As we kick off our new platform for sharing DJ Mixes that we have booked or have playing for us for future events. 
We thought we would begin proceedings with a Back2Back with one of our own, Lukey B, alongside Dan PRKN.

"Lukey B" has been part of the D&B scene for around 25 years and has become integral piece of the furniture in the scene we love in Newcastle. 
Having been resident DJ for Grenade, Dilate, Motion Sickness and Curves to mention a few, Lukey B knows his way around a set of decks. 
"PRKN" is an up and coming young DJ with a very bright future ahead of him. He's frequently played sets on Method Radio for the Newcastle Beats Show (formally Hit The Breaks) and has been resident DJ for both Big Fat Rave & Lively Up. We look forward to having him play for us at our next event on the 19 July 2025.

PRKN x Lukey B - Curves Promo

A deep dive into the early releases on the Back 2 Basics sub label that ran from 1994 to 2000, releasing music from Ascend, Ultravibe, Technical Itch, JB and more. At first glance the label could be considered 90s record box filler but I love how the label could hop from atmospheric jungle to vocals to big wobbly basslines and amens to hip hop jump up and darkness. Enjoy!

DJ Randall - Renegade Selector Series 1 Mixtape UK ANIMATE 1 MT - 1994

DJ Junk started djing in 1988 with Hip-Hop & Electro, mostly for his breakers to practice to and progressed onto hardcore by 1991, selling tapes known as "Junk Hardcore" through shops & outside raves. By 1992, he was desperate to make his own music and convinced Rodger from local rave outfit Tone Def to use his studio. The tracks were played by all of the big names, including on Radio by Slipmatt. Junk went on to release a total of 12 Hardcore/Jungle 12"s, as well as releasing some house/hard house tunes under the name of Blister Sisters. I've taken almost all of the tracks from the Junk releases 92-95, as well as some previously unreleased tracks. The unreleased tracks are currently available or soon to be available on Spandangle Selection....
