This week we were treated to a special show from local beat collective //This Thing//. They are no strangers to The City Rises – we’ve been playing their beats for a few years now and have had almost all the individuals as guests in that time. You can check out sets from Andras Fox, Ben Houghton, Mike Kay, Galapagoose and Wooshie if you follow the links to previous shows of ours.

Wooshie and Galapagoose are stateside at the moment playing a few shows in LA so expect to see a lot more of them real soon.

Dan Dare does a sterling job holding things together in what was a pretty raucous show. Enjoy!
