Club Gauche feat. Sobolik, Mecániko, and Club Chow

CLUB GAUCHE, a night focusing on leftfield sonic explorations with a dancefloor mentality.

gauche (adjective) /ɡōSH/: crude, tacky, or boorish - originating from French meaning 'left'

Think wobbly bass, dollar bin house, off-kilter steppers, & weirdo gems...the idea is to provide a space for bizarre blends, embrace risk taking, and celebrate left turns, 'bad' taste, and embracing faux pas, both outside and within the beloved walls of 4/4 house, bass, & techno
