“Hot off the wheels from our crazy first birthday celebrations, we’re back at Bongo for another round!” say the Candy Flip crew.  “This time we’ll be delving deep into the history and evolution of one of the UK’s most recognisable sounds, one that’s been at the forefront of the rave and sound system scenes since it’s origin in the early 90’s… CandyFlip presents: New School vs Old School Jungle.  From wild, energetic breakbeat and sharp percussions to soulful and bliss reggae vocals, we’ll be exploring the unique elements and structures of Jungle and how it’s evolved through the years, whilst maintaining its staple sound. For this night we’ve invited along some of the city’s most well versed in Jungle music, so expect a true and in-depth journey through the timelines.”  LINE UP: Burdy JI_2001 Amhailt.xox Bengalist.  RA TICKETS
