Party: ☼☼☼ PASSING CLOUDS FIESTIVAL PART TWO!!! ☼☼☼

It's time for Fiestival part two! We had such a good time at the last one that we just had to do it all over again. It's another eclectic mix of upbeat summer bands, a skanking big tagine of brass, bass, electro swing, gypsy, Klezmer and Dn'B!!!

SATURDAY!!!

LIVE:

♪♫♪♫ land of the giants ♪♫♪♫

Formed in October 2009 with lofty aspirations, Land of the Giants have been busy pounding dance floors with their raucous, feelgood, highly-addictive shows. With ideas too big to be pigeon-holed, the Giants fuse many a musical style and are quite frankly genre-defying. Expect inspired songwriting with a heavy dancefloor sensibility. Pumping drum and bass licks, scorching guitar, soulful yet commanding vocals and a jumpin' brass section!!!

♪♫♪♫ Smokey Joe & The Kid ♪♫♪♫

These two gangsters mix Hip Hop and Electro with the groove and melodies of early 20th century Swing. They perform everything live including percussion solos played with scratches and beats n' melodies banged out on the MPC! This gig will be an audio visual treat, with the duo doing some VJ-ing and projecting exciting imagery to match their feisty tunes. Guaranteed to pack the dancefloor!

♪♫♪♫ GypsyUnit ♪♫♪♫

Pioners of the 'Gyp-Hop' sound, full of character and bouncy basslines, Gypsy Unit are definitely not your run-of-the-mill hiphop act. Combining a rowdy, cheeky party vibe with a quirky string section and hooky choruses, their trademark sound makes them one of the freshest acts to hit the scene.

♪♫♪♫ Yoshke and the Wolves ♪♫♪♫

Formed of musicians from the SOAS, Yoshke and the Wolves are fresh on the scene and traversing the klezmer landscape with a spring in their step. Packed to the rafters with howling woodwind and scintillating strings, Yoshke sits amidst the pack, accordion in hand, marshalling your feet to the unquenchable rhythms and bidding them dance!

DJs:

♪♫♪♫ Sacha Dieu ♪♫♪♫

Sacha is reputed for being one of the pioneers and specialists of Balkan Gypsy, Electro Swing and Global Beats djing in the UK. He's also one of Clouds' resident DJs - ain’t no-one keeps the dance floor alive and kicking like the grand Daddy of the electro-swing scene, and we’ll have strong words with anyone who says otherwise!

♪♫♪♫ The Sultan ♪♫♪♫

This Beatroots regular always kills it! Whether it be Dancehall, Garage, House, Jungle or Hip Hop, the Sultan is well practiced in creating a party atmosphere that always leaves a impression.


7pm-5am
£5 before 9pm, £7 before 10pm, £10 after.


SUNDAY!!!

LIVE:

♪♫♪♫ Op Sa! Balkan Band ♪♫♪♫

Op Sa! are a fiery bunch of musicians who use the roots of the Serbian Kolo and the Turkish Čoček to create their own passionate brand of Balkan music. With repertoire from Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia and the Romani Culture alongside a growing anthology of original songs, Op Sa! have played in such prestigious venues such as the Royal Festival Hall alongside the London Philharmonic Orchestra, supported top bands such as Serbian band KAL and the Turbans, and worked alongside producers Gypsy Hill. Boasting a fine 12-piece big band, the traditional brass section is coupled with clarinets, sax, electric guitars and drum set to create the band’s mesmerizing modern sound. Op Sa! have that rare ‘wild beat,’ and they are bound to show you how to party!

♪♫♪♫ Town Of Cats ♪♫♪♫

This is good times music, serving up Gyp-Hop Ska with lashings of Latino and a side of Funk. Town of Cats have spun fucked-up fairy tales of their former lives and spat ‘em out over brassy, skanking funk-folk! They sing starry-eyed of childhood wonders and lustily of teenage highs, yowl and hiss at the moon with longing for something bigger and brighter than beige southern towns and the work-drink-sleep-repeat monotony of young adulthood.

DJs:

♪♫♪♫ Elias Doré ♪♫♪♫

Taking his influences from many corners around the globe, Elias stirs them all up in a deep and groovy cocktail of Electronica that buzzes with the pulse of his hometown of Berlin.
