Placid

@were_going_deep aka Placid & @inn8media joined me live in the @swu.fm studio last Friday with some wicked tunes! For those who don’t know, We’re Going Deep started as a music sharing platform and later evolved into a record label who are now on their 20th release. All of it stems from a love of sharing great music ❤️ I did the first hour and Owain and Paul the second, lots of 90s and 00s house from the likes of Delano Smith, Next Evidence, Raymond Castoldi, Theo Parrish etc 🥰🥰

I know they’re playing at the Prospect Building on October. If you can see Angine De Poitrine, then do. Awesome stuff. Technically way out there. #anginedepoitrine #strangebrew

Hexagain has completed one year around the sun, so it seems only right that the original DJ crew should return in the form of Placid, Dan Hayman and Spinthief. As usual we’ll be infiltrating @the_old_stillage in BS5 on Sat 30th May from 9pm till late. The three Hexselectors will be playing electro, acid, techno and breakbeat all night long, so grab a free ticket if that’s your jam (Headfirst link in the bio). @were_going_deep label boss Placid’s gigging biography has taken him to Detroit, New York, Berlin, France, Spain and Holland as well as Glastonbury and BLOC music festivals. His sets of pure 303-drenched acid are not to be missed. @danhayman_music has played at many well-loved Bristol parties, including Alfresco Disco, Just Jack, and Rituals, to name but a few. Expect crunchy synth lines and squelchy bass. Hexagain creator @thespinthief is a Warp Records enthusiast and expert in real AI from the early 90s. He’ll be bringing his legendary swag bag filled with the latest braindance booty. “Probably the best clubnight / pubnight in St George’s” (Headfirst Editor’s Pick March 2026) Can you crack the code? ⬢⬡ ⬢

A mixed bag with Flo Records - driving arps, slo-mo Balearica, EBM influenced Electro, deep house, breakbeat–IDM fusion & more. The team have been on the dig doing our best to make sure we’ve got something for everyone who walks through the door or lands on our website. Big thanks to our local crew who’ve been putting us onto new labels and artists! Tip for the week - Abacus - The Relics E.P. A timeless balance of groove and emotion. Originally released in 1994 on Chicago’s Prescription Records - this record has gained cult status. Deep & soulful whilst remaining incredibly futuristic sounding.
