clubnight
on Friday 17th February. The event starts at 22:00.
We are back once more to bring you some of the best breaks the UK and south of Spain has to offer, and this time we are hitting up one of Bristols newest venues in the centre of the city. Join us for our first party of 2023 and kick off the year in style!
✶ GUAU ✶ (SPAIN)
(83 / Close Your Eyes) https://www.beatport.com/artist/guau/117449
Guau is easily one of the most internationally successful Spanish breaks producers on the scene currently, one look at Beatport shows his consistent top spots in the charts, so far having achieved 14 top number 1 spot releases including 4 simultaenous double number 1 positions in the UKG and breaks charts. He has collaborated with artists such as Krafty Kuts, Stanton Warriors, The Freestylers, Meat Katie, Future Funk Squad, Lee Combs, and is the founder of one of the most internationally successful breakbeat labels which continues to completely and utterly dominate the breaks charts, 83 label. Having recently completed his tour of the USA, we are super happy to invite him along to Bristol to party with us.
✶ TRIBE STEPPAZ ✶ (UK)
(Soundsystem Bassrock) https://www.beatport.com/artist/tribe-steppaz/116074
A true Bristolian, Tribe Steppaz originally managed the famous Replay record store with his diverse music taste catapulting him into playing at raves such as Universe, Helter Skelter, Dream Scape and Fantazia. A meeting with Liam Howlet then led to becoming the tour DJ for The Prodigy during the Experience years, as well as becoming a key member of Ninja Tune's Up Bustle & Out. Since the birth of the Tribe Steppaz alter ego, signings from labels like Formation Records, Kool FMs Kevlar Beats, Playside 175, and the almighty Soundsystem Bassrock demonstrate the authenticity of the Tribe Steppaz sound.
✶ KWERK ✶ (UK)
(Diesel Recordings) https://www.beatport.com/artist/kwerk/181687
Host of the Kwerkshop Radio Show, Kwerk is a self-confessed late comer to the world of music production, but easily one of the most talented and underrated breaks artist in the UK today. Having owned turntables since around 1999, Kwerk finally burst onto the production scene in 2011 with the release of his debut EP; "The Kwerk EP". Since then, he has been nominated "best breakthrough act" at Breakspoll, worked with legends such as Specimen A, Vandal and Rebel Sketchy, released on multiple labels and gained respect from many-a-high-profile DJ and producer from around the globe. The last few months have seen Kwerk release his first artist album titled "Do Your Own Thing", a testament to the quality of Kwerks productions and style of breaks.
✶ DEALO BROWN ✶ (UK) soundcloud.com/dealo-brown-1
Here for his debut set with us at Southside Breaks, Bristol based DJ producer Dealo Brown has been on the breaks scene for several years and has racked up many appearances on stations such as NSB and 212 radio. Having performed sets at events such as Hotcakes supporting the likes Krafty Kuts, Deekline and JFB, as well as a nomination for the 2015 Spanish Breakspoll awards, we are super excited to hear what he brings to his set on the night.
