The story so far…

I’m Chris (also known as Kreza) and I started Loud & Clear in 2023 after a trip to Lapland gave me the spark to try something different. I’ve been DJing, producing, clubbing, and running nights for over 20 years, but I wanted to create a space purely about the music, the sound, and the people.

I’ve been sober since 2018, and I feel more connected than ever to music, raving, and the community around it. Loud & Clear grew out of this, and it’s a chance to bring people together without alcohol getting in the way, just the underground dance music that I love on through big speakers with immersive visuals, in a safe and welcoming space.

Since that first night in November 2023, we’ve been building on that idea. As of September 2025, Loud & Clear has a new home at Unit 12 in Winchester. It’s a brilliant community-run venue that lets us keep entry free, and optionally donation-supported. If you want to help with the running costs, you can donate, but mostly we just want you there!

We’re now running every first Saturday of the month, with a lineup of local residents and guests covering drum & bass, jungle, house, techno, breaks, garage, and more. There’s an outdoor chillout space with heaters, and an alcohol-free bar with drinks and snacks so you can go hard on the dancefloor or kick back and catch up with friends.

Loud & Clear is for anyone who loves underground dance music and wants a night out that is welcoming & safe yet still goes hard on the music. All we ask is that you’re sober when you arrive and you stay that way during our events.

See you on the dancefloor!
