A
clubnight
held at Strange Brew
on Friday 5th May. The event starts at 22:30.
Our next trip to the Brew brings along two very special guests for long-awaited Bristol returns.
NIKS has an undeniable understanding of groove, dance floor synergy, and what it means to take you on a journey. This has landed her defining sets across UK and Europe, including Panorama Bar on numerous occasions, and has been seen going toe to toe with Roi Perez and Midland. She keeps herself doubly busy as the founder of Black Artist Database, putting on events celebrating black artists, as well as leading panels and discussions to further the conversation on diversity and representation.
Heléna Star’s infectious and bubbling character shines through in her DJ sets and radio shows. Taking influence from the raw energy of House and Techno’s roots, she’s been seen invited back by Kerri Chandler for both his KOKO shows. She showcases her radio prowess on her bi-monthly Foundation FM residency, which takes some of the best in the bizz in conversation. With GALA, Queens Yard Summer Party, Love International and Waterworks all on the horizon, no doubt Heléna knows how to light up the dancefloor.
Resident Anil will be warming things up, providing the perfect frequency to get the floor buzzing. With gigs at Love International, Waterworks and Queen's Yard Summer Party he's definitely one to look out for!
