Sober Spaces Club Night with Nicky Blackmarket

After the huge success of our first sober club night In January, we’ve got Nicky Blackmarket back again!

Nicky started DJing in the 1980s when he was 14 and is regarded as one of the pivotal figures in the early jungle/drum and bass scene. He also founded independent dance music record store Blackmarket Records (now known as BM-Soho). 

He’s been playing drum and bass all over the world for the past two decades and we are over the moon to have him back to support our night again.

Drum and bass Dj, producer, label owner and broadcaster, Dazee champions a jungle-jump-up hybrid style characterised by the warmth of her “Bristol Sound” roots. Resident for one of the UKs largest dnb brands, Run and a regular player at major events such as Glastonbury, Hospitality, Love Saves The Day and Westfest, Dazee has relentlessly pursued her jungle campaign on airwaves and dance floors across the globe for three decades. Her fluid and musical DJ style with signature rolling bass, stepper style breaks and sample-based motivs have kept her in demand with fitness brands and world class stages alike and in addition to managing her label, Dazee has an ever-growing catalogue of her own productions and colabs.
