What is RaveTrent?

RaveTrent is a society of Nottingham Trent University dedicated to dance music, DJ’ing and the many other contributing factors that make up rave culture.

The society’s aims involve providing an alternative to the mainstream of student nightlife in Nottingham, achieving this by putting on their own event at a local venue, Igloo Nightclub. The music policy is varied but all styles of Drum & Bass and Jungle plus a good serving of Dubstep is regular. But with variation in mind, we listen to what our members want and respond to keep our nights fresh. We will also provide a trip out of town to a large scale event or festival in the second term and put on socials at local venue, The Golden Fleece.

RaveTrent also acts as a link between the students at NTU and the local party scene. Actively recognised among many local promoters and venues, RaveTrent aims to deliver benefits to its membership through further involving them with other nights and gaining discounted entry to events where possible. It also creates a platform from which it can promote its performing members ie. DJ’s or MC’s, to aid them in securing gigs.

So whether you’re a dance music enthusiast or simply someone looking to expand their social group in one of the most diverse and lively nightlife scenes about, join us and RaveTrent!

RaveTrent last year…

During the 07 / 08 academic year, the society put on 11 club nights at its venue Igloo Nightclub, booking big name DJ’s as Nicky Blackmarket, Hazard, Brockie & The Ragga Twins and DJ Heist, aswell as showcasing DJ’s and MC’s from the society. Some previous event flyers can be seen at the bottom of this page.

NOTE: RaveTrent members received £2 off door tax last year to society nights in exchange for their £5 membership fee. Take the opportunity to sign up and save yourself some of your hard earned student loan!

The Club

Igloo Nightclub is located in the city centre, a short walk from the unfortunately popular Oceana (we kidd!). Igloo boasts an immense… of sound, intelligent Dmx lighting, strobes, lasers, visuals and décor. Alongside student drink prices and friendly doorstaff, Igloo is the ideal venue for the society to hold its events.

Club nights are monthly on a Wednesday and will begin in the second week of each term.

Socials @ The Golden Fleece

Operated by Detonate, Nottingham’s leading Drum & Bass and Dubstep promoter, The Golden Fleece will be host to RaveTrent socials throughout 08/09. Tuesday night drinks will be accompanied by open decks on a first come first served basis, and RaveTrent members will have the opportunity to grab cheap Detonate tickets from behind the bar.

Take the opportunity to come and meet other society members, make new friends and get yourself involved in the complex social circles that exist within our society.
