… with Gilla (First World Records) & Sure Shot DJs
Bedmo Disco’s showcase of the finest DJ talent from Bristol and beyond gets proper summery with a little taste of Croatia’s Soundwave festival from the man himself, DJ Gilla! Promising everything but the tan, it’s sure to be a good’un.
Founder of First Word Records, promoter, DJ and all-round dancefloor specialist DJ Gilla ‘s passion for giving the music he loves the attention it deserves remains unwavering since starting the label in 2003. A resident at reknowned party spots such as The Hifi Club in Leeds, London’s Bussey Building and Soundwave Festival itself, his sets cover Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz and more. A firm believer in Duke Ellington’s sentiment, “if it sounds good, it is good,” Gilla’s firm foundations in Jazzy Hip Hop beats comes to the fore in his beautifully structured live sets and solid ear for a belter. Whether you’re off to the festival or not, head down and witness Gilla bringing a little bit of the Balkans to Bristol.
