Former staff members of the renowned Birmingham club night Stoodi Bakers are behind the launch of a new weekly party called STOODIZ at the same Broad Street venue that once hosted the iconic original nights.
Yan Miruszenko is reviving the nightlife at 192 Broad Street with STOODIZ, introducing signature laser shows alongside former Stoodi Bakers DJs. The first event is scheduled for Saturday, 26 September, with weekly nights planned through to the end of the year.
Despite the venue and the involvement of past Stoodi Bakers personnel, the owners of the Stoodi Bakers brand have made it clear that STOODIZ is not a continuation or relaunch of the original club nights. Stoodi Bakers ceased operations in the mid-2000s, concluding its celebrated presence in Birmingham’s city centre nightlife.

Now operating as the Cyclone Club gentlemen’s bar, the venue at 192 Broad Street has been refurbished to resemble its 1990s appearance, aiming to evoke nostalgia for fans of the initial club nights. Yan Miruszenko confirmed that STOODIZ is an independent event and stressed that he holds no copyright over the Stoodi Bakers name.
To address public confusion, the official Stoodi Bakers social media account issued a detailed statement clarifying there is no involvement, endorsement, or connection between Stoodi Bakers and STOODIZ. They acknowledged that while former Stoodi Bakers DJs and staff may participate in STOODIZ, this does not signify any official relationship.
The statement emphasised the brand’s commitment to protecting the Stoodi Bakers name, reputation, and intellectual property rights, stressing that STOODIZ is a distinct, unrelated event.
STOODIZ will continue to host club nights every Saturday until the end of the year, offering a fresh take on the cherished Broad Street party scene while respecting the legacy of its predecessor.
