From the people behind the accessible, but raucous, Digbeth party hotspot of over 8 years, Mama Roux’s… Club Colette is located right next door, but promises something wildly different. Whilst Mama focuses on in-your-face entertainment and confetti drops, merging electronic and live music, Club Colette is there to strip it all back and go back to basics, putting the DJ, intimacy, and the sound quality – front and centre, and putting culture first. Something its founders have said has been stripped away from Digbeth in recent years.Located on one of Digbeth’s most well known nightlife streets, the new Lower Trinity Street club is split across two rooms. Its main space features a unique tiered design for elevated dancing, wrapped around the meaty DJ booth.Benjy Hill says: “Room 2 is the smallest in the city – something we’re proud of, in a converted, abandoned fried chicken shop. The two rooms are linked by a terrace under the iconic Victorian viaducts with plans for summer day parties from local and international brands.

In an era where venues and events seem to be growing bigger and bigger – and there’s of course a place for this, we’re focusing on getting the little details right and bringing the artists headlining these mega venues back directly in front of the types of crowds that helped them learn their craft with support from our residents. Whilst there will be some of the world’s most underground acts and brands gracing this intimate and sweaty space, there will be real emphasis on our residents that has lost its place in today’s rave. Our motive is clear: bring back what has been lost.”From March 1st, Saturday’s guests will be hand picked from a host of prolific international electronic DJs from the house and techno world whilst the Chicken Shop will help support many sub genres.

Friday’s programming is geared towards supporting up and coming artists from a broader range of genres, including Hip Hop, UK Garage, Amapiano and Liquid DNB.

Benjy says “It was always our long term ambition to get our hands on all five railway arches at the foot of Lower Trinity Street, and with the re-introduction of food in 2025, we are proud to be creating a real exciting cultural destination, there really is now something for everyone”.

Club Colette opens for a sneak preview of what’s to come on the 14th December for a daytime party with Italian brand After Caposile and Birmingham based CNTRL, featuring headline guests Kepler and Francesco Maddalena, playing alongside residents Lopaski, Mizo, Mark Birch, Alexander M, and HP3, Ning-Ning Li, Jon Morris and more in Chicken Shop.
