As part of a special collaboration between Midnight Bass, Disorder, and Bristol’s Overview Music, we’re delighted to host a double headline event featuring Austrian DJ & Producer Wingz and Overview’s label head, Peter Piper.

NSA (DAY CULTURE #5): OPTIMO (ESPACIO) & ECLAIR FIFI
No Strings Attached launches a new residency at Bongo with the fifth instalment in the ‘Day Culture’ party series that has seen them packing out venues around town post-pandemic with the likes of A Love From Outer Space, Manfredas, Ivan Smagghe and more. They welcome Glasgow’s legendary Optimo (Espacio) duo, JG Wilkes and JD Twitch, plus Edinburgh’s own Eclair FiFi. Twitch & Wilkes have each played at Bongo in their own right a few times (with Twitch dropping a storming set most recently, in October, for the Hobbes Music Tenth Birthday) but not together, while this will (somewhat amazingly) be Eclair FiFi’s first date at the Cowgate venue, in spite of her setting clubs on fire the world over for many moons now. A bona fide killer line-up for what’s sure to be another bona fide killer NSA party! TICKETS SCOTLAND
