This Saturday night, Go Bang! hosts the debut Belfast performance of Dublin’s haunted-electonrica wunderkind, Angkorwat. We are super-excited about this show, having been indulging in her darkly beautiful sounds for the past month - have a listen for yourself here and here.

In anticipation of the night, I have put together a mix based on the usual groove of Go Bang! nights - starting off quiet and dark, before letting loose with those weird dancefloor nightmares our crowd seem to love, until it gets all venerational with a bit of Maus at the end.

It is a pretty random selection of stuff that I’ve loved for ages and new things that I’ve just come across in the last few weeks and gives a good representation of what you’re likely to hear at GB!, if you haven’t been before.

Last month at Go Bang! was some of the most fun I have ever had and we’re keeping the party going this month with the debut gig of London/Belfast, Boy/Girl, electro-hustlers Birthday Sex. Sounding like Nite Jewel on an amyl-rush, they have managed to notch-up nearly 300 listens on their SoundCloud in just over a week and will be onstage at 11, ensuring you’ll be dancing by 11.02. 

See you there!
