It's story time

With our 10th anniversary coming up Wrighty & Beane got together to pick 10 tunes that meant a lot to them, have a chat about them and some of the previous guests while enjoying a few glasses of wine

Enjoy

Looking back...

As we work on plans to celebrate our 10th Birthday we thought we'd take a moment to undo our top button and look back. Phew, thats been quite a lot of parties...

‘’Change, things just rearrange’’ – Donald Byrd

Say what you like about change, one thing is certain everything, and everyone, will change. Here at Soul Buggin’ we’ve always adapted, we’ve had different venues, different nights but we’ve always held a couple of things dear. First and foremost is the music, we play what we want, music with soul, music we love, that will never change. Second is that it’s all about the party, we wont enjoy it if the party isn’t right.

Well we’ve decided that as things have progressed in people’s lives we need to change things up to make sure the party stays right. As such we’ve decided not to keep going with monthly events and instead do fewer, random, parties throughout the year. We want to make sure that when we put on a party it’s seen as an event to go to and we hope you agree this is the best way to progress.

A big thanks to you all for reading and we’ll see you on the dancefloor at our 10th Birthday Party

Get on the Leftfoot

For those of us into their leftfield music the name Leftfoot has always shone brightly and we at Soul Buggin' are pleased to welcome residents Adam Regan & matt Beck along for a night of mighty fine music.

Leftfoot was founded by Adam & Richard Whittingham at Custard Factory in Birmingham. Quickly making a name for itself as the place to head for quality music ranging from house to hip hop, disco to latin and tecno to afrobeat. The night was voted as best club night on Gilles Peterson on his Worldwide Radio Show and went from strength to strength bringing in some big hitters as guests to their night including Gilles, King Britt, Carl Craig, Kenny Dope, Mr Scruff, Dego & Jazzanova.

We run from 11p.m. - 4a.m.

Entry £5 OTD

Get a nice Hot Toddy down yer...

"When it's spring again we'll sing again, tulips from Amsterdam" said somebody once, but not us, oh no. Springtime to us doesn't mean tulips from the Netherlands, instead our thoughts turn to Hot Toddy from Crazy P.

Of course Mr Todd has played at Buggin' before as part of rather splendid night featuring Crazy P Soundsystem, but we thought we'd invite him along to fly solo this time on Saturday 29th March @ The Bodega, Pelham Road, Nottingham. 

Hot Toddy has been releasing quality tunes for the last 15 years on some of the best independent labels around including PapeRecordings, Winding Road and Eskimo, and has also put his hand to some rather brilliant remixes for the likes of Joey Negro, Fred everything, Mousse T, Lovebirds & of course Crazy P.

We're really rather pleased that he's found time to play in his adopted city as he can generally be found rocking dancefloors across the globe.

Support comes from residents Wrighty & Beane

Entry is £6 on the door

Downstairs in the bar we have Ny & Cyclonix doing their thing

Set piece punishment

With Saturday night still ringing round our ears we'd just like to say a big thank you to all those that came down to The Bodega for our Soul Buggin' session last weekend. Top crowd, top vibe and a great night. Big ups must of course go to our guest Dego who played a blinder.

Here's a few pics from the session

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.

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