Line Up
Pistol Pete's long standing love affair with electronic beats was borne of late nights in the late 90s in the North West of England. Eventually settling in London, Pete promoted and DJ'd at his own night, Spin in Farringdon as well as City Loud at Turnmills. Expect top quality across the deep and tech house spectrum with a few party bangers thrown in for good measure.
Barney Logic is one of the lesser known alumni of the school that gave rise to Hot Chip, Fourtet and… ahem… So Solid Crew. A former promoter of drum & bass nights and a DJ across a range of other funk influenced genres including house and hip hop, Barney has shared the stage with the likes of Goldie, Fabio, Annie Mac, Basement Jaxx, and the Artful Dodger. He’s ready to come out of retirement!
Doug’s love of dance music was born in Rage at the start of the 90’s, grew in London’s warehouse rave scene at nights like Lost, and blossomed into a years’ long residency at the legendary Heart & Soul parties. Expect Detroit classics, deep grooves, gorgeous electronica and slamming techno.
Big P will be taking you on a tour of Garage, Rave classics and other genres that give him flashbacks of a golden era of dance music.
