Guerilla B Side....are you ready for it?!
We're hitting Brighton beachside for the last of the Summer sun _this_ Thursday.
Its gonna be one of the last times you're going to be able to party on the beach and most importantly it'll be for the greatest cause.
Music will be supplied by Brighton's best label DJ's Mr Bongo. Featuring Greymatter, DMC finalist Phat Kev and David "Bongo" Buttle. That's right!
We actually managed to convince the main man to come down and perform a one off set, his first in Brighton this year, his payment will involve alcohol so please feed him and on our behalf.
The evening will be epic and a great way to see off the summer, we really hope see you there (nice and early for the sunshine)!

HELLO. We are Bottletop.
Bottletop is a dynamic charity run by young people for young people. We fund youth education projects with a particular emphasis on sexual health, across the developing world, as well as the UK. We don't do this through donations of sympathy, but instead operate as a music and fashion label, making us truly unique. The proceeds from our sales of music and fashion products are used to support small, local, specially selected grassroots education initiatives. The high praise drawn from UN secretary general Kofi Annan and Bill Clinton are a testament to Bottletops success and innovation in the charity sector. If you like what we do and want to support, click here .
The Campaigns
The original Bottletop campaign was a collaboration with fashion house Mulberry and raised in excess of £250'000. Its most recent campaign Sound Affects: Africa produced the highly acclaimed album by the same name, which Bob Geldof and Micheal Eavis have been keen to champion.
Sound Affects
Sound Affects, Bottletops album series, is raising money for inspiring causes through music sales. We are sourcing a diverse range of music from all over the world and remixing it with the help of famous artists, DJs and producers. All proceeds from the sales of the album will be donated to Bottletop. A truly fair trade.
Volume 1: AFRICA
The first in the Sound Affects series draws on rare Afrobeat, salvaged from dusty bars and back rooms in remote par ts of Africa. The original material is primarily from Ghana and Nigeria and dates back as early as the 60s. With the input of world-renowned DJs, the remixed versions cover music ranging from downtempo and blues, to house, techno and broken beat, creating a fresh spin on Afrobeat. Click here to buy the album from itunes.
Look out for Volume 2: Brazil coming soon...
As well as the album, a popular line of clothing and leather accessories was produced, including a new series of the trade mark bottletop bag. This has so far raised over £45'000. Click here to check out our products.
