Bristol's Footwork Scene

While no producer would regard themselves creating ‘footwork’ alone, the influence of the footwork and trap sounds have had a healthy knock-on effect within bass music in Bristol. Local heavyweight Addison Groove throws down his banging electro 808’s in footwork patterns (live!) while Sam Binga combines orchestral stabs and MC collaborations into the footwork mix. Bristol’s Artifact takes a different approach sprinkling syncopated footwork patterns amongst pristine techno.

“Musically, the night moves with intention. Expect a multi genre journey that builds across the evening opening with piano house and breakbeat, shifting into hardcore, jungle and footwork, eventually moving into donk. As the night goes on, the energy pushes into harder styles and hard techno to close.”
