This Friday we reclaim the Cowgate. Bongo Club reopens for the first time since July 🍾

Canonical rave history played straight from the needle on the record, stacked alongside the latest innovations in the sonic arts (and a whole bunch of daft fun tunes too) 🙃

Tickets approaching Final Release. Act fast to secure your place 🔐

Bongo Club reopens this Friday 🚨

A departure from genre-focus, we’ll be playing everything too fresh to be named and too granular to survive Discogs’ taxonomic scrutiny. Forgotten 90s techno mutations to deconstructed soundcloud ephemera 🧪🔊💨

Tickets approaching Final Release. Act fast to secure your place 🔐

Today’s the day! Resident Advisor have awarded us ‘RA Pick’ and it’s their most responded to event in Edi today 🏆

Kickoff at 4PM, curfew at Midnight. Location is The Roastery [Uplands Roast] down George Sq Lane by the Uni Library 📍

Venue is equipped with bar & excellent Martin Audio soundsystem 🔊

Really excited to have 8 hours to go through some of the more untapped areas of my music collection. Expect a massive variety throughout 🫟

Important info ⚠️
FREE tickets are available to RSVP but do not guarantee entry. Capacity is limited and strictly first come first served. We’ve had 4x the number of signups than we can fit(!!!) Advice as always is to arrive on the earlier side to avoid disappointment ❤️‍🔥

Wrisk gigs this next week 🗓️
Fri 28/08 — Fringe Wrap Party @ Uplands Roast [Roastery, George Sq Lane]
Fri 04/09 — Bongo Club Reopening Rave
Sat 05/09 — Paradise Palms [All Nite Long]

27/08/2026

1 week tomorrow — The Bongo Club finally reopens! 🥹

Tickets approaching Final Release. Secure your place while stocks last ⏳

On to the more immediate future, our day-to-night Fringe Wrap Party at Uplands Roast is TOMORROW 🚨

Resident Advisor have awarded the event ‘RA Pick’ and it’s the most responded to event in Edi tomorrow 🙂‍↕️

The best part, it’s totally FREE 🆓 no strings attached 💸 RSVP via RA ✍️

The only (slight) catch is that capacity is limited and operated on a first come first served basis. We open at 4PM and run til midnight. Arrive as early as you can to avoid disappointment ⌚️

If we’re at capacity at your time of arrival, try come back a bit later. It’s an 8 hour event so likely to have ebbs and flows. Stay tuned for updates if capacity is reached/becomes available again 👀

Unicorn Times kindly asked some questions about DJing for their June edition ✨

I put these in a script font partially to align with the enchanted, sylvan aesthetic that unicorns bring to mind, but probably more-so to slightly obscure it to overcome the cringe of being sincere in print. This may only be readable to the 20/20 hyperlexics but you can check out the whole issue via their Patreon 🦄

In other news it’s only TWO DAYS til our Fringe Closing Party. A day-to-night rave to see the festival off for another year. Rejoice on the eve of our city becoming liveable again 🕊️

Resident Advisor have awarded us their RA Pick and it’s their most responded to event in Edinburgh this Friday. The best part? It’s completely FREE! 🆓

The only catch is capacity is limited and once we’re full, we’re full. Arrive on the earlier side to avoid disappointment. RSVP via RA ✍️

Finally, it’s a little over a week til Bongo finally reopens. Tickets are on penultimate release and expected to sell out. Secure your place while stocks last ❤️‍🔥
