Wowee thank you for the response to our new Saturday slot – last month’s party with Sean OD was a ripper!

This month we invite a pal from slightly closer afield, one half of Glasgow based producers, DJ’s and record label ‘Octo Trax’ – Poly 800. A Glasgow Capri Collective alumni who is a regular feature across the central belt, sharing the bill with folk like Project Pablo, Tornado Wallace, Mr TC and Optimo (under many aliases) – Poly 800 has a fantastic monthly show on EH-FM called ‘Late Lunch’ exploring dubbed out disco, balearic groovers, latin freestyle, garage house & 80’s boogie funk. Right up your street eh?

We also welcome back old hand Tuesday Gonzalez so this ones a party!

Kris Wasabi put on the best monthly party in Edinburgh for a decade, throwing down sleezy mutant disco records and booking all of your favourite artists at least 3 years before you knew who they were. Octo Octa, Violet, DJ Sotofett, Fett Burger, Andy Blake, Optimo, Wolf Muller, Jayda G, Young Marco & San Proper to name a few. That’s all irrelevant though because he’s also one of the great DJs in the city, Edinburgh’s Optimo if you will (we do).

Realised the other day that this particular lineup has never happened, so we’re making it happen. You’re welcome!

Heartbreaking ballads and foot stomping indie bangers, Nothing is off limits when it comes to there sonic manifesto. With a focus on a visceral live experience, every live show is more of an ‘experience’ than a gig and every song is an invitation into the lives, emotions and characters of the band.

Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh
16+ | £8

For our February Sneaky Pete’s date, Wack are delighted to announce the Edinburgh debut of Adam Pits.

An artist whose career is on a rapid upward trajectory, he has been turning several heads with his unique sound. He takes influences from electro, techno, breakbeat and minimal to create music that is ready made to destroy dancefloors.

For a producer who has only been releasing music, under this moniker, for two years, Adam Pits has made a serious impression on the dance music scene. Two stomping releases on the excellent Holding Hands label, ran by his good friend Desert Sound Colony, have really thrown his name into the spotlight.

He first took musical inspiration from classical music, both of his parents being classical musicians by trade, playing the cello at a young age. It took his French teacher giving him a pirated copy of Logic 9 for his production talent to flourish. Originally inspired by classic beat makers like Nujabes and J-Dilla, you can really appreciate the knack for sound design in his music.

As a DJ, Adam Pits sounds a lot like his music. A no holds barred approach to selection, expect anything and everything. With sets at northern England institutions such as Wire, Soup Kitchen and Hope Works, he is already gaining a reputation as a real party starter.

We are buzzing to have Adam up for his first ever Scottish headline show and what better venue for it to be in than Sneaky Pete’s. This night will be one for the ages, to be able to say you’ve seen Adam Pits in Sneaky’s will be worth lots of brownie points.

Support on the night coming from Wack residents Aidan and Burdis, as well as good friend Bolam. We are delighted to have him join the bill for this one. As excellent a DJ as he is a producer, he has been making big waves in the past 6 months. One to watch.

Tickets on Resident Advisor.

? FRESH TAKE ARE BACK FOR 2020 ?

We’re kicking things off with our newly developed ‘Label Showcase’ night.

Over the last year, we’ve come across some exceptional up and coming artists.

Our plan? Bring them up to the capital crowd and give them a chance to showcase their skills in the infamous Sneaky’s booth.

First up, we’ve invited House and Disco maestro: Sam Goes To Tokyo.

He’s had a whirlwind ascension with big freshman releases like: Acid à la Discothèque (Lemons at the Disco) on Paradiso Records. As well as his Footsteps in the Shadows Edit on our own imprint. It’s a great chance to get to say you got to see him first.

We want this to be accessible to as many people as possible. So we’re making it FREE entry before 12.30 and then only £3 after.

All tickets will be OTD.

See you under the red lights troops.
