A clubnight held at The Crown on Thursday 4th April. The event starts at 22:00.
As a bottle-blonde Twink from Claire's accessories puts you under general anaesthetic, you sigh a breath of relief and look down at your double D's for the last time. Your vision fades as Twink digs through his box of medical supplies and pulls out a blunt scalpel, the universal tit removal gun and a compression binder from the Bristol Queer Mutual Aid Facebook group.
....
You wake up, weight off your chest, excited to live authentically and comfortably - Twink gives you some Bio Oil, an aftercare manual and a bag of medical grade Ketamine for the pain. You're ready for the post-top surgery rave at the Crown...
Join us inna the rave and make a tit of yourself to raise funds for top surgery for a Gender Non-Conforming creative. Featuring a specially curated line up of local Bristol DJ's spanning a range of genres, this won't be one to miss!
sadsugar:
Hailing from Pembs (Wales), now rooted in Bris (UK), Keeley is a maestro who isn’t really that fussed about genres or boundaries, and instead prioritizes rhythm and emotion over labels. They're a disciple of the arcane interplay between music and the body, crafting sets that induce captivating physical reactions.
Beyond the turntables, sadsugar is known for quietly working to create genuinely inclusive, caring spaces within electronic music in Bristol that don’t require associations, affiliations or a buy-in cost.
Benkins:
A Bristol-born and bred talentrising through the local dance music scene as a versatile,multi-genre DJ and producer with a burgeoning career.Having shared lineups with renowned underground heroes such as Sherelle, Grooverider, Oldboy, Borai, SilvaBumpa, and Nia Archives. Benkins is quickly making a name for himself within the Bristol and national scenes for his eclectic sets that traverse the entire rave spectrum. His mixes are a diverse musical palette, where straight-up floor fillers coexist harmoniously with cerebral left-field bangers. A single set could feature an array of genres, thatseamlessly weave between each other.
Xhelk:
Xhelk produces and performs music that makes you want to move. From flirty and fun to hard or hypnotic, from the futuristic to the old-school. They have been involved in the rave scene for over a decade, both as a DJ and a dancer. This love of dancing is entwined into the rhythmic compulsion of their compositions. A sound formed in underground psychedelic trance parties, developed in the queer techno clubs of London, and finessed in the multi-genre rave scene of Bristol. They traverse cosmic soundscapes across a spectrum of high energy dance music.
Murderess:
Murderess (Erin Russell) is a Bristol-based queer DJ embracing the trans serial-killer movie trope by killing it on the decks. Through an eclectic range of genres, including Jungle, Frenchcore, D'n'B, UKG, and Techno, this transfemme fatale hunts for her tastiest sounds to serve up with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
