KTB

11/11/2022

Your old lockdown Zoom roomies are back but this time in the flesh. DJs FRANKIE & KTB will be warming up the crowd for this massive lineup…
LANEOUS aka Lachlan Mitchell is back for another round of Uncomfortable Science: Sydney edition. This guy needs no intro, he is your favourite musicians favourite musician. This line up is epic bringing together 3 members of local soul deities GODTET with Ollie McGill of THE CAT EMPIRE.
LANEOUS will be guiding this one time only band with live & improvised composition on his whiteboard. With the flick of his marker anything can happen, but it is always uncomfortably funky.

This triple headliner is completed with local and internationally acclaimed legends:

Eglo Records artist NATALIE SLADE, she never misses with her tight band and beautiful bangers many of which from her Simon Mavin (Hiatus Kaiyote) produced album “Control”.

And the explosive live 10 piece neo-funk engine called CINTA.

CINTA might be slightly newer to the scene but has risen to well-deserved notoriety as a funk and neo-soul powerhouse. A true contemporary of Australia's modern soul royalty. Packing a 10 piece band, this stuff will change your life like true soul music is meant to do.

Roll Call:



Doors at 7.30. $28. Ticket link in bio.

🔊🔊📡🔊🔊🔊🔊📡🔊

**First time Bubblers**
- We’re stoked to welcome this member to Loose Bubble! Her style is a curated selection of cinematic and jazzy songs that are groovy and uplifting, combined with bass-heavy and percussive rhythms that make junglists and ravers go wild. Playing d'n'b, techno and more.

Captain K - You’ll know her as a long time supporter of the Sydney vinyl scene. You also might know her roadie Prince Mikey.. Well she has been slyly amassing a collection of yacht rock records and threatening to unleash their smooth fury on the crowd of her choosing… the threats are over. We are that crowd. DEBUT DJ SET!

**Back for more Looseness*
- The blue and orange one is back again. Always with a mixed bag of vinyl that you will probably want to try and buy from him.. Hip hop, soul, funk and beyond!
( / ) +dub ( ) - With their collections combined, you will be treated to anything from 60’s RnB to disco, soul to reggae/dub and a whole lotta bass. They somehow weave a large variety of styles into a smooth party vibe with psychedelic projections to boot.

- You might know him as one third of local legends , now he’s back with us again under his solo moniker. The bringer of the spiritual boogie, the esoteric boom and the interdimensional BAP! Soulful afro-house, jazzy dancehall and much more...

Wicked Bandit ( / )- FEEL THE 808 THUNDER ROOAR!! 80’s hip hop and electro has barely sounded better than when in the hands of the notorious Wicked Bandit. Welcome back to the party Wicked Bandit of Queen Bee Collective!

cd dance - After showcasing some scarily advanced skills in his first set EVER here at Loose Bubble 7 we are super happy to welcome back cd dance! He will lead you through a maze of grime, cutting edge remixes and bass heavy delights.

Chris Munky - Slides into the bubble with that UK magic! Now heavy in the Sydney hip hop scene, Munky promises anything from hip hop to dub, funk to jungle, not to mention his top notch original productions.

Part in Session’s Fufu & Tom I - These guys are basically gonna recreate a western gunfight but instead or taking 10 strides, they are taking at least 5kms or some s**t then turning around to fire their finest dub and reggae wax at each other. Remote back 2 back..BRRRRRRRAP!

Molly Pop - Part duke box/part dance move, all bubble. Turns the party out every time. The best mashups, prove me wrong.

Foxy fuzz - Back again by popular demand, there’s never enough South American magic in ones day. Bask in cumbia and sublime vibes.

Moody - Loose Bubble staple, Moddy loves to shine his light on modern African music among maaany other styles. A mixed bag of energetic and high spirited bangers are guaranteed.

KTB vs Frankie - In the spirit of hip hop, it’s battle time. These two will challenge each others selections going back 2 back. Audience decides who moves them the most.
