Bed Bug presents Jack Beats

‘Traversing the boundaries of all things electronic’ is the adopted motto from the intriguingly named monthly night, Bedbug. Serendipitously or not, their next guest is a case in point in adopting this philosophy. Beats’ sound is imbued with elements spanning the electro spectrum: from fidget to bassline, the melange is nothing short of a winner for club nights in the capital.

This recipe for success is further enhanced by the idiosyncratic though not intrusive wobble (hello Rusko) of a Jack Beats production, a mysterious entity in itself, that almost insidiously sends students and weekend revellers alike into a full flown array of shape-showing or peripheral dance floor shuffle, respectively. Fidget for some might be a byword for dross; for some Fake Blood are musical paragons. Over the last few years as it happens, a number of Edinburgh’s midweek student nights have catered for the aforementioned scenesters to great avail. Not least is this a testament to fidget’s prolonged popularity but it serves to legitimise Mr Beats’ perennial Edinburgh jaunts, which never seem to disappoint.

Stoking the coals in the main room is first rate resident and exponent of the all-encompassing Bedbug sound, Jimmy Wallace, a set that’d be worth checking out on its own terms without the added Beats Factor. Enjoy.
