As our ever changing vision of life takes form as an oasis in the desert; we welcome you to our PLAYGROUND!

Is it a mirage or is it an oasis? 
The only way to know is to join us on a journey through the night.

As the sun goes down and the night comes out, please join us for our version of Moroccan tea and good vibes.

When the creatures of the night have arose and the music starts to call you, join us for a stiff drink and hard beats.

We are looking forward to playing with you. 
WELCOM HOME!

I came up in the Music (Business) where there were rules and guidelines to the way things were done. It never made sense to me. I felt like you can own your own studio,make your own records and put them out how & when you want and even shoot your own videos. I'm soooo happy to finally be in that place now. I hope you enjoy the music i'm putting out now as much as i'm enjoying making it. Welcome to my Independence!!!! Check it Out. http://www.djjazzyjeff.com

Godfather’, ‘Legend’, ‘International Hero’. All accolades attributed by loving fans Worldwide to the DJ, Producer and scene pioneer known as ‘Slipmatt’. For over three decades, this dubplate diamond has been changing the game, staying on the pulse and keeping ahead of the curve, packing dancefloors and selling out clubs long before it was cool and still does so to this very day.
  
Having produced a ton of successful singles and compiled a number of hit selling mix albums under his ‘Slipmatt’ alias for some of the World’s most respected record labels including United Dance and Ministry Of Sound, ‘Slipmatt’ is also one of the masterminds behind legendary production outfit SL2 (along with Lime and MC Jay), the visionaries responsible for the chart smashing anthems ‘On A Ragga Tip’ & ‘Way In My Brain’ among many others on the iconic label XL Recordings, home to legendary acts such as ‘The Prodigy’, ‘Basement Jaxx’; and ‘Adele’. 

‘On A Ragga Tip’ is presently enjoying a resurgence of popularity as it goes on the current Virgin Media TV ad as part of their Un-Limiting adverts which includes the new ‘On A Ragga Tip’ Un-Limiting Remix, which has equally proved as popular as ever with dancefloors around the globe and this year alone is scheduled  to collaborate in the studio with Shades Of Rhythm, Andy Galea of Sol Brothers, Alex P, Awesome 3, Alexis Raphael, Sooney and, his good friend DJ Lime with some brand new SL2 releases also in the pipeline.

This wayward don of dance has also played at every major dance event and venue worth knowing about over the years including Energy, Telepathy, Fantazia, Vision, Universe, World Dance, United Dance, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Slammin’ Vinyl, Rezurrection, Elevation, Moondance, Raindance, Peace Fest, Clockwork Orange and to top it all off had the great honour of playing directly after his good friends ‘The Prodigy’ to a packed O2 Arena of over 20, 000 people, bringing that particular night to an epic close, and ringing in the year 2014 with a tremendous bang.

‘Slipmatt’ also repeatedly continues to play across the globe in the USA, Asia, Australia, Europe and every corner of his native UK for a string of well recognised and well attended club promotions, festivals and events. He’s no stranger to a Festival or two either playing at leading big top gigs such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and We Are Festival and there has also been and continues to be multiple overseas visits to Ibiza where Slipmatt still to this day enjoys regular return trips to the White Isle’s most infamous hot spots to play such as Eden, Es Paradis and Benimussa Park (The Zoo) 

His media outreach is quite noteworthy also, having started RAW FM, been a resident on Kiss FM, a regular in M8 Magazine and Mixmag, featured in the illustrious DJ Magazine Top 100, he’s been on BBC television a number of times including the famous chart show ‘Top Of The Pops’, runs two of his own popular Radio shows and Podcasts ‘World Of Rave’ and ‘Slip’s House’ and additionally, has won a multitude of awards, including that of ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Producer’ awarded by some of the industries most respected bodies such as Kiss FM and EHM.

Not one to ever slow down or fall behind and always keeping himself fresh and relevant, this dancefloor don has been focusing lately on the biggest and best house beats, which has led him to an already extraordinarily busy 2020. Add to that his upcoming book “My Story (and How I Became a World Class DJ)”, which is set to be a smash hit amongst rave fanatics the World over later this year and with over a hundred gigs booked for 2020 already (mid-Feb), there are no signs of this crowd pleasing international artist slowing down any time soon. 

Godfather Of Rave and still keeping it fresh? Definitely.

Waybackwhen88 AKA Tony Anderson Bio

Active on the scene since the late 80s, Tony Anderson has built a reputation as one of London’s underground heroes and an inimitable record collector of everything from Disco to Electro. A driving force in the world of pirate radio, Anderson’s shows on pioneering stations such as Atmosphere FM, Centre Force, House Fm and Unknown FM are the stuff of legend, fusing a variety of styles and genres to showcase the kind of oddities, rarities and classics that only 35+ years deep in the game can unearth.

These radio shows lead to high profile residencies at Retro-Vert, Split, WayBackWhen and String Free plus gigs around Europe as part of the Essex Rascal collective (also featuring Ben Sims, Mark Broom and Paul Mac). The eclectic foursome have also ventured into the world of edits with their self titled ‘Essex Rascals’ and “Way Back Wednesday’ labels, the latter named after their notorious radio show which ran on Deepfrequency.com, guested on 1BTN and NTSlive and is now finally back on the airwaves with a regular slot on Totally Wired Radio.

No stranger to the studio, Tony’s productions have graced both Theory Recordings and his own Serenity Recordings, masterfully weaving the rawness of early Chicago House with the forward thinking grooves of luminaries such as Theo Parrish and Moodymann. Currently working on a new batch of hot low slung Acidic gems and a soundtrack inspired edit series, expect to see new heat from Mr Anderson in your favourite record emporium soon.

DJ, Producer & Promoter From Essex.
