Swing & Bass 10 Year Anniversary (London)

A ten-year anniversary night from the Swing & Bass party series, staged at Hootananny Brixton in London, combining swing samples with bass-heavy club music across five sets.

Swing & Bass is a party series built on heavy basslines layered with samples drawn from the 1920s to the 2020s. For this anniversary night the programme mixes established favourites from the series with tracks from the past decade and new material prepared for the occasion. The line-up pairs DJs and producers in back-to-back sets: Chris Tofu with Debbralee Wells, DJ Business Lady with Direct Debbie, Fizzy Gillespie with Dan de'Lion, Mista Trick with She's Got Brass, and Mr Fitz with Mr Woodnote. Mista Trick and She's Got Brass bring a live horn section to their set, and Mr Fitz and Mr Woodnote feature a live saxophonist.

The organisers describe the night as a festival atmosphere moved indoors, with the emphasis on playful, high-energy music. The sets range from swing and funk to drum and bass, UK garage and house, so the evening moves across several club styles rather than a single genre. Chris Tofu's set is billed as a meeting of festival-circuit dance music and gospel vocals.

Hootananny Brixton is a live music and club venue in London, where the series returns for this one-off celebration on a single weekend.
