Check out Mike’s new vinyl edit release Hot Buttered Soul ‘One Size Fits All’ as part of Community-Disc-O’s brand new release.
https://bit.ly/2Lbw8OA
- So, what is Hot Buttered Soul?
Hot Buttered Soul is an underground night pulling on the sound of lesser-known 70s and 80s cuts through to the present day, encompassing a diverse selection of new edits, embracing the sounds of afro and gospel through to more electronic-based disco and house – and even the odd techno tune. If you come to one of our nights you can expect to hear an eclectic mix of tunes with one or two surprises thrown in.
- So, what is Milk & Sugar?
Milk & Sugar is the high ceilinged, beautiful cafe space situated at the top of a historic staircase in The Old Library by The Hayes. Blue Honey, Groove Theory & The Sure Shot have wanted to use this gorgeous space for a party for a long old time and finally our wish has been granted. We think you’ll love it.

Samy’s first DJ set in Cardiff!
For a decade now, Samy Ben Redjeb’s seminal Analog Africa label has been unearthing the best in both explosive foot-shufflers and hypnotic sauntering treasures from Africa.
It’s achieved more than most in celebrating the rich and diverse heritage of a much misunderstood and overlooked continent.
Samy has spared nothing in his pursuit of choosing authentic and eye-opening choice records. His lifestyle and string of various jobs… from a Life Aquatic sojourn as a diving instructor in Senegal to a stint as a Lufthansa flight attendant crisscrossing the Lagos-Addis Ababa-Accra arc and beyond have all been centered on a passion for crate digging.

Charismatic baritone frontman of Afro Cluster, contributor to tracks by The Allergies, Cut La Vis, and with his own solo back catalogue, Skunkadelic brings the best of the highs and none of the lethargy of his namesake
Dirty Alex (Sound System Set)
We’ve negotiated that Dirty Alex can send the same fire breathing contingent that blew up The Hold Up stage at Hub Fest this summer - a trio of MCs working as one party starting leviathan. Their strong jazz influence with pedigree hip-hop has both tinges of golden era and an undeniable futurism
Alfie Swan
DJ, Beatsmith, and standard bearer for Cardiff electronic music makers, Alfie’s selection and delivery could be defined by the term heavy soul - if even a made up genre could restrict him! Classics and exclusives galore.

Mr Bongo bring eclectic and unexpected Brazilian, Latin, African, Jazz, Soul, Reggae and Psychedelic flavours to the dance-floor with a seemingly bottomless stock of weird and wonderful selections.
It began in Venezuela 30 years ago – filling suitcases with amazing latin records to bring back to Europe. And it continued ever since; private warehouse visits in the US, dusty back street basements in South America, houses and garages in Africa, and lesser-known spots in Europe and Asia.

We’re back in Cardiff’s nicest spot (after a few months break)… soulful sounds for your dancing feet. All night long with your favourite DJs (Veto + Miles Day) x
A Hully Gully joint… To celebrate the middle of summer we’re going strong on the L.A. influence, the music of sunshine barbecues, roller-discos, and the redemption of the ’80s
We’re celebrating the music, influences and legacy of Dam-Funk, the G-Funk and synthesizer aficionado who has pretty much single handedly championed his style of modern soul and bassline boogie until fashions dictated it was allowable again.
To do so we’ve got Cardiff’s finest collectors and selectors on the case to show you just how far reaching The Funk really is

We are delighted to announce that Soundwave Croatia is back for another incomparable five day adventure at one of the world’s most idyllic musical settings. Now in it’s 9th year, Soundwave returns to the magical Garden Tisno where kindred spirits flock to experience one of Europe’s most life-affirming festivals packed full of music, art, film and good vibes.
The tranquil location of Soundwave offers an energising setting where by day your ears are massaged by soothing beats & hip-hop, reggae & dub, blissful world & electronic rhythms, jazz and soul-drenched funk & disco all performed and selected masterfully by some of the worlds best musicians and DJ’s. As the sun sets and day enters night, the intoxicating atmosphere builds into an evening of electric live performances and late night DJ sets packed full of world dance floor grooves, soulful bangers, hypnotic drum and bass & broken beat as well as anything else that fits in with the festivals eclectic musical spectrum.
As always, the (in)famous Soundwave boat parties will be frequently in and out of dock and the hedonistic late night open air club sessions return, all hosted by some of Europe’s prestige club nights. Having been one of the highlights of last year’s festival, we’ll yet again be commissioning some of our favourite artists to transform The Garden into an even more visually stunning setting. When the time comes to energise once more, we have regular film screenings and yoga classes across the five days plus much more
