The Bongo Club

The Bongo Club Putting The Cult Into Culture Since 1996
(814)

Edinburgh's Underground Cultural Capital

The originators of its much imitated style, The Bongo Club specializes in the art and music of the underground. From its original roots in the old bus depot on New Street (1996-2003), via Moray House, in Holyrood ('03-'13), and finally its current location in the Central Library vaults on Cowgate (since '13), The Bongo Club has always broken the traditional mould for a nightclub.

TONIGHT: Club_Nacht x Hobbes follow parties with Crazy P, Etienne de Crecy, Session Victim, Theo Kottis & Michelle Manetti with their Start of Summer Shindig, marking the solstice with Ali Herron aka OOFT! 🌞💃🏽

“A true mainstay of Scotland’s underground for well over a decade, OOFT! has earned his reputation through consistently strong parties, releases and DJ sets rooted in house, disco, funk and Balearic sounds. 🪩💃🏽🌴

A DJ first and foremost, his approach is musical unflashy, and forever in the know…. the kind of selector who knows how exactly to let a record breathe, via long-running residencies at some of Glasgow’s top venues including the Sub Club, The Berkeley Suite and, more recently, weekly Sundays at La Cheetah for his KEEP ON residency with fellow Gtown veteran David Barbarossa. 🔥

Beyond Glasgow, he’s toured extensively across the UK, Europe and further afield, bringing a sound that comfortably moves from slow-motion Balearic moods through underground disco to classic, soulful house.” ♨️

Ok, it’s been on hiatus for a minute (!) but next up in our Residency Series Mix, we welcome iluna, repping femme techno champs EPIKA. 🔊

The full mix is up on our Soundcloud now (see link in comments)

-

iluna is a Scottish DJ and producer now living in Colombia. Her moniker - taken from the Basque ilun meaning “dark, mysterious, obscure” - reflects a sound that is simultaneously hypnotic and fierce, drawing from deep textures, driving rhythms and nostalgic sounds.

As well as residing at EPiKA and Tribal Pulse, she’s taken her sound to major dancefloors including Terminal V Festival, the iconic Sub Club for Soma Records’ Return to Mono night and the Berkeley Suite stage alongside the legendary I LOVE ACID collective.

iluna has also supported seminal acts including Leftfield, Vitalic, Harvey McKay (RIP) and DJ Pierre.
