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.
