Theres not many djs with a history of creating a party as well as playing at them as Stuart Wilkinson.
After spending most weekends raving at Lakota, Karanga, Cafe Blue and driving all over the south west in the late 90’s, he soon moved from Weston super Mare to Bristol and started his own club night Empathy at Bar Latino in 2001, weekly Thursdays for over 4 years, then moving to various venues across the city such as Timbuk2, Blue Mountain, Motion and Native.
The night continued into its second decade at Dojo and celebrated its 15th Birthday at the 02 Academy with John Digweed and Nick Warren in 2016. 
Not many promoters have brought as many dis to Bristol, with the likes of Darren Emerson, Henry Saiz, James Zabiela, Lee Burridge, James Holden, Dave Seaman, Adam Freeland, Locodice, Timo Maas and many more. It was the 21st Birthday that really took the roof off in 2022 with Laurent Garnier taking centre stage.
Stuart is also responsible for the rise and creation of Mr Whompy, for a decade the Ice Cream Van Soundsystem has been a firm favourite at Boomtown, Elrow, NIbley, Stoke Croft Block Party, Lemonfest and many more. 
Over the years Stu has also started various other club nights such as Unity at Lakota, Loop at Blue Mountain, Hope at Arc, Digital at Dojo, Dirty Blue and Arc, Empathize at Big Chill and Double Disco at various venues.
Stuart has also been lucky enough to play Glastonbury many times and overseas in Empathy in Auckland, Prague and Ibiza and dis gigs in Portugal and Poland plus Creamfields in Prague.

Obsessive music nerd for since his formative years, Sherlock Ohms finally pulled his finger out and started inflicting his collection of Funk, Soul, Hip-hop, Reggae, Breaks, Beats and random ephemera on the unwitting public in mid-2008.

Since then he's graced the airwaves of Big Chill FM and Purple Radio, the stages of the Festinho festival, and the DJ booths of the UK fluffing for the likes of DJ Moneyshot, Boca 45 and Ugly Duckling.

Whether it's early morning chilled wig outs, or eclectic party starting beat fests there's a reason they call him 'No Shit Sherlock'

To get a regular fix, listen in to Purple Radio - broadcasting from the Bristol ghetto, expect a eclectic variety of meaty, beaty, big and bouncy tunes with some random slurred segues to keep you entertained.

Ctrl : Alt : The Beat is fortnightly, Tuesdays, 22:00 – 00:00.

Grammy-nominated indie-pop band Lucius released their highly anticipated new self-titled album on May 2 via Fantasy Records—their most personal and purposeful work to date. Their fourth studio album, Lucius finds the band returning to their roots with eleven new songs written and recorded without seeking outside influence—their first time doing so since their 2013 debut. Produced by Lucius’ Dan Molad, the record explores topics such as relationships, grief and life’s complexities, with a unique vulnerability only made possible due the familial nature of the band. Known for their engaging live performances, Lucius has been featured on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” PBS’ “Austin City Limits” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show" and has toured across the world. This spring, the group will return to the road with their extensive “Gold Rush Tour." Throughout their acclaimed career, Lucius’ Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe have also become some of the most sought-after collaborators in popular music due to their “otherworldly” vocals (Los Angeles Times). The duo has recorded and performed with artists such as Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, John Legend, The Killers and Harry Styles, including appearances on the Grammy stage and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Lucius is Laessig, Wolfe, Molad and Peter Lalish.
