Basic Space presents. Bwani Junction & Friends - Malawi Appeal

BASIC Space is a new club night drummed up by a group of clued-up Edinburgh teenagers armed with a positive attitude and a love of all things electronic.

Dylan Smith, Paddy Do Rego and Greig Thomson aka Future Funk chose to organise this Malawi fundraiser after seeing and reading coverage in the news and on TV.

Smith says, “Our school has made us aware of the struggle in Malawi. We had to do something about it. We listen to music and party, but there’s kids there who don’t even get an education, let alone the things we take for granted. We thought we should throw a party. It’s just another weekend for us but a future for someone else”.

Big n Bashy & Electrikal present Panda Party (Fancy dress)

CLUBLAND gets in on the act and joins thousands of Edinburghers welcoming the new arrivals in panda fashion. A strictly black and white theme will be enforced, with those pushing the boat out a little further by donning panda masks or outfits getting in for free.

This is one jungle night where it will definitely be a case of paws in the air. Of course, the other option is that you just head along for a good laugh at a room full of panda-people going mental. Featuring DJs Era, Deburgh, Whit3Noi5e playing out reggae, dub step, D ‘n’ B and electro.
