Custom Made present Luke Unabomber + Bigger Bush +Royal Gala + Jinx in Dub + Lenny

Luke Unabomber (Electric Chair)
His sets cannot be characterised; house, disco, hip-hop, broken beat, latin, soul and techno thrown into the pot, and making the links between quality music with a rcih vain of funk and soul. As one half of The Unabombers, and a resident and promoter of the Electric Chair (one of the UK’s longest running club nights), Luke has been accorded cult status for this monthly night of madness and mayhem.

Biggabush (Rockers Hi-fi / The Big Chill)
A past master of genre blending, expect to hear gems of deep funk, quirky late 60s mindbending prog, acid house, afrobeat original and reborn, electronica, psychedelia, dub, rocksteady, bluebeat, insane cover versions, exotica, big bands, boogaloo, rockers, bangers and classics and as the man himself says: “everything but trance”.

Royal Gala (9 piece funk / ska band)
Royal Gala are a cocktail of Dub, Reggae, Funk, Soul and full on brass laden orchestral grooves.

Also on the night more DJs + bands + visual artists + comedy:
