With Halloween becoming almost as big as NYE (if not bigger?!), there are quite a few Halloween themed events happening at Bongo this season.
THURS 26TH OCT: UPLANDS ROAST w/CHARLIE P, WENDS, VIXEN SOUND, 527 SOUND SYSTEM (DJ SET)
The unofficial start to Halloween, as promoters Uplands Roast haven’t declared it remotely haunted but they HAVE got a SOLID line up in, as per previous sold out events (with Mungo’s HiFi and General Levy). Ace reggae vocalist Charlie P headlines this one, showcasing why he’s got one of the best toasting voices this side of Kingston with a bevy of extremely talents in support.
Electrikal comes correct once again with another Wall Of Bass happening, this time inviting floor-shaking local sound system aces Messenger to provide the PA (the first in a series of such guest PA style events from them) and some of the finest dnb players on the Scottish circuit. And, subtitled ‘DNB Halloween’, you can expect a more ghoulish playlist than usual.
Mumbo audience LOVES a Halloween party, as last year’s sold out event proved and this year shouldn’t be any different. Expect a slightly spooky, party-starting selection of disco and house from residents Trendy Wendy, Steve Austin and Mairi B (live percussion & warm-up). Upstairs YBZ Collective – DJs Texyo, Gilbo Zoe, William and Harry – deliver their mix of Garage, Techno, DnB, Grime, Dub & Rave.
MIDNIGHT BASS (BONGOWEEN ’23): LU.RE, ARFA, FEENA, SMIFF, MB DJs [SOLD OUT]
Midnight Bass’s ‘Bongoween’ party is now firmly entrenched as an annual tradition here and among the best nights out of the season and this year will be no different, as they welcome buzzing UKG newcomers Arfa (Brighter Days Family / Shall Not Fade) and Lu.Re (Kicks & Snares) to headline, with support from local champions Feena & Smiff (Postal / Red Room Sound).
NB This is now completely SOLD OUT. However, if you’ve missed out on the chance of bagging a ticket, you might get lucky via RA re-sale or with someone else flogging (an) extra ticket(s) at the door, due to an over-enthusiastic purchase, flaky pals dropping out etc…
Femmergy’s 2nd Birthday Bash doesn’t have an explicit Halloween theme but, knowing them, they’ll be making some ghostly moves on the night! LINE UP: Sweet Philly, CLO (2),
Groundskeeper Fanny, Annafleur, Katelate, Rianna, NANI, Matt.
Overground, on the other hand, are taking it all the way to the cemetery and back! “On Halloween Friday (3rd Nov), Bongo Club enters the Twilight Zone for Part 2 of Overground’s Halloween Spooktacular,” they say. “R2TG will see our (g)rave digger DJs trace back the evolution of rave music. An anthology of hardcore; from the cradle to the (g)rave. Expect ghoulish garage, haunting hardcore, devilish dubstep, bloodcurdling breaks, and gruesome grime. Electrifying eclecticism to raise the undead.”
We’re equally uncertain how much Tais-Toi’s guest will be digging into their Halloween playlist but we do know it’ll be banging! Don’t miss this if you could use a shot of fast-paced Hard Groove action to get your pulse racing….
