A clubnight held at Dare to Club on Saturday 26th March. The event starts at 23:00.
WORKS is a club night for 160bpm bass music. Footwork, juke, jungle, hardcore, and everything in between.
DJs:
Born and raised in the Bronx, DJ and Producer KUSH JONES has spent the last few years touring all around the US and Europe, and has held radio residencies on Rinse FM, and stateside stations such as The Lot, and Halfmoon BK. He is most known for being a major part of the LAX-based Juke Bounce Work crew, and for his self-released series of Bandcamp exclusive EPs: Strictly 4 MY CDJZs, with 40 volumes planned to drop. Whatever the tempo might be and whether its Footwork, House or Jersey Club, Kush Jones provides a fresh take on the various areas he choses to work in, with a genuine respect for the craft and history of dance music, and a strong ear for sounds both current and yet to come. We are excited to welcome him to Dare to Club with an extended 160 set for his Bristol debut.

K MEANS is a DJ and resident of Bristol's Noods Radio and popular club night Psychotherapy Sessions (or PTS). Taking her name from an algorithm that she used when writing a music recommendation system, k means has a soft spot for the darker and weirder facets of music. The Stockholm-born, London-based DJ, who got into electronic music through video games, forms one half of Avant Garbage with DJ ojo, whose show on Netil Radio explores the stranger margins of electronic music. Fresh off warming up for Helena Hauff at Trinity Centre, catch her b2b with Itoa bringing the 160 badness.

DJ JONCO, GOLDMAN & DJ LAZERGUN have been busy producing and promoting footwork, juke and jungle music in Bristol since they moved here back in 2019, which has seen support on Rinse, Noods and Subtle FM. As well as putting on club nights, their label WORKS Records has released music from footwork / juke legend Traxman, and has forthcoming releases from rising stars Sickarone, Polo Lilli and more. Rumour has it they have releases forthcoming on Trax Haven and Excess this year... but in the meantime you can check out some of their released music on the most recent Nu Kulture compilation.
