Its so good when a venue can be adaptable, and last week saw Bournemouth’s Halo nightclub play host to one of the world’s best drum & bass labels RAM Records. RAM have done incredibly well in the dnb scene with giants like Andy C, Sub Focus and Chase & Status

Cause & Affect at The Old Fire Station, Bournemouth

November 9, 2015 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

It seemed to be a week of bassline happening in the south, as just two nights earlier we caught Preditah in Portsmouth. Bournemouth event company Lunacy then delivered Preditah, Cause & Affect and DJ Q in one night. Probably the best bassline night lineup ever to visit Bournemouth, and it

Featured Review: Foreverland – The Raveyard

November 5, 2015 No Comments George Hall

Foreverland; once again all expectations were met and exceeded. This event basically writes the books on how to create, what can only be described as, ‘a fucking sick night’. Foreverland is such an influential event, I’m surprised it hast become a religion yet. On this particular service, 31st October 2015,

Featured Review: UFK & Bedlam at The O2 Academy, Bournemouth

November 5, 2015 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

Well, what can I see about UKF and Bedlam’s night in Bournemouth. The lineup pretty much spoke for itself; and the O2 Academy’s atmosphere was electric. It was incredible to go to a night of this energy, and each act highlighted the great things about drum & bass as a

Review: City Limits Presents Suddenly Funk with Horse Meat Disco

November 4, 2015 No Comments George Hall

Following the recent success of disco and funk nights in Bournemouth like Ben Pearce’s ‘Sextape Series’ at Eden and The Winchester’s semi regular funk night – we were not surprised to see an event at the Old Fire Station. It would seem the next logical step; bigger capacity, better sound

Shangri-La Cardiff Presents Jasper James, Cardiff

October 24, 2015 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

Jasper James set at Shangri-La, Cardiff was one truly unforgettable night. The event itself always upholds true rave values and the organisers do a truly fantastic job of turning one of Cardiff’s best nightclubs into one of the city’s best rave venues. With Jackmaster topping the bill you immediately knew
