Decoyrocktopus: Focus on the tube
Located just off Park Street, The Tube is a fairly cosy club of about
200 capacity responsible for some of the best nights in Bristol,
regularly smashing it with a group of promoters who bring unfeasibly
big line ups to such a tiny club. Bafflingly, countless people I’ve met
avoid the place as a rule of thumb. In the interest of overturning this
strangely prevalent opinion, here’s a laundry list of what’s coming up.
First
up is shop-cum-clubnight Donuts, responsible for bringing some serious
fire to Bristol, grabbing an intimate set from Four Tet, as well as
sets from L Vis 1990, Joker, Jammer, Silkie, Ikonika, Jackmaster and
all manner of excellent dubstep, garage and UK funky. On December 11th
they have a ridiculously great line up with UK funky main man Roska and
the much hyped Jam City heading up proceedings.
For out and out
party music, Hype Society are doing silly things with a venue so small.
So far this term they’ve seen the likes of Tempa T (Next Hype), Drop
The Lime (Trouble & Bass) and Dexplicit (Pow (Forward Riddim)) take
the club to its limits. Bristol badman Gemmy is going throwing down a
set of his trademark warped and purple, future R&B infused dubstep
on the 10th December.
For some of the most forward thinking,
introspective bass music, the ever excellent Seasonfive heads up the
second Saturday of every month. Past nights have seen the likes of
Martyn, Peverelist and Ramadanman, as well as column favourites
Brackles and Untold. On 12th December they celebrate their second
birthday in style with a two hour set from Hotflush head honcho Scuba.
The label’s been around since dubstep’s inception, most recently
responsible for propelling the careers of Joy Orbison, Untold and Mount
Kimbie as well as releasing Scuba’s own startlingly deep two step.
