Toot toot! Hot on the heels of an amazing party with space•lab, Patrick Russell, Vardae and Rizla, we’re fresh back into it!

For our next edition we will relocate to The Island and are delighted to welcome DJ Red to Bristol for the first time! 
As a longstanding resident at the legendary Goa Club in Rome and an essential figure in the growth of Italy’s techno sound over the last 20 years, Simona Calvani commands an unreal control of the dancefloor.

Directing the energy from meditative focus to hair raising twists & turns, Red possesses a unique skill in conducting between depth and directness. Having heard her Waking Life set from 2023 we’ve wanted to witness DJ Red’s all vinyl education on home soil for ages now so we’re gassed to host her indelible craft for our fifth outing.

Cool and deadly headwork, DJ Red will apply her technical prowess with an otherworldly ability to send it down the wormhole like no other!



Joining her we invite the unique style of LA native Negative Affect!
Negative Affect is the latest effort from Billy Garcia - founder of Counterpoint Records and a key figure in the LA underground for over a decade as the man behind DJ ANGELDU$T, suerte and the much loved 138..

Billy combines the coruscating motion of future facing Hood/ Axis jack with an undiluted view to push beyond any linear or stylistic constraints, defying listener’s expectations whilst perennially enforcing a sound which pure bangs lads.
Billy will be DJing for us in his inimitable style - expect relentless energy and a view to lead you firmly by the ears down some of the most leggy tunes this side of a car factory.



Your resident Probes will top & tail proceedings - warming in and boiling over for what promises to be a really special one for any adventurous travellers looking for a proper probing.

We hope you can join us
