Bristol's Garage Scene

Garage music is experiencing a renaissance period in Bristol right now. The popularity of dubstep has given rise to a new breed of garage enthusiast keen to explore both the genre's roots and its modern incarnations.

UK funky has taken the mantle of garage and added grime elements and vocals to bring the sound up date and into today's electro-centric party landscape. Contemporary garage and UK funky often finds it's way into sets from alternative dubstep djs at Bristol dubstep nights like Apple Pips, Donuts and Crazy Legs.

Sell out warning! Few can claim to have bent dance music quite like A Guy Called Gerald; the architect behind Voodoo Ray and Black Secret Technology still sounds like tomorrow! Do ya homework if you haven’t already, before the Manchester mastermind locks in for a marathon all-day session, spiralling through acid house tekkers and rudeboy-funk to sci-fi jungle futurism and beyond. A Guy Called Gerald - All Day Long at Lost Horizon.

Sell out warning! 3 months seems a long time to wait for your borderless dose of Pangea, but the crew have been cooking. Yes, you’ll get your usual helping of gospel, jungle, bhangra and dancehall all running at utopia-inducing volume, PLUS a joyful live improv experiment, fusing Irish trad, Burkinabè griot and Malian donso music. Supercontinental club dreams made flesh, where else eh…. Pangea presents ~ Operation Joyful Behaviour at The Trinity Centre.

The celebrations continue with a triple threat of loose-limbed cosmic club goodies! Taking us through ‘til 4am: World Unknown’s Andy Blake serving up mind-altering trippy wrigglers, psychedelic chuggers and acid magick from Sameheads’ Alice Carrera + Dirtytalk’s own deep house weapon Tender T. We are truly spoilt, long live the Brew <3 Strange Brew turns 6 ft. Andy Blake, Alicia Carrera & Tender T at Strange Brew.

Still reeling from DJ Pierre, the ILA crew calls on the acid dub professor Om Unit to launch his 303 into outer space, live! Expect weightless bleep techno devoured by the mixing desk, with Night Slugs bossman L-VIS 1990, Meg Ward and Posthuman serving fucked-up braindance gear and diva euphoria for the microdot masses. Feel the squelch, BE THE SQUELCH! I LOVE ACID OM UNIT ACID DUB STUDIES / L-VIS 1990/MEG WARD/POSTHUMAN at Lost Horizon.
