unorthodox launch: lGBTQ+ drum & bass clubbing
Unorthodox is all about pushing boundaries, exploring new territories and bringing cultures together. Having noticed a major grey area within the UK drum & bass scene, it was time to start asking questions and getting peoples attention. The LGBTQ+ movement within the Drum & Bass scene is suppressed. There is so much that the UK queer scene has to offer; the club nights are awesome, friendly, fun and open places, however the issue is that none of these nights play the music we love.. Drum & Bass. There are many reasons for this, however the aim of Unorthodox is to break down all barriers between the two scenes and start a new movement, where Drum & Bass fans can enjoy a queer events, and queer people can enjoy Drum & Bass. This night is OPEN TO EVERYONE, we encourage you to bring all your friends whether they’re gay, straight, lesbian, bi, trans... We discriminate against no one!
This event is more than just another night, we wan't to create a change in the industry, we wan't to create a space where people can feel free and safe to be who they wan't to be. We'll be using these events to showcase LGBTQ+ Drum & Bass talent, and prove to the community that the Drum & Bass scene is truly queer friendly. What's more we'll be using these events to give back to the LGBTQ+ community: part of proceeds from this event will be going to a deserving LGBTQ+ charity. The rest will go directly back into Unorthodox so we can continue to work on this movement and make the changes in the industry that we envision.
