The Model

A local for late night dancing

Featured Events

Our Ethos

The Model is an intimate underground music club built for the dance — a welcoming LGBTQI+ inclusive space where community comes first and the music is always the main character. We keep things minimal on the floor so the room stays focused: low light, close energy, and a crowd that’s here for the DJs.

Expect a carefully tuned in-house soundsystem designed for clarity and weight, from warm mids to proper low-end pressure. Our programming is multi-genre but firmly underground, spanning techno, trance, garage, bassline, jungle and beyond — with guest nights, takeovers, and regular resident-led sessions.

Whether you’re coming for a headline set or discovering someone new, The Model is a local for late-night dancing — respectful, intimate, and built for people who care about sound.

The Sound

Our in-house system — Paradise HiFi, is custom-built for the room — heavyweight but tight in the low end, with beautifully clear highs that stay smooth at volume. It’s exceptional for DJs to mix on: clean separation, confident monitoring, and that “locked-in” feeling where blends sit exactly where you want them.

From pounding rollers to crisp breakbeats, Paradise HiFi stays engaging across genres — giving techno and trance the weight they need, while keeping garage, bassline, jungle and breaks fast, detailed and alive. The rig is driven by two 18" subs paired with custom-designed mid/tops, tuned for punch, clarity and a proper dancefloor glow.

In the booth, we keep it pro: club-standard Pioneer CDJs, a flagship mixer, and Technics turntables on hand for vinyl sets. The setup is dialled for reliability and feel — everything DJs need to play their best, from precise cueing and tight EQ moves to long blends that stay locked all night.
