A clubnight held at Dare to Club on Friday 2nd September. The event starts at 22:00.


Well well well… It’s been a while but we’re happy to announce that the BDC Empire is about to Donk Back at a madness filled event on Friday 2nd September at The Dare To Club in Bristol.

We’re back from our Covid space exploration and will be bringing those sweet donks to our Sovereign Nation. While we were cruising the Universe we’ve been scheming this mega event that will be bringing you everything you need to wash away the memories of the boring last two years of lock down.

Dare To Club is where we will be landing our Space X Rocket with 2 rooms of ear shaking bass and a terrace smoking area to get that space hydro burning.

With a STARWARS theme the best dressed will get 10 free tickets to the next Bristol Donk Collective event as well as a heap of other BDC related Prizes.

With DJs from all over the UK covering Drum & Bass, Bassline, Mutant Bass, NightCore, Booty Music, Jungle, Breakcore, Breaks and of course Donk we present to you:
