DJ Bobby Friction’s Going South crew will be joining with the Global Club Music Network for a party showcasing South Asian and global sounds at the legendary Band On The Wall.
Genuinely global sets on the GCNM stage – housed in the BOTW’s new Copper Bar – will come from (deep breath) Daferwa (Germany/Mexico), David Chavez (USA), DJ Chris Tofu (UK), DJ Mam (Brazil), DJ Ru Robinson (UK), La Lvcha (Colombia), Missex (Colombia), Oonga (Canada), Rebel Up Sebcat B2B Aleksand Saya (Belgium & La Reunion), and Will Villa (Colombia).
The South Asian room line-up will be headlined by a live show from bass-heavy party starters Bhangra All Stars (Live) hosted by iconic Bhangra singer and performer Bee2, alongside BBC DJ, South Asian music legend, and, of course, leader of Going South Bobby Friction.
There will also be sets from Gracie T, Manara, UK club favourite Ummi, and true world music selector Indian Man.
Meanwhile, kicking off the night from 7pm will be the DJ Spinall Show, with relentless afrobeats coming from Spinall alongside DJ Znow and Lola With The Dufflebag.
