    This event takes place across two venues, will feature film screenings, a DJ set from hotly tipped producer Artifact and some popcorn (three flavours).

    ARTIFACT //

    A new generation of producers from Bristol is emerging. When Artifact's "Archaic Line" came out at the beginning of this year Resident Advisor's Andrew Ryce called it "one of those moments where an artist is finally realizing his potential all at once".

    Artifact, with releases on Local Action, his own Deadplate imprint and mastering that "twitchy technoid brand of bass music compatible with both modern deep house and the old Chicago stuff", has turned himself into one of the most hotly tipped young musicians down south.

    Working in Germany and growing up in Bristol, a city on the map with Julio Bashmore, Eats Everything and Futureboogie flying the nest over the last few years, gives the young Deadplate producer all the right influences.

    What to expect? As he puts it best, Artifact brings techno footwork and that bass-heavy garage vibe.

    A LA FU //

    Since his early schoolings in the arts of DJing, A La Fu’s skillful endeavor’s soon saw him leave his hometown of Aberdeen to showcase his work in numerous places throughout Europe, Australia, the U.S. and the Middle East, settling for a while in London after having performed at London’s Fabric where he was asked to join the Big Dada label in the role of tour and resident DJ.

    A La Fu then became resident at Big Dada’s hugely missed GOSH! night at Plastic People as well as touring and performing globally with Roots Manuva, Mike Ladd and almost all the artists on the roster. He has recorded for both Big Dada and Ninja Tune with remix work for Coldcut, Saul Williams and Juice Aleem, recorded the Well Deep series, and also produces the labels official podcast.

    Amongst his more prestigious accolades, A La Fu was nominated for, and won, a new music award in 2008 from the BBC, has appeared several times on MTV and other networks, notably alongside DJ Kool Herc illustrating the art of DJ’ing, performed for Radio 1’s ‘In New DJ’s We Trust’ and more recently on the Mary Anne Hobbs’ Xfm show. After competing against the Scratch Perverts at the first ever DMC Team Finals, A La Fu then performed at Glastonbury at the request of the Perverts and in the last ten years has held various residencies around the world including Glasgow’s world famous Sub Club.

    KRAZZY MARTIN //

    Leader of the pack, head of Everything Else Sucks, general shit stirrer and all round good guy. This gig was made for him.

    Thursdays are no longer empty at Snafu, Hot City has filled a spot on what we might call the start of the weekend. Every Thursday Hot City residents will play the finest in disco, italo, house and electro.

    Zine Release // 19 April

    Our disco-electro-italo-house-synth-NRG-party baby Hot City has some exciting news this month, graduating from sleepy Sundays to a breezy Thursday evening. It just had too much energy for a Sunday night and now becomes the perfect way to kick start your weekend early. Over the last few months Hot City has welcomed Erol Alkan (Disco 3000), Rory Philips (Durrr), Minival, Josh Jones, Hush Puppy, Youlap, Maryvillians, Delusions of Grandeur and MWX. This high standard of cosmic boogie will be a mainstay as Snafu offer the city an alternative option on Thursdays.

    Their first Thursday party will coincide with the new edition of Hot City's Zine - read about time travel, long lost veroucas, the new Chromatics album 'Kill for Love', DOLFiNZ interview, see some artwork and much much more! Come down for the release party to grab a copy.

    Blog Launch // 03 May

    Hot City will also be launching into the blogosphere in celebration of its move to Thursdays, opening a space where the DJs, staff and customers can post tracks and photos, images and articles relating to the night. The blog will act as a creative outlet for people to connect and share similar to the Zine, except online and more mobile. The following week led by resident MWX, the Hot City crew release their latest edition of their successful ZiNE venture upon the world with artwork, articles, charts and guest reviews. Look out for copies across Aberdeen at EARL, The Athenaeum, Project Slogan and Snafu.
