A NIGHT OF FUNK OF SOUL | DJ Andy Smith + Support

Friday 13 March 2026 8pm - 2am | Bomba Exeter

We’re running this one strictly on wax. No USBs, no laptops - just a stack of records built for low-end warmth and dancefloor grit. Expect a proper trip through the golden era of funk and soul, played the way it was meant to be heard.

DJ Andy Smith Andy’s the real deal. As Portishead’s original tour DJ, he wasn’t just warming up crowds - he was shaping their whole aesthetic on stage. He brought the deep-crate attitude that helped sew hip hop sampling logic into their live show, pulling from obscure soul 45s, funk breaks and library gems. He’s bringing that same mindset to Bomba this March!

Support: Andrew Pinney & El Barco Andrew Pinney knows how to build a room with patience and good taste. He leans into the kind of soul-drenched selections that make the night feel like it’s moving somewhere, not just jumping track to track. El Barco comes at it from another angle altogether - deeper global rhythms, dusty Latin cuts, and left-field finds that slot surprisingly well into a funk-heavy night. Together they set the tone before Andy takes it up a level. 🎫 £10 online | £15 OTD
