Pole, Rob Hall and more hit Bleep43, London

Elsewhere, there may be laments about the continuing closures of seminal London clubs, but deep underground, there are still thriving scenes and parties to be found.

One of the most impressive of these is Bleep43, the eight-year-old bi-monthly event run by a small collective of like-minded London residents determined to bring the quality back to the capital’s line-ups.

Now residing at the increasingly-tipped Corsica Studios, Bleep43 has hosted guest spots by everyone from Surgeon to I-F, from Daniel Bell to Convextion, always supported by a committed cast of regularly mind-blowing, lesser-known talents.

Bleep43’s next event, featuring minimal dub don Pole [pictured] and acclaimed Warp / Gescom DJ Rob Hall, takes place on 3rd October at Corsica Studios - we caught up with co-founder Toby Frith to chat about what makes the night special.
