The Fridge was a nightclub in the Brixton area of South London, founded by Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington, who had run the Roxy during punk music's heyday in 1977. It was originally started in 1981, in a small club at 390 Brixton Lane, and in 1982 above Iceland in Brixton Road with a radical decor that included beat-up ice boxes and artificial dead cats hanging from its ceiling. Early guest DJs included Keith Barker-Main, later a lifestyle journalist and social commentator. It claims to have been the first British club to have such innovations as video screens and a chill out lounge. The Fridge was at the heart of the early 80s New Romantic movement, and booked such acts as Eurythmics and the Pet Shop Boys before they were well known and drew famous faces such as Boy George,Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Magenta Devine, as well as Marc Almond and Grace Jones, who also performed there.
In 1985, as a result of increased popularity, the club moved to its final location: a converted 1913 cinema (The Palladium Picture House) on the Town Hall Parade. The Fridge became famous for its Africa Centre nights, playing hip hop and funk hosted by UK group Soul II Soul. Since then it has hosted a variety of club nights most notably Daisy Chain (1987-1990) mostly dance music, trance and more recently mainly hard dance.

A strange feeling has come over me
A change of my mind and a change of my soul
Turning my back on the past I once knew
Sacrificing everything that I hold
Becoming something foul and obscene
Losing my will to do as I feel
I feel now that I've lost all that I love
Promises forgotten friendships left in the dust
A meeting years ago and far from my home
Now I try to remain true to your memory
Time goes by and years work their way on me
Memories dim as my body grows old
A life of wandering alone is what I have made
Too late now I have learned what I regret
My eyes see more than most,
Maybe I see more than I want to see
My ears hear more than most,
Maybe I hear more than I want to hear
My mouth says more than most,
Maybe I say more than I want to say
My heart feels more than most,
Maybe I feel more than I want to feel
Now I break free from the chains of my own self restraint
No more will I be bound by outside constrains
I found the source of strength within myself
