What's On Friday 23rd August — in Bristol
A complete list of live music and nightlife for Friday 23rd August.
From today's events
“Friday 23rd August - Contrand Breaks Ensemble - An excursion through the golden era hip hop and beyond, narrated by MC Troy Da Hybrid Brown fronting a hardcore trio of live groovers on a mission to whip up those catchy hip-hop beats.”
EDITOR'S PICK: DIALOGUE W/ AKUA
Rarely clocking in fewer than 140 BPMs, Discwoman's Brooklyn flagbearer Akua careers through spiny rave cuts and acidic speedball techno at an unfathomable pace, forging a dark psychic path through any dancefloor.
This is what homegrown Dialogue parties do best: bringing it hard n' heavy (think Machine woman, re:ni, SPFDJ) to stellar, inclusive crowds in intimate spaces. Watch the fireworks on Friday at fresh new DIY space Latch in Old Market.
