Funk, a big-beat revival for Rowans Hospice and No More Durty Water and reggae legend Lee Scratch Perry in Club Scene with Sam Cherry

Playing funk, disco and hip-hop all around Portsmouth, these two will bring the chilli-con-carnage from 8pm until 1am! Entry is free so it’s a big bonus for those looking for a cheap night out.

Meanwhile over at The Wedgewood Rooms tonight, The Breakdown 20 will celebrate all things big-beat and old schools breaks. Expect plenty of ravey warehouse vibes as four-to-the-floor kick-drums are thrown out for plenty of rolling funky drum breaks, and it’s all in aid of Rowans Hospice and No More Durty Water.

The line-up includes Plump DJs, Jed Nugget, Simon Heartfield, George Spence, Batts, Fly Mix and Mr Foot from 8pm until 2am. Tickets are £10 with more details at wedgewood-rooms.co.uk.

Tomorrow at Acapulco on Albert Road, DJ Warren returns with his free residency Loco, promising a vibe-filled evening of retro soul, funk, disco, house and tasty Balearic grooves from 7pm until 12.30am.

On Sunday, The Wedgewood Rooms, also on Albert Road, has a very special guest in the form of dub/reggae legend: Lee Scratch Perry! Regarded as an innovator for his dub production techniques, he is still performing at 83!

His newer material explores the deep themes of extra-terrestrials, judgement, justice, corruption and self-proclamation. Expect plenty of sub-bass, dub-delays and hype as an absolute Jamaican legend graces Portsmouth. Very exciting indeed! Tickets cost £22.50, doors 7.30pm until 11pm. wedgewood-rooms.co.uk.

Next Thursday, Beats and Swing continue their momentum at The Wedgewood Rooms with the return of The Dub Pistols and special guests The Ragga Twins and Tom Mayhem.
