For the last 15 years, Teachings in Dub has been a staple of the Bristol dub scene and has become one of the longest running club nights in Bristol. Formed by Stryda (Dubkasm) and Pinch at Clockwork Nightclub on Stokes Croft until 2008 when Teachings found its new home here at Trinity.

Dub and soundystem cultures have been an integral part of Bristol’s music scene. During the 1970s and 1980's a DIY culture of soundsystems sprung up, particularly around East Bristol, allowing young people in Bristol to participate in the city’s music scene from the ground up.

Teachings in Dub has allowed for a new generation to participate in Bristol’s history of dub music. Teachings co-founder Stryda writes that the event has “always been about bridging the gap between the older generation and the new and ensuring the culture is maintained and respected but the vibes are passed on”.

"We aim to give elders a space to enjoy the music and vibes they grew up on as well as a window for newcomers to enter a music scene they may have otherwise not even known existed” - Stryda, Teachings in Dub co-founder

Stryda attributes Teachings’ long-standing popularity to providing “an authentic space to experience real undiluted soundsystem vibrations. The Bristol music scene is respected worldwide but is built on Reggae and soundsystem. We aim to give elders a space to enjoy the music and vibes they grew up on as well as a window for newcomers to enter a music scene they may have otherwise not even known existed”.

Teachings has hosted some of the biggest names in dub and roots reggae, including Jah Shakka, Iration Steppas, Channel One Soundystem and Aba Shanti-I, and will host celebrations for 50 Years of Jah Tubby this month on 17 Sep, before celebrating 15 Years of Teachings in Dub on 25 Nov.

Line up:

• Manni Dee: internationally recognized producer of blistering techno, there is more to Manni Dee than his sprawling discography of searing sounds.
• Akiko Haruna: producer, vocalist, and performer who manipulates sound and rhythm into personal, playful and cathartic forms.
• Anina B2B Yokel: Two Bristol mainstays. Young Echo and Livity Sound affiliate Anina, goes head-to-head with Plaque label boss and producer Yokel. Expect distorted beats and low-end experimentalism.

Fuelled by a lack of relatable artists to look up to, the heavy, alt-rock renegades celebrate difference, with songs full of power and fight. Their Mercury shortlisted album, Supernova, plays with genre, textures, and mood, bringing a whole lot of energy and ferocity to their live shows.

Support:

- Witch Fever

- Uninvited

Their obscure mix of psychedelic riffs, mantras, and rock and roll mysticism laughs in the face of 90's Britpop orthodoxy and, combined with their revision of the swirling, guitar-heavy sounds of late 60s psychedelia, brings crowds an energetic, impassioned live experience.

The night welcomes Afrobeats pioneer Juls for his debut headline show, supported by the innovative and percussive Goddess of rhythm Karen Nyame KG, See No Evil, and Peachin’ residents.

In true Electrikal style the line-up is being kept under wraps, with an insane selection of secret headliners to be announced when you get in. Trust us, it's all killer no filler.

Ahead of their day party takeover at Trinity on 27 Aug, we sat down with Club Djembe co-founder Ryan Foster (DJ Stolen) to chat about the label's beginnings, thoughts on the Bristol music scene and what's next for Club Djembe.

Trinity are collaborating with Club Djembe as part of Trinity Presents, our in-house programme celebrating our diverse city and platforming emerging talent, to host a day party in The Den, our new seasonal outdoor venue situated in the historic grounds of Trinity.

How did Club Djembe start?

Ryan: Club Djembe started all through a lack of events within Bristol that were pushing & promoting our music. We were playing UK Funky, Afro House & a lot of percussion led music on radio but never heard/saw of anything happening within the clubs in Bristol, so myself (DJ Stolen) & Jake decided to launch Club Djembe. Luckily for us at the time Josie was working behind the bar at The Love Inn so we managed to throw our first party and it all kicked off from there back in 2017.

What do you think Club Djembe offers to the Bristol music scene?

We know for ourselves and hear from our community that it is hard to find these genres of music in the events scene. Consistency (which is always key), as we guarantee that no night will stray from the vibe and atmosphere that we like to create - we have an open the door attitude and welcome a variety of people/cultures We also want ticket prices and venues to be affordable and accessible for everyone. And mostly, which we are most proud of, is that we love to support and put on new artists, that's something that excites us the most.

What kinds of events do you think are missing from the Bristol club scene?

Bristol has pretty much been the epicentre for Drum & Bass in the UK for as long as I can remember. It’s really refreshing to see a few more nights popping up that are pushing and promoting the same kind of music as us, Amapiano, UK Funky, Afro House like Lockmars for example. However it would be good to see more of these across Bristol, I think a lot of would be promoters get afraid by the prospect of an event not going well, however the best events from our experience are the ones you put on through a love & passion for the music rather than focusing on the monetary side of events.

What's next for Club Djembe?

The remainder of 2022 is looking RAMMED for us can’t lie. We’re throwing our first proper London event in September which is going to be massive, it’s falling inline with the release of our next compilation, Club Djembe Vol. 3 which is also huge! We then have one more release to go for the year which is from one of our favourite Bristol producers and we also have three more Bristol events in the pipeline including a big Christmas knees up with another sick London/Bristol based promoter so keep your eyes firmly planted on Club Djembe socials over the next few months as we have a lot going on.

Club Djembe will be playing at Trinity's outdoor venue The Den on Sat Aug 27. Click here to grab your tickets.

The good vibes ambassador that he is will be joining forces with reggae and punk veteran Don Letts, London RnB/DnB vocalist Catching Cairo, and long-time collaborator and Bristol producer Kreed to deliver a contagious, high energy performance on the "all things bass" specialist Electrikal Sound System.

Brooklyn based, Washington DC born, rapper Oddisee comes backed by his 5-piece band Good Company. Reflecting the rich, musical landscape of their hometown, Oddisee & Good Company bring a vibrant mixture of jazz, funk, go-go, gospel, hip-hop, and soul. This high energy and versatile group have a tight dynamic sound and with their killer guitarist, booming drums, and falsetto vocals they are a catchy and groovy bunch who humbly aim to be heard.

Oddisee's music draws inspiration from his youth, bearing witness to stark inequality as the sights and sounds of Washington DC surrounded him. Since then, he has used his own experiences to reflect on the greater state of humanity, in all its beauty and flaws.
