The Fuel sound system has become infamous for its uncompromising approach to quality. It has been set up at parties and clubs, including the MaxxPower after-show party, where DJs Tim Westwood, Deekline, MJ Cole, Richie Don, Lawgiverz and the Ragga Twins played to thousands of Fuel fans. In January 2005, Fuel went indoors and installed a Funktion One sound system into the Medicine Bar, part of the popular Custard Factory development in Birmingham, with DP6is handling all system control and a DP324 SiDD putting the icing on the cake.
The venue opens every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with nights like Shaanti (Asian themed night) and Trigger packing in up to 2,000 people. American DJ Felix Da Housecat was the first big name to play on the rig. "He was completely blown away," says Warren. "The crowd reaction was massive, with people really getting off on a system that sounds so unique, pushing out the sounds to the limit! The Medicine Bar now uses the system as a great selling point for their club, with people coming specifically to hear music played as it should be."
