2. GET READY FOR
SUBU’S SUMMER
BALL 2016!
Can you make it through from pre-drinks Sat afternoon,
dancing at every stage and then dance some more at the
after-party. Yes you CAN
Summer Ball is all about fancy dress groups, to get noticed
you need to think ‘out of the box’ and look coordinated!
Just try and ensure the pre-drinks isn’t at your place,
and don’t overload – you need to save yourself for later.
Quite probably the best place to be on Saturday 11th
June - watching the sun go down with a drink in hand
at Summer Ball.
Welcome one and all to the
magnificent SUBU Summer Ball 2016
guide which should provide you
with plenty of essential info to help
you enjoy this very special event.
It’s the 23rd SUBU Summer Ball this
year and we think it may just be the
best. Please read every page from
top to bottom and we wish you a
memorable night under the stars.

soundtrack to sunset and before the sound systems step up a gear.
THE AFTER-PARTYStarts from 2am (back at The Old Fire Station)
Back in the nineties, Fresh earned his stripes as part of Bad Company –
a d’n’b collective, who rocked your venue TOFS numerous times. These days
DJ Fresh is a solid gold dancefloor hits creator and lucky for us we have him
headlining. You can expect a dazzling show with hit after hit from ‘Hot right now’
to his latest tune “How love begins” (with High Contrast).
NME have already cited him as one of the 20 hottest producers in music right
now and The Guardian have stuck him on their top ten next generation music
producers list. He has garnered attention and praise from the music world for his
various productions and remixes, including tracks for Florrie and Tinie Tempah
(who also happens to be quite the fan).
Sloth's weekday drive time show is the most listened to radio show on BBC
Radio 1Xtra and his following is rapidly growing. By night Sloth guests at big
clubs across the land and his music mix is a perfect match for the Applebum &
Carnival crowd.
A huge name from your childhood soundtrack is back to rock your Summer
Ball! The man (so named because he had a penchant for ice-cream as a baby)
will be gearing up to perform the enormous (Chic sampling) “Be Faithful”
amongst others.
Over the last year VANT’s live shows provoked chaos across the land with mosh
pits and stage invasions exploding wherever they play.VANT have played shows
with the likes of Royal Blood, festivals such as Reading, The Great Escape and
Dot To Dot and they are set for big things this summer.
99 Souls are a UK house duo at the top of their game. x1 jazz kid + x1 hip hop
baby who grew up and fell in love with the 4/4 kick drum. Born in the 99% the
99 Souls are lovers of every other genre under the sun and are gonna bring their
special sound to Summer Ball ‘16.
