Kinky Afro
Friday July 31st

Bass Clef live (Blank Tapes, Skull Disco)
Warm up by The Mungo’s Hi Fi
The Sub Club

Splintered and filthy bass from Mr Mafro and the Kinkdogg

July’s date is the penultimate Kinky Afro as we look to untie our dancing laces on the 10th Birthday in September.

Full info on the end of our era after July in which we have some serious summer dubbin' to be had first....

Friday the 31st brings us a rare honour (since our dates started clashing years ago) - as we welcome to our rumble the Mungo’s HiFi; brothers in bass.

Mungo’s HiFi:
Laying down a serious warm up of dub and dancehall Scotland’s premier lords of the low end will be the perfect warm up to Bass Clef. With massive reggae recordings on their Scotch Bonnet label as well as recently launched their new Scrubadub dubstep and digi-dub label they are the nation’s most ideal comrades to launch the second last Kinky Afro into her dancing revere.

Bass Clef:
Deploying trombone, percussion, whistles and even a Theremin, Bass Clef cleaves his own low frequency niche through live improvisation and a frenetic, captivating live show on a level with electronic performers as devastatingly talented as Jamie Lidell or Matthew Herbert.

His album ‘A Smile is Curve that never Straightens’ plumbed the deepest fathoms of hertz with a refreshing slant on analogue dance and the need NOT to use a computer.

Anyone who has seen Bass Clef before has probably bleated at you repeatedly. Come check it out.

11pm till 3am
£8 / £10
The Sub Club, 22 Jamiaca Street


The Last Afro will be on Friday September 25th... An evening of ultimate celebration of 10 years at the best club in the world. Full details in August.

not entirely necessary or practical since the subbie has a great sound system...

its a martin audio with body sonic dancefloor and the whole space has been engineered to its capacity really... the chief engineer has been working on it every 6 months adjusting and tweaking it with little speakers and extra cabs since they put it in after the fire... you wont find a better dance floor in the UK for clarity and focus.

though obviously the mungos system is run generally much louder and much more bass heavy...

the subclub soundsystem is probably the best you'll find for the size and shape of the place. the mungo's rig in there would sure just be an inconvenience!
