Are there enough enbies in Bristol to fill a nightclub? Let’s find out. NONBINARAVE is a gender fluid, genre fluid celebration of identities beyond the binary, for gender punks to find kinship dancing outside the boxes together. A night where we tear down the cistem and build our own world. A world where our bodies are our own, and we make the rules of how we want to move. Where we’re free from the social construct, and not confined by the limits of the patriarchy’s imagination. When we feel like our gender is being policed, that can show up as stuckness in our movements. Dancing is our way of standing up for our right to live in our bodies as we choose. To connect to our self expression in a world that constantly denies us. Dancing is political: it’s resistance, it’s freedom. Your joy is important. Let’s dance. NONBINARAVE is created and held by Coren, Bristol’s orangest enby, DJ, and hype man. It’s for people who identify as non-binary, trans+, genderfluid, agender, intersex, two spirit and gender nonconforming. Gender questioners, you’re welcome here too, feel free to leave your assigned gender at the door and see what the alternative feels like. MUSIC: Gender fluid. Genre fluid. Expect house, bass, breakbeat, tech house, garage, reggaeton, and more. TIMINGS: This is a rave that doesn’t leave you rinsed.

They fuse playful, groovy and euphoric sounds from funky, afro and tech house, bass, breakbeat, garage, nu-disco and more. LEXX https://www.instagram.com/a_lexx_a_/ LEXX whips the finest cross-genre music into sets that sweat and reset.
