Smokey Bubblin' B & Friends: Smokey Bubblin' B, Dec Duffy, Charlotte Ord

The big man driving UK garage into the stratosphere, Smokey Bubblin' B, parks up for one night only at the legendary converted str!p-club-turned-nightclub, Metropolis (in Bethnal Green). A UKG world champion at heart, but with an ultra-rare talent for pushing things far beyond the genre’s limits, Smokey has spent the past 10 years racing around his own track. His productions pioneer a kind of skippy garage meets techy house meets bass-heavy breakbeat hybrid sound. In short, it’s old school power, with some sharp modern touches. His DJ sets? Much the same vibe. But with breakneck speed blends sending the crowd into a spin. Strap yourselves in.
