Club night with DJ Andy Smith, former Portishead concert DJ, at Social Hull.
DJ Andy Smith is playing a club night at Social on Saturday 6 March, with doors opening at 7:30 PM. It's a session presented by Nice Up! Records, and Smith is the only name on the bill.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, the Portishead connection should. Smith spent years as the tour DJ for the Bristol trio, the man responsible for the records that filled the gaps between their live sets and kept the room moving when they weren't on stage. That's a specific kind of role — holding the energy of a room for a band known for their slow-burn, atmospheric sound — and it's the same kind of club set he's bringing here. This isn't a live band performance; it's a DJ set, so the night is built around the records he picks and how he strings them together.
Having him in Hull is a bit of a pull, too. He's not a local regular, so it's one of those nights that doesn't come around often. If you've ever wondered what the warm-up or the wind-down of a Portishead show sounded like, this is the closest you'll get without buying a plane ticket to Bristol. It's a straightforward club night, with Smith on the decks and Nice Up! Records putting it on.
