House/Techno Music Scene in Bristol

Hi all,

Just wondering what the house/tech house/techno music scene is like up there? (I DJ these genres)

Also, if anyone else is starting in Sept and are also into the same sort of scene, leave a comment! Be great to hit some events with like-minded people!

Many thanks =)

That scene is famously large in Bristol.

Check out the websites of Timbuk2, Dojo, Lakota, Motion, Basement 45, Thekla. All good clubs. Students go there the most for these nights. They hold famous nights. Motion holds the "biggest" in the sense that it holds something like 3000 people so has the money for really famous DJ nights - but comes at prices of £20-35 for one night. Motion is good but not necessarily the most fun or individual and going too much will kill it, so person above don't get your hopes up that much and check out the other places. The other clubs are standard club entry price and hold really sick events sometimes (in my opinion, especially Lakota and Timbuk2 and Thekla, although I don't like Thekla because it gets so hot I can't breathe.)

PS. apply to Badock Hall if you're worried about not finding people who like these nights too - Badock lives in these clubs every night all week (little bit of an exaggeration, but on purpose).

half the reason i chose bristol uni was for the music scene.. as well as motion i've been looking into black swan and lakota to check out once i get there, they seem a lot like the free party/sound system kinda scene. hoping to catch vandal about if anyone likes his stuff, always seem to miss him when he pops up to play parties in london
