The dance music community was rocked on 8 August, as news from London confirmed that the iconic Studio 338 had been destroyed, when a huge blaze ripped through the building, the tragedy was compounded the following day when 338 worker, Tomas Ceidukas, succumbed to injuries he sustained while trying to rescue others from the blaze.
Not to be deterred, the guys at studio 338 have decided not to pack up and go home, but to pick themselves up and get 338 back to where it belongs. To do this they have set up a kickstarter campaign, with the aim of raising £100.000 over the next 60 days, to restore the terrace/atrium which managed to avoid the worst of the damage.
The club are offering different packages for donors based on how much they can pledge. A donation of £5 or more will see you name immortalised on the ‘family wall’, a permanent installation at the entrance of the venue. £30 or more will see your name on the wall plus a ticket to the reopening party and free entry to the annual ‘family party’. £40 or more is the same as the previous pledge, but with exclusive balcony access. And finally, a pledge of £150 or more will have your name adorned on the wall, plus free access to all parties for an incredible one calendar year after reopening.
For more information follow the #letsbuildittogether338 and get pledging on kickstarter to help Studio 338 be the phoenix that rises from the ashes in January 2017.
