Dig Deeper will be hosting their launch party featuring The Nextmen next Friday 7th October at the H&H.

Unless you have fallen lifeless somewhere thru the cracks you’ve more than likely witnessed Cambridge come Londoners The Nextmen, also known as Brad Baloo and Dom Search, at one of their many sweaty styled-out club sets, festival-smashing performances or heard their incendiary mixtapes, some just days old and some many years since they were recorded, that are still filling the ears of the blissed out masses who just want to kick back or kick up with big boss tunes, not wipe the irony from their chins from the up-chuck of resoundingly vapid faux counter-culture buffoonery.The Nextmen are not the center of cool for the next five minutes. Beloved the globe over by dedicated followers of music not dedicated followers of fashion, loving of the good groove irrespective of genre but not of taste.

This eclectic production duo continue to carve up shiny gems from London’s lovely low-end underbelly with albums, singles, mixes, remixes, podcasts, DJ sets and live shows, blending anything worth listening to from all electronic music styles. Making this connection between music they love be it dancehall, drum’n’bass, dubstep, reggae, roots, instrumental and actual hip hop, soul and soulful low-end boomp, funk & (UK) funky, indie, leftfield, ambient, pop and straight-up party jacking pleasers, is something Baloo and Search always strive to achieve, weaving their way on 4 turntables with mastery and abandon, all laced up with their own sought after mash-up edits, bootlegs and specials. Check out their single ‘Round of Applause below;

We’re pleased to announce that Rhino and The Ranters will be headlining their own show at the H&H fresh from their stand our performance at this years Kings Heath Street Festival.

Rhino & The Ranters play a full-bodied, flavourful maelstrom of CowPunk/Gospel/Blues, with a raucous live set full of original compositions. The Ranters have consolidated their position as one of Birmingham’s most highly regarded live acts this summer with appearances at Lunar festival in June and a storming show headlining stage two at Moseley Folk festival. This year has also seen the release of a new EP “Half Quixote” which has been well received, picking up some rave reviews and radio plays.

New guitarist Andy Pell has been recruited to join frontman Ryan Webb (voice, guitar, banjo, harmonica) alongside some of the city’s finest musicians. Mandolin virtuoso Loz Kingsley and sticksman Pete Hammond (formerly of the Au Pairs) signed up in 2014 and were soon joined by Richard March (ex Pop will Eat Itself and Bentley Rhythm Ace) on stand up bass, completing the current line up.

Ryan’s energetic and charismatic performances are complemented perfectly by Loz’s inventive and melodic playing and one of the most experienced rhythm sections in town. From 50s style ballads, through swampy blues to pumped up rockers, Rhino and the Ranters are guaranteed to get the crowd moving and the temperature rising.

Support is from garage rock maestros The Terror Watts who are building a reputation as one of Brum’s most exciting new bands. Advance £7 tickets are on sale now, you can get hold of yours by clicking here. 

We’re delighted to announce that Circles will be bringing Roni Size back to the H&H on Saturday 12th November.

Roni Size’s whole life has been about building something new from whatever was around him. From Bristol youthclub parties, through the white heat of rave and the foundational moments of jungle and drum’n’bass, to transforming underground electronic music into something that could be played by a live band on the biggest arena and festival stages, he has at each stage created completely afresh not just a sound or style but an entire methodology of how music can be made. And each time, that new creation has reflected his heritage, his surroundings and the precise moment in which he’s operating. It’s maybe easy to forget given his relative absence from the limelight in the past decade or so, but Roni is one of the people who distilled the very essence of British music, and is responsible for the way our nation sounds to this day.
