Platform 11, Pontypridd
Sat 7 Oct
They love chunky house and tech sounds up Pontypridd. In fact, have a smoking area chat at any of Cardiff’s big 4/4 events and you’ll discover that many of the clientele have made the trip down on the Arriva valley line train for the evening. So, it only makes sense to have something for Ponty’s jack-hungry populace to get stuck into on their own doorstep, and indeed, perhaps tempt some of the spoiled-for-choice punters in the city to the south up for the night.
For this instalment of the series of parties, Platform 11 welcome London-based Jess Bays, who’s signed to Defected mainstay Sam Divine’s Divine Sounds label. She’s been causing quite the commotion this summer with a series of rapturously received appearances at in Croatia and Ibiza, as well as an autumn schedule which will see her play at the Warehouse Project in Manchester and XOYO in London. So, it represents quite the coupe that the Platform 11 crew have secured her able services. She’s already played on KissFM and Rinse, plus supported the likes of Claude VonStroke and the Hot Creations lads, so her career is on a ridiculously rapid upwards trajectory. Catch her while you can.
Tickets: £5. Info: www.platform11.co.uk (KD)
