Reflective Goes Twice Monthly @ Plug
4th Apr 2008
It’s a hugely important step for the
long-running night which has been at the fore of a lesser-known scene, one
which has arguably flown the flag as high and for as long as possible, always
seeking to expand, develop and stretch the boundaries of bassline house.
Perhaps a little misunderstood, the
mix of speed garage, 4x4 garage and R+B creates a heady cocktail of rip
snorting shuddering – well – bass, and earlobe shredding music which
reverberates through everyone on the dance floor, which has been a northern
enclave since firing up in Sheffield back in 2002. It was promoter Martin
Leverton who claims – rightly! – to first coining the phrase bassline house in
an interview with i-DJ Magazine years ago, and the monicker stuck like glue.
And really, there’s nothing more appropriate really, as for anyone who has been
to a Reflective night, they can bank on one thing – plenty of house.
“It’s been a great adventure so far
for us and the time feels right to expand a bit in terms of how many nights we
put on,” Martin explains. “Part of it has been from consistently pulling in
around 800-1000 people for each Reflective which is great, and we think there’s
enough variety in terms of live acts and DJs that we can balance to ensure
people keep coming back for more. So I spoke with the guys at Plug and we agreed
we could step it up to twice a month!
“What’s really important to us is
showcasing and nurturing new talent as there’s plenty out there, we know there
is, it’s just some people need a bit of coaxing to come out. We are hoping to
set up a comp for someone to play the main room, quite possibly for the
birthday in August, and if that goes well then it could lead to regular gigs
with us. We’ve got some great residents and there are plenty of cracking guests
who come to us on a regular basis, so the comp will ideally give someone out
there a chance. There’s also the label too which is going really well. It’s
where loads of good music is emanating from and we can showcase all the new
tracks at each gig too, so it’s perfect to see the crowd’s reaction, and people
usually go a bit crazy. Tek, GBH and Veteran are all prolific producers. All’s
we want to do is help spread bassline out to the UK – we think of ourselves as
the home of bassline house but there’s no reason why a lot more people can get
involved.”
Also keep eyes peeled for a special
comp to win a set at Reflective’s birthday party in August. Info will be
released very soon…
So now twice a month on Fridays at
Plug there’s never been a better time to check out Reflective and what bassline
house is all about.
