A celebration of the distinct, undeniable, and wickedest underground sounds of the United Kingdom. For this edition: Junglist January. These selectors will be bringing a heated selection of uk rollers, jungle, liquid and drum and bass and hardcore breaks.

Downbeat resident, Rhythmicon will start the night with a selection of old school liquid and hardcore breaks, then on to Dan Snakehead who’s “Nocturnal Emissions” radio show and ruff neck antics behind the decks has garnered him an international following. Closing the night we have local Jungle star “Rooks” who’s rugged selection and mixing style will send the night into the stratosphere.

This is a night built for bass lovers, two-steppers, ravers, and anyone who craves the irresistible energy of the UK scene.

More than a club night — United Sound is a growing community. It’s a gathering place where diverse musical styles meet, where both newcomers and long-time ravers are welcome, and where connections are made through rhythm, culture, and the shared love of low-end frequencies.
