BAD NEWS

Our aim is simple. To bring more soundsystem culture to Glasgow.

Over the coming months we will be bringing you a string of parties showcasing some of the biggest and best names in Hip-Hop, Garage, Dubstep, Reggae and Drum & Bass, complimented by a host of local talent in room two.

We boast a resident 26kW wall of sound supplied by the mighty Electrikal Sound System.

We will have a fresh graffiti wall created live for each event with some of the best street artists from scotland.

ZED BIAS [ Swamp 81, Tru Thoughts ]

As a trailblazer of underground dance music, he is always moving with – or ahead of – the times and his productions grace the playlists of Radio 1 DJs Gilles Peterson and Mary Anne Hobbs, as well as making themselves at home in the record boxes of DJ/producers like Toddla T, Blame, Skream, Plastician, Oneman, Benga, Kode 9 and Martyn (who included new track ‘Lost on Tenori Street’ on his recent ‘Fabric 50’ mix).

LOEFAH [ Swamp 81, DMZ ]

Seen by many as one of the founding fathers of dubstep and innovators of the scene, we can’t even begin to describe his back catalogue, including some of the seminal releases of the last 10 years. Recently and perhaps most famously Loefah has re-invented himself and founded one of the hottest labels in the UK, Swamp 81. As if that wasn’t enough Loefah also holds down a regular Rinse FM slot.

GIRL UNIT [ Night Slugs ]

Girl Unit has proved to be well capable to kill dancefloors all over the globe with his well known and respected 'WUT' and 'I.R.L.' EP's on Night Slugs.
Girl Unit aims to produce bass-heavy club tracks that serve to project his love for RnB/rap music and regional US. Club music styles.

PINCH [ Swamp 81, Tectonic ]

Celebrated for his fusion of Dub/Reggae, World Music and Dancehall with Dubstep, 2010 saw Pinch undertake the groundbreaking “SCIENTIST LAUNCHES DUBSTEP INTO OUTER SPACE” project which saw legendary Dub producer Scientist from Jamaica producing an albums worth of dub mixes for Techtonic. This culminated in a live tour of the UK with ‘The Upsetters’ mixed by Scientist and a whose who of the deeper dubstep world.

if this is a "launch" line up, then I'm expecting big things! Should be quality

This! Absolutely massive lineup, been dying to see Loefah since I missed him at the last swamp night.

Phaeleh's playing the next one, not sure who else it's with yet though.

[ekidd91]

Cannot fucking wait for this.

Phaeleh is great but my excitement tripled when it got changed to Pinch. Gonna be bloody massive

Have been a little put off by Electrikal in the past (after hearing about/seeing pictures from that night they did with Doctor P and girl dancers). But since they're not the promoters this time round, and the line up is fucking stellar, I've got my hopes up. Anyone heard the Electrikal system, is it good?

The electrikal rig is one of the tightest i've heard in my life. Truth!!

If i'm being honest, i'm not a fan of what they do in Edinburgh (what with all the pole dancing etc and i'm not a fan of the lineups they book), but they do however consistently sell out almost all of their events, which as promoters, is what counts.

We chose Electrikal to provide the sound for this night as it is one of the best sound systems i've heard/felt. It will compliment the lineup enormously, and we aim for this not to be just a night, but an experience! Top line up, excellent local talent, fantastic venue, lights and visual show, beautiful soundsystem, reasonable door tax = one hell of a good night!



btw, the second Badnews event is on 9th of March, and the lineup is HUGE trust!

[say_whut]

Yeah I hate all the sleazy shit, but the system is ridiculous, I reckon this Bad News biz is the real deal for bringing soundsystem culture to Scotland, at long last

Reckon this Badnews is gonna be the start of something sick. Is Chunky gonna be on the mic btw?

[djnoface]

On hosting duties we have Scotland's finest SI-AN on the mic. not much recorded material but he is a fine host! i have also found this live recording...

Soundcloud

Badnews IS going to be sick!

The line up for the second date is just ridiculous! So tempting to announce it, but keeping that well under wraps for the time being

We have also rescheduled Phaeleh for another date this year, and to compensate for the confusion between him, us and the agency, he is doing an exclusive mix just for us! so stay tuned

2012 = BADNEWS!

[Liam92]

Sounding good, just hope Arches have forgotten about when I got barred way back in May!

[teamhobson]

Loefah came with absolute fire at the swamp81 night at art school this year, honestly cant wait for this.

As much as i love Phaeleh, when i heard Pinch was playing instead i went weak at the knees. This new night should be the start of something very special in Glasgow.

[anadin_xtra]

first time in glasgow...heading up from manc....good venue/system? any reccomendations for things to see/do considering i'm there for the weekend...also would be to meet some dsfers

Check out Rubadub Records. Bier Halle (over 100 beers from around the world). Sub Club if you're looking to go out the next night too. A trip up the west end can be nice too if you fancy a more cultured day out haha.

The Arches is a decent venue, quite cool.

Defoes go to the Sub Club, absolutely amazing place, dark and small venue with a huge system, the swamp night's on the Friday, so I'm guessing if you go subclub on the Saturday, it'll be something techno-ish. Also, as ekidd said, Bier Halle, can't beat a pizza and a beer outta there!

Definitely a trip up the west-end too, ashton lane is a great place.

Chambre 69 is a good place for a night out too, as well as Stereo and La Cheetah

That's the sound system, it is 26kw and is as tight and punchy as it is subby. it really sounds great. plus there is the in-house funktion one rig
@anadin-xtra - venue wise, i thought the arches is very much like the warehouse project, but a wee bit smaller.

[djnoface]

http://clone.nl/label/all%20caps%20records

big release on the supporting All Caps record label. Sadly, it's sold out almost everywhere, but it's some tune!!

[anadin_xtra]

cheers will have to try and check these places out....excited for the arches now...rig looks quality and I always prefer a smaller/more intimate venue.....i hope that it isn't as expensive as warehouse project

[djnoface]

ten quid mate, half the price

[anadin_xtra]

nah i knew about ticket prices i meant its not about paying £3.50 for a can of red stripe....

they may have already posted on their website about it already ...i could be barking up the wrong tree tho
