Free Fest does pretty much exactly what it says on the can. It's free and it's a festival. It is also one of the highlights on the Loughborough Student's calender... bare sunshine, good music, cheap booze & now Dub-boro actually physically on top of a bus... YES SIRRR!!!

We will be 'conducting' the bus on Sunday 2nd May from 12:00 - 18:00, with a whole host of residents/guests taking to the wheels of steel in an attempt to soundtrack your bank holiday Sunday. So then, who's gonna be there?

Pasquale
Senate (Basslaced)
Goli & Ashburner (For The Win)
Mike Mases

PARTY WITH MARTY... PUUULLLLLLLL UUUPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

We are not in the habit of inviting DJ's back to the Dub-boro decks. Mainly because we have only had 10 parties, but also we feel there are enough good artists to share the love with and treat you to something a little bit different everytime. This however is not the case with Martelo, who we just can't get enough of. Anyone who was at our party at Echos will remember Marty tearing the white room to pieces with his eclectic mix of just about anything to make you kids go crazy...

Martelo has been rubbing shoulders recently with pure royalty, touring with Santogold, producing alongside good friend Herve and coming with high recommendations than non other than the godfather of bass- driven energy, Diplo. Martelos first solo release came out last year and is typical of the genre-spanning genius...



It is our pleasure then that he makes his return to Loughborough on June 17th, an integral part of the main room that also includes Zinc & Jack Beats, this thing is gonna go OFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!! And if you need any more proof of how this cat rolls, check out our favourite mixtape of the year so far (and in fact the last 10 years), Marty has put together 62 of the biggest tunes of the noughties into 27 minutes. Magician...
