This Christmas on Saturday 27 December, the hallowed Tramshed presents MandideXMAS, an uncompromising night of drum & bass, jungle and hard tekno curated by the unstoppable Mandidextrous. With very special guest [IVY] and local firestarter Blondy, this is the only Christmas event at Tramshed where the tinsel comes off and the subwoofer comes on for a wholly alternative festive celebration.
Mandidextrous is set to bring a decade-plus career of genre-bending intensity to Tramshed, fusing a set that is equal parts technical, nostalgic and annihilatingly dancefloor-driven. As founder of Amen 4 Tekno Records, releasing on such prominent imprints as Ram Records, and as a music creator for Boomtown Fair, Mandidextrous is a name respected by fans and industry alike. They’ll be making sure ravers in Cardiff don’t forget this Christmas in a hurry when it’s all out bass, not baubles.
Special guest [IVY] will arrive with a bruising, genre-crossing toolkit built on old-school rave energy and contemporary drum & bass finesse. With releases across Hospital Records, Armada, Sony and Warner, and a history steeped in free-party culture, [IVY] will bridge guilty-pleasure bangers and cutting-edge bass cuts, giving the crowd a full-on dancefloor workout.
Finally lining up is Blondy, South Wales’ own jungle and ragga D&B dynamo whose sets move at high velocity between raggatek, jungletek, dub and grime. Blondy’s ties with Concrete Junglists and her own SHWSH collective mean she’s tuned to the local scene and knows exactly what’s going to pop with crowds at Tramshed.
The Grade II listed Tramshed is the perfect setting for MandideXMAS with its industrial, atmospheric space and a sound system that can handle some serious throttle for when these artists arrive in town.
