2000 Black flavours

You know what we love most about February? It's bloody short so you only have to wait 4 weeks between your dose of Buggin'. Following on from Lucy Locket's rather brilliant set we have one of the true inspirations of music over the last 20 or so years - Dego.

We've been big fans of Dego's productions for as far back as we can remember. Whether it be the sublime music of 4 Hero (alongside production partner Marc Mac), the superb output from his 2000 Black label or more recently his collaborative work with Kaidi Tatham (amongst many many others) Dego has always pioneered forward-thinking soulful music across all tempos that we absolutely love.

So it's no secret that we are super excited to be welcoming Dego to our dancefloor on Saturday 22nd February at The Bodega here in Nottingham. 


Musical back up with be supplied by residents Wrighty and Beane.


We look forward to shaking a leg with you at this one.


11pm-4am

Entry: £6 OTD

Get ready to hit the sales hard...

So then January eh, it's a right rascal isn't it? You've maxed out your cards at Xmas, joined a new gym (you've even been twice), given up just about everything fun and not had a giggle since NYE. We hope you had a good one at our soundclash with the DiY boys. We had a ball but now we've sorted out the cutlery draw that is our heads it's time to tell you about what we've got up our sleeves next.

Come the end of the month you'll be itching to get back on it and give it the full disco treatment but the bank account wont take a heavy one. What to do? Well luckily we at Buggin' Towers have the solution, for the second year running we present The Soul Buggin' January Sale, where we offer cheap entry, cheap booze but the same high quality dancefloor business.

Helping us out this month we have one of very favourite DJs, the rather magnificent Lucy Locket. A true disciple of all things disco Lucy regularly spins at Manchester's legendary Homoelectric night and can also be found supporting the likes of Joey Negro, Rahaan, Horse Meat Disco & Al Kent as well as rocking Leeds high quality ssssshhh night 'Cosmic Slop'. For those of you who missed her last visit, assure yourself that you are in for a treat this time round.

Check out her sounds over here: http://www.mixcrate.com/lucylocket

Support comes from Wrighty & Beane 

Entry is a mere £3 before midnight and £5 after and there are drinks offers until 1 a.m.

Downstairs in the bar we have invited Dreshom, from KADINSKY RECORDS, to spin for us.

2014 - Let's have you!

Soul Buggin' vs. DiY NYE Soundclash!

So then. 2013. Almost done. What a year it's been eh. We'll perhaps do a proper review once we've got the party season out the way and let the dust settle but before all that you need to know about this. 

This New Years Eve we've decided to return to the upstairs loft-style room of The Old Angel down Stoney Street in Nottingham. We had a belter last year so we thought lets do it again and this time we've invited DiY party stalwarts Woosh and Osbourne to join us on the decks.

If you're after a little intimate party in dark room that'll be high on the music quality front but low on the wallet then get your shuffle on down to this soiree.

We'll be running from 10pm till 4am. Entry will be £5 on the door. No tickets. First come first served

Let's see in the New Year right (or wrong as the case will probably be)

Last weekend we held our penultimate Soul Buggin' party of 2013 and we were blessed with the presence of Bill Brewster. A cracking night and a fine way to gear ourselves up for the xmas party season. Here's a few pics to get your chops around.

Keep your eyes peeled for full details of our New Years Eve party coming soon in the next few days

Mr DJ History

Hot on the heels of Horse Meat Disco we welcome back to Soul Buggin' another previous guest in the form of Bill Brewster. There's been many memorable Soul Buggin' parties in recent years but one that has always stood out for us was when we invited Bill to come and play at our old venue Moog so we thought let's get him back for 2013 and let him loose on the bigger dancefloor that is The Bodega.

Since starting his DJ career in the late 80’s cutting his teeth playing in New York he’s played all over the globe and is one of the heads behind the superb Low Life parties in London. He has wrote music columns for almost every dance rag out there, penned bible-like books on the art of the DJ (‘Last Night A DJ Saved My Life’) and created hugely popular websites for the DJ community (www.djhistory.com) and that's just scratching the surface.

We'd recommend you don't miss this one :)

Residents on back up duties as usual will be Wrighty & Beane

Birthday outer space shenanigans

Oh gawd me head. Now that was what I call a party. The excitement regarding our birthday party had been bubbling over these past few months ever since we announced Andrew Weatherall as our special guest and last Saturday loads of you came down to work the floorboards good and proper at The Bodega here in Nottingham. Arguably our busiest night to date we couldn't of asked for a better crowd so big up all of you that came down to join us in raising a glass. Massive thanks must also go out to Mr Weatherall who over the course of 3 hours took us all on one of his fine outer space dance floor journeys right up to lights on. Wow. While we try to gather our marbles and memories here's a few pics our roving lens Nick 'the photo' Clague snapped
