ZERO CHILL
JAN 17th
Hello Conscious Clubbers!
Conscious Change cordially invites you to what will be the first of hopefully many club nights. That’s right! You heard it! We are bringing climate action to a club near you!
As a social enterprise looking to initiate a discussion of conscious change in everyday life, we have turned to the clubbing scene of Edinburgh to create a funky night which encourages zero waste, zero silence, ZERO CHILL! With your help we’re looking to ACT LOCALLY and IMPACT GLOBALLY through using sustainable, stylish resources from our alcohol right down to the toilet paper.
The first night will go off with a bang, featuring Edinburgh’s grooviest local DJs, celebrating music from around the world! We hope to see you there being loud with your actions and even louder with your dancing! Boogie your way on down to La Belle for the night and be a part of a conscious clubbing wave to help eradicate climate change little by little!

********************************************
The Shapeshifters – With musical trends always changing and evolving arounds us, it’s a testament to the real quality of The Shapeshifters to have sustained a successful career in house music for over 16 years now. After already lighting up dance floors with a recut package of their own anthem ‘Lola’s Theme’ and with Max now absent from Production & DJ duties, Simon steps out on his own & releases on Glitterbox Recordings with records such as the brilliant ‘When Love Breaks Down’ & the dance floor affirming ‘Try My Love’ in recent times, both timeless tracks which solidifies their place as out-and-out legends of the scene.
Back To Back Social – We use DJing as a vehicle for positive change, addressing the complex issue of mental health that surrounds homelessness. This comes in the form of dj tuition workshops, dj performances and events. Djing is an engagement vehicle, to draw interest from our users who have traditionally been disengaged in education and employment. Our workshops provide a gateway to further support, whilst delivering transferable skills, boosting confidence, combating loneliness and teaching users how to use creativity and music for wellness. Supporting our users back on their feet, by building mental health resilience to support the road to accommodation and sustained tenancy as well as employment and volunteer opportunities. Turning the invisible people of today into the turntablists and selectors of tomorrow.

JAH WOBBLE
& THE INVADERS
OF THE HEART
FEB 7th
Jah Wobble & The Invaders of the Heart
+ support: TBC
Over the past four decades, Jah Wobble has ploughed his own furrow as a solo artist, as well as becoming a well-respected session musician, with a genuine passion for Eastern and Global music. He has worked with a diverse range of musicians, including Baaba Maal, Bjork, Primal Scream, Brian Eno, Sinead O’Connor, Julianne Regan, Dolores O’Riordan, Holgat Czukay, U2’s The Edge, and Chaka Demus & Pliers.
The man born John Wardle began his musical journey when he met John Lydon and Sid Vicious in 1973. It was Vicious who not only nicknamed John ‘Jah Wobble’ after a drunken binge but also loaned him his first bass guitar. Lydon asked JW to join Public Image Limited (aka PiL) in 1978. Wardle’s distinctive ‘low end’ bass became the backbone of PiL’s pioneering sound. After its follow-up, the exploratory yet sinister soundscapes of ‘Metal Box’, Wardle became disillusioned by politics within the band and their reluctance to play live. He eventually split from PiL in mid-1980 and embarked on a prolific solo career.
Jah Wobble and the Invaders of the Heart released their debut album in 1990 and received a Mercury Music Prize nomination in 1991 for the ‘Rising above bedlam’ album. After the acclaimed ‘Take me to God’ album in 1994 the band split and Jah Wobble launched his own 30 Hertz record label which has subsequently released more than 30 albums.
