A
gig
held at The Old Market Assembly
on Saturday 28th January. The event starts at 21:30pm.
We are proud to announce the launch of Midnight Ritual, Bristol first Tropical Bass focused night!
Since 2007, Latin America has seen an amazing surge of electronic music producers creating the wildest fusions of local folk with everything from dubstep, hip-hop, drum & bass and techno. Whilst the scene has remained largely underground, people such as Diplo, Major Lazer and MIA have helped internationalise some of the sounds from that region of the world, yet there are many artists and producers who remain unknown to UK audiences. Midnight Ritual will bring you international artists currently touring Europe as well as hosting local talent that is part of this scene. This will be Tropical Bass in Bristol Fashion, a new home for the most exciting global underground scene. As a reference to the Tropical Bass parties in Buenos Aires and Lima that started this movement, we’ll be creating an audio-visual experience at every event, merging senses with lights, projections and beautiful music to grind and fly to!
As the nocturnal dance begins, light up the candles, stoke up the fires and breathe in deep as you move, let the ritual spur you on and set you free!
