Wellington’s (New Zealand) prime club Sandwiches will be celebrating its 7th Birthday on the 20th and 21st August. It’ll be a meaty double whopper with plenty of pickle but certainly no cheese. Friday features Dutch heavyweights Dem Slacker and Mightyfools and loads of local talent spinning Nu Rave and electro and Saturday gets bass heavy with dubstep and drum & bass on the menu.

Currently one of the most popular electronic dance music styles in New Zealand, d&b has become intertwined with their own musical culture in exactly the same manner as dub, reggae, soul, rock and hip-hop have all become as pervasive as fluoride in water. And, Wellington’s wholehearted embrace of bass-heavy breakbeat culture, alongside other key centers like Christchurch, Auckland and Dunedin, has been a key factor in this incontestable, yet rarely publicly acknowledged cultural shift.
