See event details

A clubnight held at Basement 45 on Saturday 16th May. The event starts at 22:00.


♱ WELCOME BACK TO THE SECOND STOOPID EVENT ♱ Deep beneath the streets of the city, a force of terrible evil bides its time in the dark. Every three hundred and thirty three years - the demon stirs in its slumber, yearning to awaken. It dreams of breaking it's chains, to run amok, and feast on the souls of the residents of Bristol. Join Stoopid Events in helping to seal away the evil! With the right vibrations, energy, and dancing - we can sate the demon's hunger for another cycle, and save the city of Bristol. ===== ♱ ===== As per the demands of the ritual, every DJ this evening will be playing a back to back with the DJ before and after them on the line-up. Expect some weird and wonderful blends from our B2B line-up of underground heroes of sin and silly. -`♱´- ===== ♱ ===== MAIN ROOM LINE-UP: ALTERUM: Alterum is a London based DJ specialising in all things silly and fast. Their sets blend Donk with Happy Hardcore, Garage, Gabber and high BPM madness to create an experience of emotion, clownery and pure stupidity! Expect to sing along with some cringe classics and clubland to appease your silly little soul! As the founder of Mums Against Donk, they have brought non-serious partying to the forefront of London’s queer rave scene and creating safer spaces for neurodivergent and queer ravers as well as bringing together old school partiers with the new wave of rave! DJ CAN'T SAY NO: The People’s Princess of Hard Dance, DJ Can’t Say No has been enforcing playtime across the rave scene. Her serotonin-fuelled sets have been getting dance floors bouncing and smiles beaming across the UK events circuit, with repeat bookings at major festivals Glastonbury, Boomtown, Bangface, Balter and Shambala. Her passion for music, dance and good times is infectious while she is on the decks, with frequent genre-mashing and fast bpms which keep the crowd literally on their toes. Expect sing-a-long donks, hardcore, bounce, breaks and THE UNEXPECTED as this full time party clown raises the roof and your heart rate. The Venga bus isn’t coming, it’s here! SPICE RANGER: Spice Ranger, bringing 2000s nostalgia straight from your spiciest fever dreams into a sweaty basement near you. Expect the heat to rise from 140-200bpm and your feet to follow as the Ranger dances you over to the dark side - with Tek, Hardstyle and Speedbass bootlegs. Get ready to put a Donk on it! DJ BINBAG: Baby girl, baby Bin, baby Bag. DJ BinBag is a capri-sun fuelled ex emo who combines psytrance, donk, gabber and hardcore atrocities perfect to shake your tush to day or night. DJ BinBag has a USB so cursed you can feel the deadly vibes radiate through the venue upon her entry. HAUSWIFE: Welcome home! HausWife is a bass lovin' silly sexy chaos creator, serving all the queer femme vibes you need. Expect all gas, no breaks, unreasonable mashups, and above all else, tunes to get that booty movin'. Parental advisory recommended. ===== ♱ ===== ROOM TWO LINE-UP: MR SHINDIG: Mr Shindig is a cult hero of the underground — a free-party instigator whose name is whispered across muddy fields and in abandoned warehouses long before the generators fire up. Known for turning chaos into communion, his 4x4 minimal slappers and hard trance bangers always get the crowd bouncing. Expect outrageous bootlegs, twisted edits, cartoonish samples, and gloriously weird noises that shouldn’t work… yet absolutely do. It’s high energy, tongue-in-cheek, and unashamedly fun — a perfect reflection of the free-party spirit. RATLIN: Ratlin is a multi-genre DJ who has been carving a name for himself in the Bristol scene for the past 5 years, mixing everything & anything from 125-200bpm. With notable sets in at Boomtown, Balter, Slipshod Gathering & Kyber Drop, it's fair to say he’s come a long way from learning to mix in a shed in the heart of the Devonian countryside 5 years ago. With a keen ear for the music, a watchful eye on the crowd & a locker of golden oldies, fresh bangers & cheesy singalongs, this guy sure knows how to bring the energy with his wicked blends, tune selection & erratic Dad dancing. DJ SOUP: DJ Soup is known for cooking up the bounciest and silliest sets you will ever hear. Combining acid & hard bounce with electro, prog and minimal, his sets are guaranteed to get the club simmering! Expect quick beats, heavy basslines and even heavier 303’s.
