Another week, another bulging B365 inbox so let's take a look at what's popping off round Bristol this week!


Make sure you lock in to Sub FM tonight between 10-12 to catch the latest show from Wedge, this week featuring Komonazmuk (pictured) and Koast too for good measure. These shows are always pure fire so don't sleep!



Italo Disco devil in disguise Antoni Maiovvi has dropped a sickening mix on the Cosmic Disco blog. Sounding like the corpse of John Carpenter being dragged through a hedge backwards for a timely appointment with The Wicker Man, Maiovvi is the future of music as we know it. If you have'nt already picked up his debut album Electro Muscle Cult, then we pity you. So don't miss this!

Tracklist:

• Micheal Garrison - The Black Hole
• Kano - Another Life
• Vitus Von Degen - The Firenze Incident
• Dharma - Plastic Doll
• Klapto - Mister Game
• Lovelock - Love Reaction
• Black Devil Disco Club - The Devil In Us
• Kraftwerk - Tour de France
• Trans X - Living On Video
• Antoni Maiovvi - Untitled Instrumental No. 4
• Claus V - Mystery Man
• Alan Braxe feat. Fred Falke - Rubicon
• Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - Maximum Black

Well it's certainly been an eventful past week or so here at B365 with all manner of name changes and re-designs to keep us busy. Thanks for bearing with us, as there's loads of great new content coming in the next few weeks to keep you entertained. We're only going to keep getting better!



Hip Hop juggernaut Sober & Dribbla have been hard at work bubbling up beats and bars in their lab to follow up last year's Freaks Speak Dark. The result is The Butchers Ball and it is a master class in pure concentrated banger technology - proving these boys mean business in a big, big way. We'll be bringing you a full interview with the lads very soon, as well as a full review of the new album. Hold tight!



Another week, another quality interview courtesy of Chris Highrise. This time its the turn of up and coming genius producer Guido ahead of his debut release on Punch Drunk. Know one thing - Guido is without doubt the future of Bristol's underground music scene and is at the forefront of the new, mutated sound that Bristol is twisting out of dubstep, grime and 8-bit. Get to know or sleep on him at your peril!

This coming weekend is traditionally a very busy one in clubland, and 2009 is looking to be very much the same, regardless of any recession. First up D&B crew Torque celebrate their first birthday on Friday, with Klute and Spectrasoul amongst the DJs hitting the Tube.



On Saturday, Chesters pays host to Road To Zion 2, with the mouth-watering prospect of local MC trailblazer Buggsy sharing set with Jammer. There's a lot of big local talent in support too so this is definitely 100% B365 approved.



One of the best nights in Bristol hits Take5 again for another sweatbox session of futureproof beats. Bruk is formulating a fearsome reputation as the party to attend, so if you're looking for an intimate and forward-thinking event this weekend, this is the one.




Big knees-up of the week goes to the JUMP UP BRISTOL event at Motion though, with a cross-section of the cream of Bristol's club promoters coming together to raise money for the TEMWA association. Big line up that is sure to do the business and all for a good cause too.

It's been some time now since Mary Anne Hobbes showcased the Bristol : Rise Up special back in December 2008, so BUG thought it was well worth putting up the full programme if you missed it. Put simply, this was a pivotal piece of programming which showed how far Bristol has come in terms of mutating the sound of Dubstep into something new and unique. A breath-taking display of sonic pyrotechnics from 12 of the city's best producers, it is an essential listen on many levels.

Something that's definitely exciting BUG this week is the long-awaited re-opening of Arc Bar, now to be called LAB (Live At Bristol). Arc was a pivotal venue in the initial success of many club nights and its eventual demise after a long decay was a sad sight to witness. Back in its glory days it held many great memories for BUG; the bizarre decor and mish-mash of personalities that the place attracted made it the location of many a truly odd (but fun) night's adventure. Despite many shortcomings including dodgy electrics and even dodgier pints, the knockabout charm of the venue helped carry its success for many years until the rot set in and mis-management and events leaving in their droves saw to it's closure.

The rumours of it's re-emergence have been touted for the best part of 2 years, and it's encouraging to know that the team who've finally succeeded in getting back on it's feet are some of the crew behind the original Clockwork. Word reaches us they've done a fair bit of work on the place, but haven't altered too much of the decor which made it such an unusual space. The opening party is this Friday and it's always a good day for BUG when another underground venue opens to showcase quality music in the city. More information on the nights due up there will be coming soon, so keep checking back this week.



Also on Friday the always excellent Teachings In Dub separates away from its highly successful partnership with Subloaded to take the foundation shaking bass to Trinity with the mighty Jah Shaka Sound System. Definitely going to be a sell-out so get there early!



The big event this weekend however has to be Dissident on Saturday, which is sure to be another ram-out session at The Black Swan. The line-up is massive, and the vibes in a Dissident rave are always outstanding.

Main Room - Drum & Bass

Calyx_Momentum
Doc Scott_31_Metalheadz
Cause 4 Concern_C4C_Hardware
Jubei_Coded Music_Shogun
Incite & Breach

Room 2 - Dub Step / Breaks

Tickets £7/£8 on the door.
Available from Rooted & Bristol Ticket Shop.

STUART WILKINSON - ROLLERCOASTER

BUG considers it a good day when Bristol living legend Stu Wilkinson drops a mix on you, as those days are few and far between. The Empathy and Digital promoter and all round top house DJ has sorted us out a right corker here, a perfect solution to the headaches of NYE with some beautiful shimmering house and techno to get your brain back to some sort of normality. Superb.
