Matterwas aLondonmusic venue and nightclub that opened in September 2008. A 2,600 capacity live music venue andnightclub,it was the second project for ownersCameron LeslieandKeith Reilly,founders of the London clubFabric.Matter was the third venue to open atThe O2in south-east London.
Opened after three years of planning, Matter housed several visual installations, a sound system of some 200 speakers and a version ofFabric's 'BodySonic' dance floor, the 'BodyKinetic' floor.
Matter's music policy was set by London promoter Will Harold. It featured three bimonthly residencies, Hospitality (Hospital Records), RAMatter (RAM Records) and FWD>>/Rinse (Rinse FM).
Architect William Russell, ofPentagram,was commissioned to design the venue with partner Angus Hyland, who was responsible for the branding.
In May 2010 the venue announced it would close for the summer[1]due to financial difficulties suffered as a consequence of continued delays with the TfL upgrade of the Jubilee Line.[2]
The venue formerly housing Matter became a nightclub called Proud2, which opened in March 2011.
The date it ceased to be Proud2 and became Building Six was around August 2013.
