Origin has been closed for two weeks as a result of a well needed refurbishment. It is just over 2 years since it relocated to Windmill Brae and in that time it has been the only venue to bring you the true underground bass music sound to Aberdeen. The list of guest artists is too long to mention however it will continue in that vein. Forthcoming guests include Dillinja & Lynx in February but some exciting stuff in the pipeline. As for the refurb we will have a new dancefloor, the whole club has been painted, the soundsystem and lights tweaked, some extra seating, bar freshened up. The most exciting aspect will be the opening of a 2nd room in the near future. The weekend of the 27th/28th January is the relaunch, please pop down. Check the listings for more details.
