I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Mongrel is a party in Bristol full of reggae styles, befuddled jungle beats and bass but all mashed up and mixed about. We're a hybrid beast bringing jungle, breakcore, d’n’b, reggae, ragga, bashment and other sounds which are good for your ears. Behind the beast are SVENGALI- churning out some heavy new skool jungle sounds, darkside d’n’b and breakcore, along with a few old skool flavours thrown in for old times sake; PORKCHOP- providing some serious bassanddrumandrumandbass pressure and DJ TELE who plays a range of reggae stylings in room two, from roots right thru to dancehall. The opening nights took place at THE CROFT back in February 2006 with a monthly Thursday shindig. In June we expanded our horizons and took Mongrel for a walk round the corner to LAKOTA for a three-room extravaganza. Since then Mongrel has been bringing some of the best breakcore and jungle artist from all over the place with room two bouncing to Bristol's finest reggae and bashment djs. Most of our shows have taken place in BLUE MOUNTAIN CLUB in Stokes Croft. In November '06 we started the offshoot night MONGREL PUP at THE TUBE with all the usual Mongrel family and Bristol's best turning up for this more laid back affair. Whilst Svengali was away exploring South America other elements of the Mongrel beast have come to the forefront with Tele and Porkchop putting on two nights at TIMBUK2- first with a massive dancehall driven event and then a dnb extravaganza. With Sven back in the fold tho Mongrel has returned to its relentless pace with some huge events over the last few months featuring the likes of Enduser, Limewax, Dom&Roland, Gein, Loxy and Ink. Our massive new years eve event at The Black Swan has paved the way for a busy 2009. In February we celebrated our 3rd birthday with a massive dnb and breakcore mashup. If that wasn't enough we squeezed in another party at the at the end of the month with dancehall legend David Rodigan, upstairs was bouncing with the sounds of iTAl tEK, Broken Note and Pinch. Our next event is set to be a belter with the likes of SPL, Jamie Vex'd, DJ Trace and Scorn all representing. We're always keen to meet kindred spirits.... anyone interested in playing at a night, providing visuals, or just coming along, should get in touch right away ............................................................ ..............LET YOUR DOGS AND YOUR BITCHES OUT THE YARD, LET THEM BREED, MoNgReL..................................................... .......................**
