SVA, Hub collective weekend programme

Whitechapel Freak Show. Vintage Boutique, Curiosities, Victorian Arthouse Cinema, Kimonos, Ming, Fruit and Veg, Live Bands and the most extraordinary DJ club nights all gather under the charmingly intimate roof of Artspace’s John Street Studios. Real ale and lager on tap, a full bar plus a cocktails courtyard and terraced buddleia garden.

Disco Sucks. DJ Tim Telling, Deano, Rossmatic, Ballinger. 30 years ago a bunch of rednecks and gay-bashers, incited by two meathead radio DJs, burned thousands of disco records in a baseball stadium and declared the end of the disco era. They called this event ‘Disco Sucks’ and thought everyone would go back to listening to country and eating raw meat. Thankfully, history proved them wrong. Disco Sucks returns to the SVA for a special Fringe party with DJs playing premium quality underground disco music from the 70s to the present day and beyond. Lion Heart Sound System. DJs, Kulchlee, Slector/mic chanter, Rass Head, Slector/mic chanter, Slector Mighty BT, Roots, reggae, up tempo dub. Common sense upliftment spiritual music with a reggae and steppers dub warrior. Music with a message of community, positive caring and sharing, the well being of us all rastafari blessings. The 3 DJ’s have been involved in sound system for over 2 decades. “Following a sound system was like following a football team. Each sound system has its distinctive dub specials and we’re still followers to the present day.”
