Hyperfolkus presents: BASS CEILIDH

The Bass Ceilidh is back once again this V day, and this time we're joined by some more ridiculous mofos who take nice lovely traditional fiolk music, and twist it to their own nefarious techno fantasies.
Hold your hot date's hand tight, and take them on a stompfest through the realms of French electro-hurdy-gurdy, Celtic bass, Balkan beats, and more.

BALFOLK BOOMBOX
Balfolk: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Balfolk Boombox. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new sounds, to seek out new beats and new bass-lines, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
"It's dancing Jim, but not as we know it..."
Rory Scammell, its creator, has received hate-mail and quite rightly so.

BASS CEILIDH
With Joe aka FyddleStyx belting out the melodies of Ireland and Scotland on his turquoise fiddle, fat beats from Teuchter hooning out the speakers, and of course the one and only Fig leading the dances, the Bass Ceilidh is guaranteed to exhaust and exhilirate you in equal measure

GYPSYNDICATE
Lacquered in the rich musical tapestries of India and the Balkans, deiciously and filthily entwined with the unbridled spirit of the UK undergeound rave scene, Gypsyndicate weaves together traditional melodies with complex rhythms of ancient lands, adorned with the raw power and intensity of heavy metal, hip-hop and hardtek. They bring the sarangi to the soundsystem and the darbuka to the dancefloor.
