Get ready to channel your inner “barely surviving the 9-5” with a night you’ll totally forget come Monday. It's the ultimate Office Christmas Party – except you actually want to go to this one…it’s Bluetooth Bangers.

We’re decking the halls with photocopied memes, awkward mistletoe placements, and questionable tinsel choices. And the music? Every Christmas banger you've ever screamed along to in the back of an Uber. Yes, Mariah WILL be there (maybe), and we might even bust out a microphone for the odd karaoke singalong.

Dust off your office attire, rock that tacky Christmas jumper, or come dressed as an intern with too much holiday spirit. Bonus points for anyone who shows up in full turkey clobber.

Don’t worry, there’s no actual work involved here. We’ve got holiday cheer, disposable cameras, zero accountability, Christmas games, and enough cocktails to make even the Grinch party.

Merry f\*\*\*ing Christmas x

This is an 18+ event

We'll be fitting as much of this into Lakotas main room as we can get in there, we'll also be putting the DJs up in the crows nest for this event as you won't be seeing any of the stage.

Brace yourself for - The Great Wall Of Ligwa.

TNA, or The New Age, is one of the most significant combos in contemporary drum 'n' bass.

With a fluid membership that's included the legendary DJ Dominator, the line-up has now crystallised into Grima, Azza, and Nu Elementz. And, they've ripped up the rulebook.

You see, when the various members of TNA first came on the scene, working their way through room 3s, room 2s, and warm-up sets, no one could have imagined the heights they would achieve. With the standard route to headliner status taking a decade or more, it requires something special to accelerate the process. But, the combination of Nu Elementz' high-energy jump-up beats with Azza and Grima's innovative flow and ultra-contemporary lyrical content came at exactly the right moment.

And, undeniably, TNA have struck a chord with a generation of ravers. Within just a few years, to go from barely-known to selling out parties purely on the strength of their name is unprecedented. But that's how the TNA boys do things. These days, if you put their brand on a rave, it's a guaranteed roadblock.

As one of the first crews to explicitly put emcees at the forefront, Grima and Azza's ruthlessly original flows, near-telepathic back-to-back combinations, and true-to-life writing are the scaffolding on which TNA's style is built. Add in Nu Elementz, one of the drum 'n' bass scene's most sought-after and dancefloor-devastating producers, and the live TNA experience has to be witnessed to be believed. No wonder each appearance at events like Westfest, Sunbeatz, or Innovation in the Sun, secures them a whole new gang of fans.

At this point, TNA can do no wrong. Grima, Azza, and Nu Elementz are known around the world, everywhere heavyweight dancefloor DnB is appreciated. With a head-spinning diary of bookings and original music on its way from all three members, the TNA revolution continues.

With an innate appreciation for a wide spectrum of electronic music genres, Meg has honed her unique sound, that seeks to evoke emotions through driving basslines and synth-rich compositions. This musical individuality has earned her significant acclaim, backed by industry heavyweights such as HAAi and Solomun, plus a tonne of radio support from Jaguar, Tom Ravenscroft, Danny Howard and others.

Meg’s presence on stage is nothing short of a spectacle: she brings a perfect amalgamation of high-octane energy and infectious personality to every performance.

Lewis Taylor, a 23-year-old house DJ from Newcastle, is making waves with his understated presence and reputation as an incredible selector. His globally acclaimed "Party Trax" series has drawn praise from dance music icons like Patrick Topping, Job Jobse, and Palms Trax. With releases on Trick and X Coast's Riviera Records, Lewis is firmly establishing himself as one of house music’s most exciting rising stars.

More support TBA

Original Sin AKA Adam Tindall is one of the undisputed kings of the Jump Up Drum and Bass Sound. Originally part of the revered G-Dub production duo, he produced such classics as ‘Tink Ya Bad’, ‘Touch Me’ and ‘Les Miserables’ alongside fellow producer Subzero. Sin went solo back in 2008 and slowly began carving a reputation in his own right as one of the true lords of the Jump Up.

Known for his high-energy performances and innovative production style, Original Sin has carved out a niche for himself in the crowded drum and bass landscape. His signature sound blends elements of jungle, dubstep, and hardcore to create a unique and dynamic sound that is instantly recognizable and hits hard on the dancefloor.

Joining him we have Majistrate, another absoute O.G. in the jump up game. Majistrate has released music on some of the scene's most respected labels, including Low Down Deep and Playaz, and his work has garnered support from top DJs across the globe.

Support form Clarky, Avie and Elsie. If you love jump-up, you'd be mad to miss this one.

The game's about to change with this showcase. No cap. No hype. Just cold hard facts.

On one mic, there's a veteran with twenty-seven years of service among the top echelons of the drum 'n' bass scene whose legendary status is already assured.

On the other, there's a young upstart rhymer who spat one verse on a live stream, shut it down, and immediately jumped from unknown to one of the most talked about artists in the game.\]

And they just happen to be father and son. You see, this is already a movie script and they've barely got going.

Eksman's art was born in rave culture – where crowd-hyping has always been paramount – and over the years he's been a driving force in adding layers of depth, complexity, and showmanship to the emcee's toolbox. J Mulla's path, however, has been focused on recording tracks, drawing on influences from drill, and crafting verses with flows and patterns that DnB has never seen before.

One style born on the stage, the other in the studio. You can see why this is such a big deal. It's a showcase of two different generations of UK emcee blended and fused into one electrifying drum 'n' bass performance.

General Levy is one of the most dynamic and influential figures in the UK reggae, jungle, and drum & bass scenes. Known for his unparalleled energy, rapid-fire flow, and infectious charisma, Levy's contributions to British music have earned him international recognition and a dedicated fanbase.

His fusion of reggae roots with the bass-heavy sounds of jungle and drum & bass has helped shape the sound of these genres, while his big hits remain iconic anthems to this day.

The track that catapulted Levy into stardom was “Incredible” (1994), a collaboration with UK jungle producer M-Beat. “Incredible” became a massive hit, crossing over into the mainstream and dominating the airwaves.

He's one of the smoothest MC's in the game and there's absolutely no one else we'd rather have on stage this Valentine's spreading the love, basslines and good vibes around the club. ❤️
