Then spellbound by the sparks zipping of the vinyl as Caustic Disko, DJ mutes, Clint Parsnip, Mikael Trifle, Tuppeny Warlok and Needy Daft Klump electrified the vinyl.To top off a supremely hellish night we bumped into visual partner, VJ Ultra, who also features in this film.Nice one Ultrabreaks!

UltraBreaks return to Club Bijou with a bang !

With it being the SATURDAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN, we thought it was time to host a MUTANT FANCY DRESS SPECIAL to welcome in the 'witching season'....So all you vamps, zombies, weirdos and assorted freaks need to get yourselves down here, we've got some killer live ROCK, PUNK, METAL, and the UNFATHOMABLE, er how can i describe it.. something like PSYCHNOWAVEGARAGEFUNKHIPHOPBREAKS DJ action spread over two rooms, all on the same night!!!... anyone who came to the amazing HAIRY ANIMALS DISKO night will know the deal is here with the DJ's!

Ok, first of all Room 1 will be bouncing to the deranged chaos that are HATERS and DOCTOR NUT.

HATERS play loud, hard and fast (very!) and are influenced by bands like Billy Talent & The Hives and push the boundries of common courtesy when it come to lyrics (where they're often about pirates, drunkness, dreadful sex and even worse dental care!!) the guys are playing A CLOCKWORK ORANGE THEMED SET, and would like to announce that anyone who comes dressed the part to join in will get a free CD, what a lovely bunch of fellas!

Dr Nut play really bizarre alternative rock set, highly Cardiacs influenced mixed with medi-evil tomfoolery & bonkers lyrics. expect much 'owling about' (you'll have to come to find out what means) and maybe even some norwegian black metal, just for good measure.

If all that isn't enough or doesn't float your boat (you weirdo) Room 2 recoils to return of the CAUSTIC DISKO DJ muties CLINT PARSNIP, MIKAEL TRIFLE, TUPPENY WARLOK and NEEDY DAFT KLUMP who'll dumfound the finest dancers in town with their klonked out brand of crate digging obscurities, old skool funk, charity shop bargains and left field psych oddities, plus the added attraction of our 'King of the telly's' VAUGHN JUBLEES and his bonkers visuals set-up, it's the perfect sideshow distraction.

***SPECIAL OFFER***: We've partnered up with fancy dress specialists ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS of Bath Street, Frome who are generously offering a 10% discount for this night.. just say "UltraBreaks" when hiring your gear!

Ultrabreaks night Here we go again!!!

Here we go again!!!

Sticking true to our promise that we want to remain the biggest and most varied night out in town, and to help heat up the final days of summer/early autumn or whatever it is, this month we've drafted in some specialist bass selectors to rock the house in room 1.

Presenting DJ's SPEC-K, LIGHTSIDE, DEPHECT, MR L and guests, the cream of the Frome bass driven scene dropping the biggest, murderous b-lines on the dancefloor..i'm sure most of you guy's know what this means.. BOOM!

Room 2 witnesses residents DJ BARRY BREAKS & VJ ULTRA dropping their funked out brand of dancefloor funk and beats and visual gems, GHETTO FUNK STYLE!
There's also a fantastic opportunity to catch a rare DJ set from INVISIBLE SYSTEM head honcho DAN HARPER.. we'd need a whole day of your life to list Dan's many achievements as a super-talented-musician, so to give you an idea about what he's playing, it's likely to be a modern bridge between Ethiopia, Jamaica and the UK in his own way, with the decks, laptops, CDJ's, maybe even a coffee machine. Just as well he know's his way around a range of kit!
No doubt about it, it's worth the visit on it's own if you ask us.
Be sure to check out the INVISIBLE SYSTEM facebook page too, and marvel at the amount of extremely well known musicians he collaborates with, and keeps in full time work.. it's dang impressive!

Also in the house will be local hip-hop madman DOCTOR HOOKA, back setting the scene with some killer boom-bap!

The previous UltraBreaks nights have packed out the venue, two rooms full of bouncing people. Be sure not to miss out on what is guaranteed to be another amazing night.

UltraBreaks Party!

We're back!

Following a massive series of unmissable parties at Bijou DJ BARRY BREAKS & VJ ULTRA host another big night of madness back at the scene of the awesome HAIRY ANIMAL DISKO PARTY, and the mighty GRINGO SKA gig at BIJOU.. with a chunky night of BIG GHETTO FUNK BEATS and a HYPED VISUAL SHOW in room 1.

The boys are joined on the night by local legends (fromepeople.com local legend winners 2011) THE WHEEL OF FOUR TUNES who'll be taking over room 2, hosted by DJ SPIN & MC TIPPERCOOL.. for anyone out there who hasn't had the pleasure of seeing these guys before, we'll leave it up to the them to describe what they do:

The Wheel decides your musical fate. Where will it land?
Dubstep - Love songs? House - Metal? Ska - 60s? Motown - Drum & Bass?
A Spandex clad tag team dance like maniacs to random party music.
This show wins hearts, blows minds, & leaves people dazed, bewildered, yet extremely content.

Plus we're also showcasing further Special Guest DJ's on the night who'll be setting the scene with a funked up set of BOOTY SHAKERS, and BANGING BEATS..

We reckon it's going to be another proper smasher!

Continuing the solid start to 2011 we're back with our BIGGEST jam yet, and a night that promises to be packed with mad twists-and-turns at what is fast becoming known as the HEAVIEST social night out in Frome, there's a LOT to get through here so i'll crack on..

Tonights very special guests are the magnificent HAIRY PARENTS. This LEGENDARY WEST-COUNTRY HIP HOP collective have consistantly been masters of their craft for years, ( local b-boys of advancing years may recognise this crew from previous incarnations as TRANSCRIPT CARRIERS, PARLOUR TALK, UNDIVIDED ATTENTION and ALL CREATURES) with an top drawer back catalogue including the highly acclaimed PARLOUR TALK album 'Padlocked Tonic' which is considered by many in the industry to be one of the BEST UK HIP HOP ALBUMS EVER..
Sadly this is both a reunion and the LAST TIME THEY PLAY TOGETHER as a unit, for reasons best explained in their own words "Failed Severn Valley Enterprise faces the harsh realities of commerce" The whole band are coming to town, so it's a huge privilege to welcome them back to Frome ...

Musics: Quinby, Ieuan, Shepherd.
Dex: Name, Finestyler, Beanz.
Vox: Spye, Majesta, Deed.

If that wasn't enough, we're also honoured to present Fromes original minimalist post punk band ANIMALS AND MEN, who recorded some classic singles in the early eighties that were distributed by Rough Trade, and picked up positive reviews in NME. With a heavy and sparse garage soundscape not too dissimilar to an early Velvet Underground (in my humble opinion!) or in the bands own words "Somerset post punk pioneers and d-i-y - from the early 80s and now " A&M are hailed as an influence on many of todays post punk bands, they're now back with new material and are on their final UK stop before flying out to San Francisco to play a series of stateside gigs ... it promises to be explosive!

Band Members

Guitar: Ralph Mitchard
Vox: Susan Wells
Drums: Geoff Norcott
Bass: Paul Boswell

Our triple-point of madness concludes in Room 2 where the CAUSTIC DISKO DJ muties CLINT PARSNIP, MIKAEL TRIFLE, TUPPENY WARLOK and NEEDY DAFT KLUMP will be dumfounding the finest dancers in town with their klonked out brand of crate digging obscurities, old skool funk, charity shop bargains and left field psych oddities, plus the added attraction of our 'King of the telly's' VAUGHN JUBLEES and his bonkers visuals set-up, we reckon it's the perfect sideshow distraction.

This line up 's a serious coup for the town so miss this and it's gone people, time to represent!

We're expecting this Jam to be packed out (and rightly so!) so get on down there early to make sure you get in, and save a few bob.

With residents DJ BARRY BREAKS & VJ ULTRA joined on the night by DJ's DEPHECT & RICH B on the decks spinning the FUNKIEST funky FUNK WOBBLERS through to rolling DRUM & BASS, this night is all about BIG SOUNDS, BIG VISUALS and a BIG SYSTEM!
