Hobbes Music x Club Nacht (Monthly Saturdays)

Hobbes Music is a hyped Edinburgh record label (established 2013) with an international roster of artists and releases from across the electronic music spectrum: from house, techno, electro, UKG and bass to ambient, dub, IDM and experimental via disco, Balearic, soundtrack styles and more.

Hobbes Music has been staging irregular events at Bongo (and appearing at one or two other nights) since 2016, featuring label artists and friends: JD Twitch (Optimo), Auntie Flo, Tobias Schmidt (Tresor), Michelle Manetti, Nightwave, Red Rack’em, Jacksonville, Exterior, Gaming, Leonidas & Hobbes, George T, Maastricht Research, Nina Stanger, Andrew Ingram (Slabs Of The Tabernacle), The Three Lives and more.

Club Nacht is a monthly night at The Mash House championing contemporary and classic dance music of a similar persuasion (house, techno, electro, disco, UKG etc), featuring special guests such as Bradley Zero, Marcel Vogel, Optimo, A Guy Called Gerald, Space Dimension Controller, Todd Edwards, Trance Wax, Move D, Prins Thomas, Céleste, Anish Kumar and more.

HM and CN first came together in February ’23, presenting German duo Coeo (Toy Tonics) to a capacity crowd at Bongo, with another winner following in September, featuring Glasgow’s Austin Ato (see pix from both dates here).  Launching in January 2024, the two promoters join forces for a new monthly event at Bongo.  Watch this space…

INCOMING (Saturday 28.5): Acclaimed independent label Hobbes Music returns to Soulsville International - with bossman Hobbes alongside local talent The Nightlark (aka Giles Walker) - to celebrate the label’s latest vinyl release, Pay it Forward, from Tokyo's Kota Motomura.

Following hype for a string of releases from Bill Brewster and BBC 6 Music’s Tom Ravenscroft in particular, Pay it Forward continues HM’s theme of bringing well produced soulful dance records into the club. 💃🏾

Expect spring time heat from start to finish. 🌼

Deep soulful sounds / jazz / real disco / world-wide rhythms. 🌎

Early Bird Tix via RA (see bio) 🐥
“This Easter Saturday, we welcome back former resident DJ and globetrotter @evacrystaltips,” says Mumbo Jumbo’s @trendywendy_no1 

“She’s back for the week and can’t wait to play at her favourite club!! It’s Mumbo Jumbo with an Easter Egg on top!”

Alongside fellow resident Steve Austin, they’re accompanied by @mairipots (percussion, pots & pans) plus MC M.A.D (Groove Armada) and live musicians jamming. 

“It’s a good-time mix, exploring the many flavours of disco and house, from edits of funkier 70s disco to brand new releases, taking in Afro & Latin styles and usually a soulful vibe,” they say. 

“Add a cracking vocal or a slick rap and we’ve got dancefloor dynamite for a perfect party night.” 

ROOM 2: GENKEM (DJs Harry, Brodie, Josh & Zoe) play a mix of garage, techno, dnb, grime, dub & rave.

Beats is in cinemas today!
.
Having seen a preview last weekend, we wholeheartedly recommend you catch this excellent wee Scottish indie film ASAP.  If this weekend's box office reception is a success, then it should get a decent run.
.
Great script, by the original playwright Kieran Hurley and director Brian Welsh, plus some very fine acting, not least by the two leads. With all the tunes in it curated by Glasgow's legendary JD Twitch of Optimo (Espacio) and an original score by The Golden Filter, it sounds great, too!
.
Executive produced by Hollywood legend Steven Soderberg, no less.
.
"Beats Film 'IMO' is nothing short of brilliant. Character portrayal and acting is spot on, and unlike every other film about the rave era, they absolutely nailed it. Tense and almost dark in places, but highly recommended' Mark Archer (Altern 8, NEXU$ 21)
