Crilli Dnb Belfast

21/11/2025

We are back in just over two weeks with the first of our 20 Years of Crilli DNB celebrations and our December guest is no stranger to Crilli, having played for us twice in the past.

From the first time we booked him in 2022 until now, Sl8r has been growing and growing and he is now an established V Recordings artist. Every time he puts out something new it is a case of "buy on sight" and he is one of our favourite modern producers for how diverse his productions are.

Here's a podcast he recorded for us back in 2023 showcasing his jungle side. Lots of vintage V Recordings tracks in the mix, which is choc full of jungle rollers from start to finish.

To say we're a tad excited to reveal our latest podcast is selling it short. Welcoming Friday's guest and V Recordings mainstay to the series, Podcast 2023.3 comes courtesy of our favourite Manchester

Crilli DNB is 20
Part 1
With Sl8r (V Recordings, Manchester)
Plus Crilli residents, CloseKey and Dilemma.

Yep that's right, Crilli is turning 20. How the heck did that happen?

From now-derelict Bangor nightclubs to Menagerie, Voodoo, Lavs, Sports Club and more, we've thrown a few parties in our time.
We'll be celebrating this sketchy (well, who likes being old?) milestone with some of our favourite acts visiting Belfast over the next 12 months and to kick things off it's our favourite Brum-come-Mancunian, Sl8r!

This'll be Connor's third time playing Sports Club which is some sort of guest record at Crilli. V Recordings just can't get enough of Connor's music and nor can we, he's also celebrated recent releases on Alix Perez's 1985 Music and LSB's Footnotes label. DJ Storm, DJ Marky, Samurai Breaks etc etc, you name them, they're playing Sl8r dubs, and he's a wicked DJ to boot.

Thank you to each and every one of you who has been a part of Crilli through the different eras and times. There are too many people to mention right now but you know who you are.

Come join us on Friday 5th December for our first chapter of celebrating 20 years of bringing drum and bass and jungle guests to Northern Ireland.

See you soon...

BENNY L IN BELFAST THIS WEEKEND! 💣

It's big guns o'clock at Crilli once again as we welcome the man with some of the heaviest beats in modern DNB to the stage at Ulster Sports Club on Saturday.

Making his first ever Irish appearance - it's Tres 2 B label owner and Metalheadz artist BENNY L, with Crilli residents and Disrespect on support duties. 

⚠️Advance tickets recommended for this one ⚠️

Unless you've been living under a soundproof rock you're more than likely familiar with our next guest Benny L by this stage. But if not, you're in for a treat.

With some of the gnarliest basslines and thundering drums in the modern business, Benny's trademark sound is both unforgiving and unmistakeable.

We've pulled together some of our favourite tracks from him: remixes for some absolute titans as well as plenty of standout solo productions including New Dawn, Replicant and Low Blow.

Check it out via the link. Listen loud and you'll get the idea as to why we think it's going to be a special one at USC in a couple of weeks!

September 2025 Recap 🥵

Can't remember many occasions where we've had four gigs in one month, September was busy busy and a load of fun!

Chase and Status ✅
After-party ✅
Culture Night 2025 ✅
Crilli at Sandinos in Derry ✅

Big big thank you to everyone who's been about for this busy month and to everyone who continues to support us doing our thing. Also shout out to the Crilli wives who've lost us to playlisting and planning for a fair chunk of the past four weeks.

Tune of the month? Probably have to hand it to the Benny L remix of Original Nuttah. Tis the season and all that😁

See you 18th of October for some Benny L in the flesh? We hope so...
