On October 6th, the rhythm won’t let up. HTBX takes over McGettigans Level One, Ireland, with a night pivoting on uptempo funk, loose-limbed electronics, and the raw future of the UK underground. For this session, two monsters of mutant percussion are linking up: Ben Pest joins forces with Luke’s Anger for a rare live set under the Bebop & Rocksteady banner.

Expect machine jams steeped in breakbeat chaos and acid-laced swing—a melting pot of pressure and low-end groove, moving seamlessly from London squat party energy to warehouse stomps. Ben Pest brings ear-bending club gear that’s both playful and punishing, his live sets known to scramble floors from sweatbox basements to festival hangars. Luke’s Anger, meanwhile, rides the same lineage of hacked hardware and madcap electro, together channeling sweat-soaked rave euphoria at peak intensity.

Rounding out the proceedings, Duke Slammer lines up with a grip of party-fuelled, synth-heavy funk—guaranteed to keep the system warm and the crowd restless from the first drop to the last beat. Sound system culture runs deep in the veins of all three artists. Built for heads but primed for dancefloor reflection, this is not a night that slows down.

October 6th: HTBX at McGettigans, Level One, Ireland. Ben Pest, Duke Slammer, and Luke’s Anger as Bebop & Rocksteady, taking the party deep into the night.
