Night Creatures is a LeftLion podcast, shining a light on the promoters of Nottingham. Your host and interviewer is Beane, co-founder of Nottingham’s beloved Soul Buggin’ night and he brings with him two decades of experience of putting on great parties in the city.
This month’s guest is Oli Gibbons from Tumble Audio, Risque Rhodes and Build Beats. He started out promoting death metal events at the Old Angel as a teenager, but moved onto attending raves like Misst, Futureproof, Rubberdub, Basslaced and Detonate.
Oli discusses playing in a Notts death metal band (Never Fail) and dancing for Gene Simmons, to putting on raves with Rubberdub and a Funktion One Sound System.
This interview was recorded in at Movers in February 2026. Find out more about Bohemian Events and Soul Buggin’ on the links below:
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
