Clubs of the Week ft Young Turks takeover w Sampha, Flying Lotus + more

Thu 12 Dec | Sampha | Soup Kitchen
Young Turks record label take over the Soup Kitchen cellar this Thursday for a special one-off event. I saw Sampha play at Hoya a few months back and was really impressed by how well-rounded of a DJ he was – which can be rare for somebody primarily known as an artist. Support comes in the shape of NTS Radio’s Tasker.

Fri 13 Dec | Flying Lotus | WHP
This is easily the best lineup for WHP this time round. Obviously the main focus is Flying Lotus (pictured) and his Captain Murphy alias, but he’s surrounded by really great DJs: Kutmah, J-Rocc, Eclair Fifi and loads more. It isn’t cheap, but if there’s any date to go and check out WHP this year, this is the one. We have a competition to win two tickets – head here to enter.

Sat 14 Dec | Hyper Grotto Jam ft Wet Play DJs | 2022NQ | noon-6pm
Not strictly clubbing, but there are loads of ace DJs playing here throughout the day. Local designer Lisa Stannard showcases some of her latest work with all kinds of shirts, prints and jewellery on sale, to a soundtrack provided by a heavy Wet Play/Full Beam contingent.

Sat 14 Dec | Hotmilk | The Roadhouse
Even if you’ve only got a passing interest in reggae, do yourself a favour and get down. Each one is an education without a hint of pretension about it. This month features Felix Hall, a local revival specialist.
Tickets: £3 OTD before 12, £5 after
