"Snaking, squirming, bass-heavy percussive clubworms crawling through the shuddering walls of the Island. It’s the first of many Side Eye extravaganzas from 1020/Longthrow/Mickey Zoggs mistress Sadsugar - hosting Golden Pudel resident Acidfunky for her funky acid, broken beat, 140, electro, no-limits Bristol debut."

A night of initiations, our launch event takes us into the belly of The Island.
ACIDFINKY:
Berlin's own head honcho of Twisting Knobs Records and inclusive DJ collective BLVSH, with a string of HÖR appearances so diverse they're impossible to categorise or compare. Epitomised by her slick productions; Acidfinky's impeccable ear, innate energy barometer and skills behind the buttons make them a serious force to be reckoned with. Massively influenced by the Bristol sound, Side Eye is proud to present Alissa's debut in our fine city.
SADSUGAR:
Side Eye High Priestess and lover of all that rumbles and chugs, sadsugar on home turf guarantees a full expansive dive into a repertoire of deep, percussive cuts - with a few twists of lemon to taste.
CARBON RHOD:
You mean, you'll actually get to see the Carbon Rhod? Noods and Longthrow favourite, Fergus is best known for his impeccable range. Pacing up to whiplash breaks via tranced and trippy drumscapes and more niche vocal chops than you can shake a stick of uranium at.
TEHMEENA:
Blue haired bombshell, ec2a icon and another Noods staple; Tehmeena's infectious energy resonates through her selections.
