The New Monkey

United Kingdom

The New Monkey was a nightclub in Sunderland, England, open between 1999 and 2006. The club received nationwide notoriety, especially in the North East of England and Scotland, becoming synonymous with Makina, a fast-paced hard style of techno music with live vocals unique to the region (known as MCing). Following long-standing disputes with local residents due to drug use and antisocial behavior, the club was eventually closed down following a police raid leading to prosecution of the club owners.
