NF01 November/December 2023
Issue one of nearfield celebrates new beginnings across the region. We get excited about the reopening of Bristol Beacon, meet the hardy dippers revelling in the cold waters of the restored Cleveland Pools, find out what the Bristol Old Vic's new artistic director has planned; and explore the vintage shops, upcycling workshops, and reclamation yards breathing fresh life into old. We also keep readers moving through winter with a guide to indoor and outdoor activities, and meet the Icebreakers in our first community takeover. Plus we round up all the best events, experiences, and food and drink in the southwest this winter.

The Bristol-based<br />
purveyors of cosmic<br />
jazz and outernational<br />
sounds explain the<br />
thinking behind their<br />
eclectic DJ and<br />
gig nights<br />
We play the best records we can<br />
find from a mad mix of cultures,<br />
times and places. We book<br />
incredible bands and musicians<br />
we love from all over the world.<br />
We put out new releases by upand-coming<br />
artists we rate. And<br />
we give other DJs a platform,<br />
and generally try to bring people<br />
together to make them wriggle.<br />
Attention to detail and a sense of<br />
openness make our nights unique.<br />
There is no set music policy other<br />
than “does it groove, is it funky, is<br />
it good?”<br />
The southwest music scene<br />
is all about collaboration. It has<br />
become quite a melting pot. The<br />
creativity, festival crews and music<br />
brands Bristol is known for now is<br />
really impressive.<br />
An epic DJ set is when everyone is<br />
getting down properly, lost in the<br />
moment. The DJs are on top form,<br />
doing spontaneous things, playing<br />
a mix of music that’s both familiar<br />
and unknown. Not many places are<br />
set up right to allow for the magic<br />
to happen, especially for vinyl DJs,<br />
so when it does, it feels special.<br />
