HouseBound

HouseBound returns to Cafe Rene's Cellar Bar on Saturday 7 November, with DJ Mr Yip and Lil' Joey taking the decks. It's a night of house music in the cellar of the Cafe Rene pub on Southgate Street, and for these two, it's a return to a room they know well.

HouseBound goes back to 2011, when Mr Yip and Lil' Joey first started bringing house nights to the area. Over the years the project has played some of Gloucestershire's more musically forward-thinking venues, and this date marks a return to the Cellar Bar, where they've built up a fair few memories. The music they're promising covers the whole house spectrum — funky, soulful, deep, tech, electro, disco, and everything in between — played in the intimate setting of the bar. They run it under the tagline 'No egos. No attitudes. Just a love of House music.'

If you're not sure where that puts them, the list of styles gives you a good idea: it's a broad sweep of house rather than sticking to one corner of it. You'll get the soulful, disco-leaning side of things alongside the deeper, techier stuff, and the electro and funky elements in between. It's a wide net, and the Cellar Bar is a small enough space that you'll be right in the middle of it.

It kicks off at 21:00 on Saturday 7 November at Cafe Rene's Cellar Bar, part of the Cafe Rene Pub & Restaurant at 31 Southgate Street, Greyfriars, GL1 1TP. Admission is free.
