Inside the Foundry

Once a Colombian DJ named Dani Boom played an iconic set on two turntables from scratched second hand and 90s techno vinyl. The bar closed down on May 31, 2010,^[5] as the building's owner intended to redevelop the whole block to include a 350-room hotel. The Foundry's manager is said to be looking to move to another location, possibly nearby.^{[2][needs update]}
