Drummed and Bassed (Column)
free entry to anyone who comes dressed as Tarzan
| 13 Oct 2006
In Edinburgh, look out for a special charity event at Studio 24 (Oct 13, 10pm-3am, £7) named Construct, that will include DJs across the dnb board from Xplicit, Manga, Obscene, Red Alert, Edinburgh:Bassed, Rogue State and Symbiosis. The money raised will be going towards Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres and the Meningitis Trust, so that you can make a difference while you're partying. Tickets are available from Ripping Records, Underground Solushn and Fopp. For something a bit more junglistic there's Tarzan (Jaw of the Jungle) taking over Club Ego on the 7th (10.30pm-3am, £4) for an evening of hard D&B and 'soul destroying noise' from local headz Budan, FuK-NuT, Tekamine and more – free entry to anyone who comes dressed as Tarzan, Jane or faithful monkey Cheetah. There's also two very special Splits this month (Cabaret Voltaire, 11pm-3am, free) on the 3rd with Shadowskillz and Edinburgh:Bassed, and the 10th with Epoc, Jordan V and Pyz. Staying with Cabaret Voltaire and looking to later in the month, we find Soul Biscuits Presents the Hip Hop Years (Oct 20, 11pm-3am, £5) – which, despite the title, will be grooving to dnb in the back room and MC Profisee, Nasty P, DJ Gino and Cunnie & Babes.
Glasgow is looking a bit light on the dnb front for October, however – since LiveVEvil has shut down it's been left to the weekly Scottish Drum and Bass Sessions (Liquid Lounge, Wednesday, 10.30pm-late, £2) to hold the fort for the scene. Near the end of the month the Subcity Radio Block Party (Oct 20, Glasgow School of Art, 10pm-3am, £5/7) will be playing a combination of D&B, electro, techno, house, and more from Boom Monk Ben, the Numbers Crew, Green Sofa, Leisure Allstars and more, but for rabid fans it may not have enough drum or bass to quench any deep rumbling thirsts.
