It’s a fatty

Burning Down the House

Deep Cover – Zed Bias Soundsystem | Flowdan | Champion | Terror Danjah

Garage, Grime, UK Funky, 2 step. If you know what the hell those combination of letters mean then this is totally your scene. If not – I’d advise some Nike Airs and tight jeans so as not to blow your (deep) cover.

When: Friday 11pm – 3am

Where: The Bullingdon

Details

Oxford Holi

Set to be better than the original! Not really. But who can resist the sweet tones of Bollywood music? And if you don’t like powder paint… well … you really should reconsider what you want out of life.

Where: Merton College Recreation Ground
