Bristol BBQ: What you need to know!
It’s that time of year again, when the Hospitality BBQ rolls into Bristol town, for burgers and basslines. The lineup is made up of Hospital Records finest including their brand new signing Kings of the Rollers, whilst True Playaz DJ Hazard, will be this years special guest. Not only is the line up set to be a storm, the BBQ is once again held at the notorious Motion, polled as one of the very best in the world. Excited yet?
We are thrilled to welcome back the Jungle Jam team who are bringing the likes of DJ Marky, Randall, Benny Page and the infamous S.P.Y B2B Nu:tone jungle set. This will be the perfect warm up of what’s to come at Hospitality’s first festival overseas Hospitality on the beach, just minus the sand and the sea but hopefully not the sun!
As well as top quality D+B we also like to provide our ravers with the finest grub, and seeing as it is a BBQ and all, it’s extremely vital that we provide the best food and drink vendors to fuel your dancing feet and excite your taste buds. However, incase your venturing into the city before or after the event, make sure you check these diamonds out.
BEST SPOT FOR GRUB
EDIT
If music and food is the dream combo, make sure you drop into Bristol’s newly opened Edit Bar on Cheltenham Road. As well as delicious food, Edit has a dozen different sound systems dotted all over the bar to create a unique experience for your ears as well as your tongue. If you want a switch from the burgers and hotdogs, too cool for school Edit provides flashy asian small plates and an extensive menu of alcoholic beverages.
BEST FOR THE HANGOVER:
THE BRISTOLIAN
Locals have named it the best fry up in Bristol, which is all you need when you wake up with a banging headache and are craving some serious salt. Not only does it provide a meaty, veggie or vegan fry up, it also has some other appetising breakfast options like Belgian waffles and breakfast ciabatta sandwiches. However, if all that raving got ya good and a normal fry up just isn’t enough, order their famous Bristolian challenge, a HUGE version of their original fry up which many have failed to finish.
(ONE OF THE) BEST BURGER(s):
BURGER THEORY
With the number of burger restaurants it is impossible to narrow it down, however, Burger Theory is definitely up there! It has a menu packed full of choice and each burger is even more packed with fillings! This is the joint with no limit and the perfect place to visit if you want a mammoth burger brimmed with the wildest of fillings. It is based on Saint Stephens Street just around the corner from the Bristol Hippodrome. If you do drop in, The Sheriff and The Down n’ Dirty are absolute winners.
BEST PLACE FOR A TIPPLE:
THE LOVE INN
Chill in the day then party at night. That’s how The Love Inn rolls. By 11 o’clock it turns into a club which holds some of the grooviest nights in the city. As well as a wide variety of spirits, wines and beers, the love inn also has their own versions of classic cocktails which are not to be missed (especially their glorious ‘Rum Tickler ’). Whether you’re going there to warm up for the main event, or for the heir of the dog, this place will ignite your inner party animal with its upbeat atmosphere and funky surrounding.
I think it’s safe to say that you just cannot beat burgers, beer and bass in the Bristol sun. So get your skates on and grab a ticket now to avoid missing out on this spectacular day. Get involved, get your pals involved and get your taste buds involved otherwise you’ll be missing out BIG time (and you know it).

Locked in the Dock: History Lessons
Since the dawn of rave, it’s safe to say that there has been one genre that has always been the undisputed champion. We’re talking, of course, about Jungle. In the early 90s, we were blessed with a sound like no other. Punchy Amen breaks, weighty basslines and mad samples graced our warehouses and sound systems. With the likes of Kenny Ken, Randall, Fabio & Grooverider, Aphrodite and Micky Finn all championing this new sound.
Here at Hospital, we are linking up with the mighty Jungle Jam for the next Hospitality in the Dock event on the 30th of March 2018. Jungle Jam has been jamming jungle out to the masses since 2005. Starting out in Leeds to then putting on events that span up and down the U.K. and even with events covering across parts of Europe, these guys really know how to rinse it out proper!
DJ Randall : History Lesson
First up, we are delighted to have the DJ that we all know and love, DJ Randall, Mr Too-hot-too-handle. Randall will be teaching us all a lesson or two in the long history of Drum and Bass at the dock this year. Having been around since the birth of Jungle, Randall‘s no stranger when it comes to spinning out an old-skool set. His mixing skill and tune selection are second to none which makes him the perfect DJ to guide us through the many years of Drum & Bass music.
30 years of: Micky Finn & Aphrodite
Next, we have the mighty Micky Finn going B2B with Aphrodite. Its safe to say that these two are bonafide jungle legends and will be guiding us through the 30 years of their iconic Urban Takeover label and beyond. Having both been in the game for a very long time and pretty much pioneering the genre, there couldn’t be Jungle without the Finn and Aphrodite. Most notably In 1996, they teamed together in production and released their iconic DnB anthem, Badass. A track that continues to destroy dance floors whenever it gets played to this day. This set is definitely one not to be missed!
Krust: Warhead era classics set
Finally touching down to grace the Jungle Jam stage we have the Bristol don that is none other than DJ Krust. During the late 90s and early 2000s, Krust was bombarding the scene with his heavy style of Drum & Bass that was never heard before on his and Roni Sizes’ label Full Cycle Records. Tunes like ‘Don’t Front’ and ‘Break ya Neck’ to name a few. But ultimately everybody who knows their D&B will think of one tune and one tune only when they hear Krusts name. That tune is Warhead. Released back in 1997 on V Recordings. The tune was an instant classic and was getting dropped by every DJ at every rave across the U.K., putting Krusts name firmly on the Drum & Bass map for good!
Catch the man himself doing a ‘Warhead Era’ classics set alongside so many other original junglist dons. Less than a month to go now, calling all junglists, your time is now!
