards, HMV and design house, Boxfresh. They have recently produced the artwork for Lethal Bizzle’s latest album and worked for BBC Radio 1’s Tim Westwood, grime collective Roll Deep and London hip-hop staple, The Jump Off. We’ve begun to incorporate new crews and writers from across the UK.

At Urban Nerds we’ve found a new following through punters attending night after night specifically to watch the graffiti. Executed outside across 40ft of MDF board, it’s an impressive attraction that’s begun to draw people in off the street. In 2008 we’re planning to expand the graffiti to include more battles on a larger scale, something worth coming down for in itself! This is a vital part of the atmosphere at Urban Nerds.

Latest Battles: OTP VS RT OTP VS LEANPEOPLE (BRISTOL) OTP VS UGLY KIDS CLUB
