JUSTIN ROBERTSON
Friday 3rd August 2012


Justin Robertson's tastes have always been catholic, though in 2011 you would be hard pushed to find a musician working successfully in areas as diverse as dancehall, house and art pop. Justin is a true modernist.

NEW STREET ADVENTURE Live Show
Saturday 16th June 2012


With the release of their EP, "Say it like you mean it" on their own label, 'Unmasked Recordings', New Street Adventure represent a welcome return for classic British song writing. Given their influences, largely from the 60s and 70s, this is a modern and refreshing take on what soul music can be to a new generation.

DEGREE SHOW SPECIAL feat. MUNGO'S HI FI & MC SOOM T
Friday 18th May 2012


Since humble beginnings way back in the distant days of 2000, Mungo's Hi Fi have grown to become one of the UK's number one reggae sound systems. They take everything we all love about traditional roots, dancehall dub and reggae vibes and bring them bang up to date in their own imitable style.

About us:
Since 2002, The Reading Rooms has been at the forefront of the underground clubscene in Scotland. Housed inside a former public library, with an exposed brick, warehouse-style interior and furnished with original retro decor, The Reading Rooms is home to a tight collective of some of Dundee (and Scotland's) most exciting music promoters who present an eclectic and diverse range of late night party offerings.

With a weekly programme, crossing many musical genres including electro, dubstep, reggae, funk and soul, techno to hip hop, rockabilly, dancehall and beyond, it all promises to keep this legendary venue at the forefront of the Scottish underground clubscene. To further enhance you clubbing experience, The Reading Rooms is also home to a top of the range D&B sound system.


This club reminds me of the best little clubs in Japan… and London, we're gonna have some fun tonight.
