It is one of the most recognized electro music discos in France. Nearly 700 artists invited in 2019, but since March 13, the Nantes box no longer welcomes a public, so to get by the three partners have launched a call for donations for ten days. A follow-up call, with nearly 10,000 euros collected… This remains insufficient to pay the charges, including the rent which amounts to 55,000 euros for this building of more than 3,000 m2. Also, to stimulate donations, lives are broadcast on the Warehouse’s Facebook page and website… There are local DJ’s like Corentin MAB, Dan BONO, CHICHI or DJ FOU. Objective, restart the machine. Quentin Schneider, Warehouse partner, at the microphone of Cédric Mané:
“There was a strong spike at the beginning, we have a lot of relatives who told us ‘you don’t want us to give you?’ So today we put this in place with the support of those relatives. . “You hold out until when, at this rate there?” “We do not know, it depends on the aid which can be released, it has been ten months since we have been calling for help maybe we will be caught. in consideration more than it was, that is why we are fighting today and that we want to be heard, because we want to reopen “.
“We were at the bottom of the hole in December when we knew we weren’t going to open right away. It helps to restore motivation and continue to hope to relaunch this project with the artists. There is a lot. of videos and sharing .. we feel that our fans want to support the artists we invite. We had a lot of donations for the guests, it can pay for trips for some who come from a little further. It’s trying to support each other, it gives balm to the heart “.
The lives can be seen and heard from Thursday to Sunday at 8 p.m. on social networks and on the nightclub’s website: ware-house.fr... The Warehouse has also been mentioned as a possible Covid vaccination center, but for the moment the question has not been asked to the owners of the nightclub.
