It's only the 2nd weekend of the year and the south coast of England is already gearing itself up for the 1st important date of the year (other than NYD) in any underground music ravers diary, the Bugged Out Weekender. The one weekend of the year where the seagulls of Bognor Regis share the Butlin’s campus with clandestine Ketamine ravers in search of a fun filled weekend driven by the need to be satisfied by bass driven grooves.
Yes, Butlin’s is not the environment that you would instantly associate with underground dance music but it’s hard to disagree with the notion that they pull it off successfully year in year out. This year was to be no different with a line up that highly appealed to 18-25 year olds and an environment more than comfortable for your seasoned raver to let loose. The Bugged Out Weekender celebrated its 5th year of their 3 day bonanza with a stellar line up that included industry heavyweights Armand Van Helden, Catz n Dogs, Hannah Wants, Heidi, Bicep and DJ EZ joined by some of the freshest acts breaking through on the scene such as Jozef K, Bowler and DJ Barely Legal.
