Cargo,
UK The
500-capacity Cargo is a new venue to the ever-growing
Shoreditch scene. Committed to quality sounds from lunchtime
until close - and music from around the globe every day of
the week - the only musical policy at Cargo is that there
isn't one. Dedicated
to importing an eclectic and open-minded programme of live
concerts and dynamic DJ sets, Cargo needed a sound system
that would do justice across the board of musical
styles. Marquee
Audio were approached to fulfil the bar's audio
requirements, and specified Turbosound throughout. With such
a versatile mix of styles on offer six flown
TQ-440
three-way loudspeakers matched with five THL-828
2 x 18" low frequency cabinets were specified to provide a
potent dance sound, while TCS-35
enclosures became an automatic solution to distribute the
playback sound around the central bar. There
will be live performances each day - ranging from
presentations by special international guests to showcase
gigs by local musicians. To this end a further three TCS-15M
and TCS-12M
floor monitors were supplied by Marquee. Venue
co-owner Chris Greenwood remarked: "Cargo fills a
much-needed hole in the London live music scene: a mid-size,
independently-owned venue in Shoreditch. We are ready to
unleash a wide-ranging programme of bands, DJs and label
nights, whose enthusiasm matches ours. London leads the way
in defining new musical styles; Cargo will showcase this
creativity and excitement in a quality environment, giving
equal consideration to artist, promoter and audience
alike." He
is confident that the Turbosound PA will inject a high level
of energy into every evening, as specially commissioned film
and live relays are projected throughout the
building. Conceptualised
by the team behind the 'Shoreditch Godfather', Cantaloupe
(winner of 1997 Time Out Best Bar Award), and music
promoters Bonanza (Bar Rumba, The Annexe, Cuba) the
experienced Cargo team pledges to deliver nothing but the
best.
