The cold long dark nights might be open us but we have a sweltering night of music and dancing for early December and are VERY VERY excited and proud to be hosting the mercurial talents of the Beirut Groove Collective. Now entering its 13th year, BGC is a collective of vinyl DJs, crate diggers, music obsessives and artists. For over a decade, the BGC has thrown one of the SWANA (South West Asian North African) region’s most popular underground clubnights in Beirut, the BGC All-Nighter, which has built an international reputation for its distinctive sound and attracted some of the world's leading DJs, turntabalists, crate diggers and record collectors. At their parties, the BGC plays obscure and underground clubbing records from the ‘60s-‘80s from the Middle East, Africa and around the world, an eclectic mix of Lebanese ‘60s Garage and Beat, Bellydance Psych, Arabic Disco, Latin Tarab, Armenian estradayin, Ethiopian and Sudanese Jazz, Rare Soul and Funk, Psychedelia and much more. The BGC combines the DJ efforts (amongst others) of its co-founder Ernesto Chahoud, DJ, compiler, record collector and radio host (NTS, Do!! You!!!, Now-Again Records, BBE); music researcher, writer, DJ and radio host Natalie Shooter, (Radio Alhara, Do!! You!!!) 100% Gaurenteed this will sell out so be quick. £8 advance tickets or take the risk with £10 on the door doors open 10pm and dancing till 3am
