Exams over. Term over. Year over. Hope you’ve enjoyed the last 9 months or so in York, and enjoyed some of our events too.

Another end. Another beginning.

It’s been a bit of a different year for us at Breakz. We’ve had fewer events of our own, but been part of a lot more collaborations. Over the past year, we’ve worked with the Herbal Mafia, RAG, James, Langwith, Derwent and many other societies and groups to bring you a much needed fix of drum and bass through some big bass bins. And we’ve already started working with YUSU Ents (and many others) on next term’s freshers’ week to ensure the music you love continues to be represented.

The scene in York

In town things have been pretty positive, with the arrival of the monthly Herbal Mafia and Tinnitus dnb nights at Cert 18 (the former unfortunately no longer running, though we are hopeful this may change soon). There have also been a number of other regular and one off nights at the Junction, Judge’s Lodgings and other venues offering a similar musical palette. The alternative music scene in York has long been underrepresented for a city of this size, so hopefully this will prove to be just the start for the developing scene in York.

Looking ahead

We’re already looking ahead to our next year in York, so if you have any thoughts, comments or want to get involved with Breakz then please do get in touch. And if you’re returning next year, no doubt we’ll see you at the front…

Free tonight?

If you’re still in York and fancy going out tonight, Tinnitus are hosting their monthly drum & bass night at Cert 18 for your listening and dancing pleasure. This time Generation Dub are headlining, with support from El Mundo, residents Brounsoundz and Bainbridge, and a brace of MCs. Should be a good one.
