Swing & Bass x Continental Drifts: Summer Shindig

Swing & Bass returns to The Hootananny Brixton for another collab night with event extraordinaires Continental Drifts, the team behind the music on Glastonbury’s Shangri-La Truth Stage, Bestival’s Caravanserai & Club Dada, Boomtown’s Ballroom, Shambala’s Madame Bayou and so much more! Come and join us for a special night of Swing, Brass, Funk & Bass in a 600 capacity venue with bespoke decor & light show. For our Summer Shindig we’re excited to welcome The After Hours for a round of their boundary pushing 22nd Century Electro Swing, plus support from the almighty Hyde Park Brass & DJs Fizzy Gillespie, Dan de’Lion & Ali Baba. Step inside and see where Bowler Hats meet Bass and Lindy Hop meets Booty Pop! __________________________________________________ LINEUP: The After Hours: Live Electro-Swing Band The After Hours are a 21st Century anomaly; they are a Leeds based collective, hell bent on pushing Electro Swing to its limits, from House to Hip-Hop via Breakbeat and Bassline, this is Swing music twisted on its head in the best way possible! Established in 2012 as one of the UK’s first Electro Swing outfits and together they have smashed countless stages at festivals and nights across the country. The band has grown beyond the constraints of any one genre and have perfected a blend of Swing, Brass & Bass to a devastating effect! youtube.com/watch?v=NERo6j2zbyc youtube.com/watch?v=1ShXU-sTfb4 Hyde Park Brass We’re so excited to welcome Hyde Park Brass to Swing & Bass for a jump up and down brass fuelled boogie! New Orleans Jazz, Hip-Hop and just about every other genre you can think of - BRASSIFIED! youtube.com/watch?v=uquP0bUQPVg The After Hours Quintet - Roaring 20's Jazz Not only will The After Hours collective be providing us with a phat dose Electro Swingin’ goodness, but they’ll also be opening the night as a quintet, playing a set of traditional Swing, Roaring 20’s Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, and perhaps with a hint of R&B and Pop! youtube.com/watch?v=POWo8cbTjzQ Fizzy Gillespie B2B Dan de'Lion featuring DJ QuestionMark + Urban Unicorns UK After a well received impromptu B2B session last time at Swing & Bass, we thought that it would be rude not to have it happen all over again! These two have had people jumping with their Fun & Bass antics at festivals and nights all over the country; and together they’ll be playing a mix of Swing, Funk, Brass, Reggae (and much more) mashed up with Drum’n’Bass & Jungle. Expect nothing less than fast paced fun beats that will have you smiling, singing and dancing the night away! Alongside this troublesome duo, they will be accompanied by DJ QuestionMark who will be playing the Flute alongside their set + the fabulous Urban Unicorns UK dancers who will be bringing the vibes with their killa moves! soundcloud.com/djfizzygillespie soundcloud.com/dande_lion Ali Baba Swing & Bass resident DJ and mystical genie man, Ali Baba, returns to the decks once again with his treasure trove of party bangers!
