The Four Aces Club was a pioneering music and recreational space on Dalston Lane in Dalston, London. Based in a building that had formerly been the North London Colosseum and Amphitheatre and then a cinema, in the 1960s and 1970s the club became one of the first venues to play black music in the United Kingdom. It was credited with playing a significant "role in the evolution of reggae into dance music, from ska, to rocksteady, to dub, to lovers, to dancehall and the evolution of jungle."[1] Many notable Afro-Caribbean musicians appeared at the Four Aces, which was often referred to as "the jewel in Dalston's crown".[2] As well as reggae and dub artists, its clientele over the years including stars such as Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder and Jimmy Cliff.[3]
In the early 1990s, it became home to the early indoor "rave scene" featuring acid house and hardcore under the name Club Labrynth, where The Prodigy made their first live public appearance. The club was closed down in 1997, when Hackney Council exercised the right to a compulsory re-possession of the premises.[3] Despite an active campaign to save the building it was demolished in 2007.[3][4][5] It made way for four residential tower blocks, in the new Dalston Square development, with the new Dalston Junction overground railway station aligning with urban regeneration plans for East London in the build-up to the 2012 Olympics.[6][7]
