Big 'n' Bashy @ Bongo Club, 28 Aug

Welcome back Edinburgh Festival and the 5am chuck out! Edinburgh’s habitual 4 hour clubnights just ain’t long enough to do justice to reggae, grime, dubstep and jungle, despite the inseparability of the genres (to clarify, this is wholeheartedly a gripe in the direction of certain inflexible noise restriction policies rather than any promoters dutifully working within limited parameters all year round). Big 'n' Bashy’s decision to collaborate with Elektrikal promises a blessed expansion, as there are two guests to look forward to.

Hatcha, party animal, Kiss FM selecta and self-proclaimed ‘hatcher’ of prodigious talents Skream and Benga is occupying the main headline slot. He produced some of the earliest, now practically vintage, dark-garage dubstep sounds and is unsurprisingly in the position of possessing one of the deepest catalogues of party tunes and exclusive dubplates. Grime producer Swindle has worked with Chipmunk, Roll Deep, Mutya Buena, No Lay and many more, delving into soul, UK funky, hip hop and beyond for his idiosyncratic productions, of which the sexy and kooky Who Said Funk EP is a perfect example.
