April 2, 2015 No Comments George Hall

Neverland is the newest night to be introduced to the already huge variety of events held at Bournemouth’s Students Union, The Old Firestation. With ‘We Are Your Friends’ and ‘Enter Drumfunk’ already satisfying the musical tastes of House and Drum and Bass fans, it was interesting to see an event

The house duo have recently taken off, and have a lot of high profile gigs coming up this summer. They’ve produced a number of great remixes including ‘La La La’ by Naughty Boy, ‘Right Here’ by Rudimental and ‘Mozart’s House’ by Clean Bandit. The boys from Bristol are sometimes hard

With all the electronic music events we’ve been to lately it’s easy to forget that sometimes it’s nice to just take a step back, chill, and go to an actual gig. But nonetheless we found ourselves at Portsmouth’s Guildhall for yet another set by BBC Radio 1’s top lady. With

Jungle at The Pyramids, Portsmouth

February 23, 2015 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

We headed to see Jungle, one of the best and biggest up and coming bands of 2014. First up, though, were Clarence Clarity, a new and distinctive artist. He has hints of funk in his sound, and Clarity’s upcoming album is supposedly ‘funk warped and mangled, smothered in quixotic synths.’
