A clubnight held at Exchange on Friday 25th April. The event starts at 22:30.


LAYA/TALA Returns to Bristol, bringing technical heavyweight MJK and local legend ALYA L for an eclectic night of bass-heavy goodness.

MJK: This insanely skilled Rinse FM resident is known for his technical 4 deck mixes and slick productions, featuring collaborations with the likes of Skee Mask and Riko Dan. We're privileged to have him play for us, so this is not one to miss.

ALYA L: We couldn't pass up on the opportunity to have her play for us again. Her selections are second to none, earning her the reputation of one of the finest DJs in the Bristol scene.

Residents Mossambi and Vinda complete the lineup, ensuring a night of bassweight experimentation.

LAYA/TALA is a club night aiming to platform artists from underrepresented backgrounds within the more experimental dance music scene. Want to get involved? Send us a message on Instagram @layatalasounds :)
