basilika

It’s the worst weather in the world, it got dark about 10.30 this morning, it’s the week after chrissy so everyone’s broke, and the night before the biggest party night of the year-sounds like the perfect date for the ‘basilika pre-new year warmup special’ .
We’ll be at the elbow room from 6 -doing it because […]

Greetings to you all*, I hope you had a super duper Christmas. Righto, down to business. Five tracks that knocked me over this year eh?…nigh on impossible. I’ll have a go though.

The other brubekk-connected news is that we have been […]

Thanks to everyone wh0 checked out the site last month, November was our busiest month ever here at basilika. I know a certain hat-encumbered dj would like to take the credit for that, but I see it more as a testament to the combined efforts of the whole team (and the fact that I’ve been […]
