MUMBO JUMBO (HALLOWEEN PARTY): AUSTIN ATO (BONGO 25TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON)

Saturday 29 October
23:00-03:00 £10 // £8 concs

This event is part of Bongo’s 25th Anniversary Season.

AUSTIN ATO is a DJ and musician in Scotland who makes records for the underground and the big rooms. His profile has risen over the past two years after releasing on Phonica’s white-label imprint showcasing a blend of live keys, drums and exquisite sampling. His music comes in many forms: afro-house on Defected with “Oh Mama”, making some Detroit and Chicago influenced tunes for Classic to drum machine belters for Man Power’s label.

His DJ sets have led him to play many of the best parties in the UK like Percolate with Daphne and Floating Points. 2019 saw his first Asia tour and a performance at the amazing Defected Croatia lauded by label boss Simon Dunmore. His releases have cemented his bold and colourful sound with huge support from Honey Dijon, Artwork, Bonobo, Nightmares On Wax, Laurent Garnier and Glasgow’s own Sub Club resident Harri. He’s gained attention on Radio 1 plus several ‘Record Of The Months’ in Mixmag & DJ Mag and also has his own radio show in Edinburgh on EHFM.

One of the longest running club nights at Bongo, MUMBO JUMBO is a genuine stalwart of the programme, its experienced residents – Trendy Wendy & Steve Austin – setting the pace for over 12 years now with their own special formula.

Expect to hear a good-time mix, as Wendy and Steve mine underground hits and rare nuggets alongside upfront club shakers and future classics for a rich dance floor seam, exploring the many shades of disco and house.   This can be anything from edits of the classics to brand new originals, with Afro-Latin flavours and soulful elements, all accompanied by the energised Mairi B on percussion.  Add a cracking vocal or a slick rap or two and you’ve got dance floor dynamite – a proper party soundtrack.

Keeping things fresh, there’s also a young team of hotshots working things up to a frenzy on Level 2 (upstairs): GENKEM, featuring DJs Harry, Brodie, Josh, Zoe & Gilbert playing a mix of Garage, Techno, DnB, Grime, Dub & Rave.

Something for everyone, then.
