Saturday 19th September - Kommen

Nonna Fab, the force behind the incredible Movement and Soul records and one half of Apricot Ballroom teams up with Vinyl Richiee of RECØMPØSE for another Eastern Bloc night championing their deeper electronic cuts, broken beats and dancefloor obscurities.

RECØMPØSE is one of Sheffield’s most in-demand nights with them selling out every event of their gnarly electronica nights housed in a Chapel on top of a crypt in the middle of a Graveyard.

Apricot Ballroom should need no introduction to the devoted dancefloor’ee. Their late night hi-fi party recently saw them take the roof off The Sett stage at Wildwood festival and their long running night (coming up to 9 years) continues to go from strength to strength.

If the last time these two played together at Eastern Bloc is anything to go by this one is seriously not to be missed!

LEN LEWIS HAT-TRICK ⚽

Three essential cuts from back in the racks, digging deep into the golden era of 90s UK Tech House.

Joy / Skip Up
Two stripped, rolling Lewis productions originally released in 1999 and now given a long-overdue reissue.

Lost Remix EP
Four versions from the Lost archives, packed with swung drums, basslines and the late-night groove that made this era of UK club music so distinctive.

Jack Bags – Dirty Rhythm
Another sought-after Lewis production back on wax, operating firmly in that heads-down, after-hours zone.

Three records from one of the key producers of the original UK Tech House sound, sounding just as useful in the club nearly three decades later.

Available online and instore.
