Avast ye scurvy dogs and buccaneers of the night! Welcome aboard the raucous vessel, a techno soirée that took place upon the sea-faring domain of the Jolly Reverb, a pirate ship. Swashbucklers clad in electronic garb sway amidst the salty mist and thrumming beats. The relentless throb of bass echoes through the timbers.

Amongst the flickering lanterns and the haze of fog, the crowd—more a motley crew of ravers—embrace the mayhem, dancing as if the seas themselves surged beneath their feet. The air is thick with the scent of rum and the sound of laughter. Yet, as the night peaks, chaos brewed like a tempest. The music pulsated in harmony with the turbulence that surrounded us. 
The blaring music, once mighty and thunderous, is now muted by the rising waters. The last echo of music intermingles with the wails of a ship destined for the deep, a final crescendo amidst the raging sea.

Now rest in the briny deep...

Falla - Live At The Pirate Ship 🏴‍☠️

Here's a reworking of the brilliant Cape Verde Funaná classic, unearthed on the compilation "Space Echo - The Mystery Behind the Cosmic Sound of Cabo Verde Finally Revealed!". The story behind this mysterious style of music is well worth a read https://analogafrica.bandcamp.com/album/space-echo-the-mystery-behind-the-cosmic-sound-of-cabo-verde-finally-revealed

We've been enjoying watching this spice up the dancefloor with some extra tropical disco style. FREE DOWNLOAD via Soundcloud for you to enjoy (click on 'More' then 'Download')!

Dionisio Maio - Dia Ja Manche (Reverb Bistro Edit)

Unmastered version of a track we made over the summer 2017. Sample is taken from the brilliant Nitin Sawhney - Nadia. The original is a haunting classic, post-drum n bass track. I only hope this does it justice!

Attempting to create something a little different from our normal sound. A roller. Comments good or constructive encouraged. 

Much love

Nitin Sawhney - Nadia (Reverb Bistro Rework)

We were lost but we still turned up. We shook off the laughter and went to work. Cooked our food in a strangers land and years later we'd leave again. The paperwork would last and we made it our own, but I even missed the way the coral ripped my skin as a boy. And here we are.

For dance and in support of Black History Month this February.

Immigrant Bop

We panic and sweat
                                         Call the police and lock them up
                                                  hide midnight smiles

Criminal Culture

This new mix is inspired by music from South Africa and London. Pulling together music spanning across the period of pre and post apartheid in South Africa. Bubblegum, recognisable as funky, synth-heavy pop emerged as local artists attempted to boycot American artists in search of more control over the sound and messages within the scene. 

As the fight against the regime continued, Bubblegum's popularity began to wain, giving space for Kwaito which is influenced by Hip Hop, Jazz and UK House. The word was taken from the Afrikaan word 'kwaai' translates to 'angry' ; a music knowing about the township and for the township with pride and confidence.
