SUMO’s first monthly party was back in 2003 and we’ve never looked back. Promoters Chico Fresco and West One have brought heavyweight guests from the world of breaks and beyond to kick up a storm at the award-winning ClwbIforBach since that memorable night...
Our second birthday party at Cardiff SU’s Great Hall was the largest breaks event South Wales has seen, "Crowning SUMO’s meteoric and thoroughly deserved rise to the big time" [DJ Mag, Dec 05]. They also said it was "Tasty". They should’ve seen the third and fourth birthdays - Sumo’s put on a few stone since then!
SUMO’s increasing notoriety lead to a nomination for Best Club Night at the 2004 Welsh Music Awards, a place in the top 8 breaks nights in the world at Breakspoll 2006 followed and in the 2007 awards Sumo was nominated for the Best Small Club award... But balls to the silverware as long as the parties carry on being dirty rotten fun.
Previous guests include: Dylan Rhymes, Stanton Warriors, Hybrid, Plump DJs, Koma & Bones, Vandal, BLIM, Atomic Hooligan, Krafty Kuts, D Ramirez, Meat Katie, Aquasky v Masterblaster, DJ Yoda, Soul of Man, Elite Force, Jean Jacques Smoothie, Hyper, Phantom Beats, Drumattic Twins, Rennie Pilgrem, Autobots, Robosapiens, Kosheen... the list gets longer.
Room 2 comes courtesy of dirty house afficionados ZeroZero with their trusty residents and the best in local talent.
Our events fall on the second Friday of every month and we’re armed with a green lazer and some seriously heavy beats. Get ready to rumble!
