Only a month left now until we close for our annual summer hiatus but lots to shout about in the mean time.
MIDNIGHT BASS: ONE FOR THE ROAD (THE FINAL MB AT BONGO) [TUES 10.6]
It’s been a mighty run – almost eight years now – but all good things come to an end and this is it for our weekly Tuesday night drum n bass shindig. They’ve birthed a new scene in Edinburgh (if not Scotland), championed a whole new generation of DJs and laid absolute waste to Wednesday mornings for the majority of Bongo’s tenure on Cowgate. We wish Midnight Bass all the best as it moves on to new pastures and new adventures (starting at Sneaky Pete’s in August). Tickets / more info
OVERGROUND x CLUB SPIT: CLUB ANGEL [FRI 13.6]
The Aussie sensation makes his Bongo debut for this collaborative event from the Overground and Club Spit crews. Expect him to showcase no shortage of the super-charged edits and remixes that have aided a rapidly rising profile down under. His recent Boiler Room in Sydney is particularly awe-inspiring. Ooft. Tickets / more info.
PULSE: PERC [SAT 14.6]
The irrepressible Perc returns to Bongo some three years after he last raised the roof here for Pulse. Expect non-stop bangers as he gears up his laptop, DJ controller and 3-4 channels of the mixer with a full tank of heat. Tickets/more info.
DISORDER: BLADERUNNER [FRI 20.6]
One third of the mighty Kings Of The Rollers crew and among the most respected producers in the scene, Jackson Bladerunner is something of an dnb legend. Expect no prisoners to be taken as he unleashes 140-160bpm fury via our Danley Labs. More info/tickets.
NSA DAY CULTURE 13: ZOMBIES IN MIAMI + GK MACHINE [4PM, 21.6]
All the way from Mexico, Zombies In Miami bring classic house, techno and electro DJ/production heat for their NSA (and Bongo) debut, backed by Glasgow’s wrong party head honcho, GK Machine. Proper. Tickets/more info.
CLUB_NACHT x HOBBES MUSIC: A NIGHT OF DISCO [11PM, 21.6]
Our resident monthly house party follow up the buzz of nights with special guests such as Kirollus, MiNNA and (most recently) Bradley Zero with ‘a night of disco’ for their Edinburgh Pride ’25 special. The line up reps some of the Edinburgh scene’s strongest selectors. Tickets/more info.
DISCO MAKOSSA: CRAIG SMITH (SOUTHPORT, 6TH BOROUGH PROJECT) [ 27.6]
Disco Makossa welcomes one of Edinburgh’s most stalwart old school DJs, on the scene since the late 80s and still going extremely strong via respected production work under the 6th Borough project alias and equally head-turning international tour dates. Tickets/more info
MESSENGER: AFRIKAN SIMBA & YA SAMUEL [SAT 28.6]
Still on the bounce from sizzling recent dances at Bongo and Porty Town Hall, Messenger host a last dance at Bongo with stalwart MC Afrikan Simba plus Ya Samuel. “Rock & Come In…” Tickets/more info
CHROMATIC: CASEMENT
Our resident UK bass champs, Chromatic, welcome back Glasgow’s Casement. Expect his USBs to be brimming with exclusive, high octane flips of well-kent hits and near misses, as he drops with everything from 70 to 160bpms. EHFM’s new resident bass specialist, Myrtle, also joins the bill. Tickets/more info
CANDYFLIP: PIRAPUS
Hot-to-trot New Zealand export Pirapus land for their Scottish headline debut at Bongo as part of their 2025 world tour. Expect back-to-back dnb fire, as they mash up the styles in their energetic, south Pacific way. Tickets/more info
OVERGROUND: BONGO SUMMER CLOSING RAVE [FRI 11.7]

EPIKA: MAEMM (BONGO SUMMER CLOSING NIGHT) [12.7]
Paris-based Maemm stops in at Bongo via the all-female EPiKA crew. “She masterfully shapes her sets with various atmospheres created by her hypnotic techno selections with sometimes psychedelic overtones. Drawing inspiration from ambient and more experimental genres, she used passion for exploring new sounds to enrich her musical universe and remain in constant musical evolution.” Tickets/more info
