Beats Bubble with Barry Ashworth

Barry Ashworth (Dub Pistols)
Kid Fiesta

Dex Addicts (AV Set)
Designer Thugs
Banksmann
Skoobs
Mids
Luke Who?
Summer is finally upon us and to celebrate we’re throwing another mega Beats Bubble party at our favourite late night East London venue The Horse & Groom. Spread across two floors, we’ll be supplying your ears and dancing shoes with some of the finest house, electro, disco and electronic grooves & we are very pleased to be joined for this event by dance music icon Barry Ashworth!
The evolution of the Dub Pistols has been fascinating to watch since Barry Ashworth and Jason O’Bryan first bust out in 1996 as fully-formed party animals declaring ‘There’s Gonna Be A Riot’. While their live show continued to whip up unbridled mayhem and build a healthy worldwide following through relentless touring, the records took their own path, moving swiftly on from initial big beat whoopee into celebrations of two lifetimes of musical obsessions, the reggae-punk implications of the Dub Pistols moniker just the launch-pad.

Joining these two musical wizards is Jim Carey. Jim has a varied musical background of producing and performing classical, soundtrack and dance music.

Tactile with Ben UFO and BokBok
Line-up / Ben UFO, Bok Bok, Paddy Freeform, Tomas, Mirror Mirror
After a wicked party in May with Perempay and Lakuti (which we reckon may just have been our best one yet) we’re back at the Horse & Groom on 31st July. There’s no letting up as we welcome Hessle Audio boss and virtuoso selector, Ben UFO, and the man behind one of London’s most on-point nights and labels, Bok Bok, for a special two-hour back-to-back set.
We don’t need to say much about Hessle Audio ¬¬– with critically acclaimed releases from the likes of Ramadanman, Joe, Pangaea and Untold, it’s fair to say we’re big fans. Ben is also an incredible DJ and after playing one of the best sets we’ve had at Tactile in the dingy Satchmo’s basement last year (back when you could smoke in there!), moving from early Strictly Rhythm through 4×4 garage to white hot dubplates from the likes of Untold and the then-unsigned producer Joy Orbison, we had to get him back.
Another man who was at Satchmo’s that night (though on the other side of the booth) was Alex Bok Bok. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 12 months, Night Slugs have taken the capital by storm, throwing exemplary parties at The Egg and East Village and hosting a room at the FACT party at Cable last month. This year they also launched their own label, which so far has brought huge releases from Mosca, GIRL UNIT and Lil Silva. His DJing skills have taken Bok Bok around Europe and the US to rep the Night Slugs sound and earned him and L-Vis 1990 a regular slot on the mighty Rinse FM. We frankly cannot wait to see him and Mr UFO going back to back for a full two hours.
