Where to get your fix this week

Swing & Bass pioneers at The Met and some of the best bands around

Mista Trick Collective Met Lounge, March 11

This high-energy 7-piece swing & bass band was founded by Bristol based DJ, Mista Trick, who is at the forefront of the swing & bass scene across the UK and Europe, and instrumental in developing the popular Swing & Bass record label and club nights in London. After mixing live elements into his remixes, introducing impressive musicians, rappers, and vintage swing vocalists, Elle & The Pocket Belles, the Mista Trick Collective was born.

This musical fusion is in a league of its own, taking swing & bass to the next level. Mixing vintage, vaudeville vibes with distinctly down and dirty drum & bass, the resulting sound is like the lovechild of a wartime knees-up in an underground rave!

There’s also East Angles Brass and the Strictly Soulful DJs.
