You've reached the holding place for Lucy Ironmonger's newish, oldish, antiquated and generally not mastered jams. Leave a message after the beep.

A friend after hearing me DJ for the first time 'did you play a lot of Street Fighter 2 as a child?', and actually, I think this explains a lot. Along with that, from 2013-2022 I was 1/4 of the @Meat-Free-DJs which has also shaped a lot of my music tastes. We've put on a lot of techno raves in Manchester during that time, and the girls continue to smash it! You can see more via www.thisismeatfree.com. Until 2021 I was also Ops Director at School of Electronic Music, there for nearly 10yrs which was a special time, I met a lot of amazing people there and that has definitely had a big impact on my journey in music. 

Women and their place in electronic music is also a subject very close to my heart, so if you're in the scene trying to break in or get noticed please feel free to give me a shout on here. Happy to pretty much have a mix with anyone looking to learn or generally vibe. 

I'm listing my gigs below because it's the only place I actually keep a track of them! I don't often record mixes (as you can probs tell by my outdated Soundcloud) - hearing me live is definitely the place, although I'm taking some time out from that at the moment :) 

2022-onwards: Taking time out for family, we now have 2 beautiful daughters :)

Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train, resolutely independent, worldwide.

Formed in 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand our sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.

Irish-born, Manchester-based Kerrie is a multidisciplinary artist and resident DJ at Tresor Berlin. She performs live sets, produces music, DJs, and runs her own label, Dark Machine Funk. 

Having garnered a rich musical education through working at and holding a DJ residency for one of the UK's most respected record shops, Eastern Bloc, Kerrie's in-depth knowledge and unwavering dedication to music shines through her notable back catalogue and bolshy, unforgiving DJ and Live sets. Honing her craft for over a decade, Kerrie achieved a milestone at the start of 2024 when Tresor announced her as a resident DJ. Playing several shows (both live and DJ sets) at the Berlin-based space, Kerrie also represents the seminal club at showcases worldwide. Celebrated venues like Berghain, fabric, FOLD, Elsewhere NYC, and festival bookings at Freedom Medellin, Freerotation, Drift, Basilar and many more have shaped her schedule along the way. 

First learning to mix via her brother's turntables in the early 2000s, it wasn't until 2009 that Kerrie invested in her own set-up and built an extensive record collection, covering everything from ambient, electronic, house, EBM, acid, electro, and her go-to genre, techno. Kerrie delivers tough moods from the turntables, as conveyed in her mixes for Reclaim Your City, Bassiani, SLAM and Crack, where she carefully blended high-energy styles of UK, Detroit, and European techno, many of which stem from the 90s and the 00s. It's frequent to hear Kerrie weave broken elements into her mixes too, chopping up the 4/4 groove at just the right moment to keep things propulsive. Kerrie's Live sets are renowned for their trippy motifs and high impact on the dancefloor; her set from Freerotation in 2019 was one of the festival's most talked-about debuts. 

Following well-received releases on labels such as Don't Be Afraid, Cultivated Electronics, I Love Acid and Symbolism, Kerrie launched her imprint Dark Machine Funk [DMF] in 2020. The label homes her distinctly raw aesthetic and honours her love for dark, gritty, metallic and industrial sounds melded with elements of funk, heavily influenced by second-wave Detroit artists, UK techno and music by some of her favourite artists: James Ruskin, Blawan and Surgeon. Kerrie's first release on DMF, "Inner Space PT1", was praised by Resident Advisor, who credited her ability to make "lean, fierce techno that knows how to groove."

2022 was a watershed year for Kerrie's productions. She debuted on the monumental UK techno label Blueprint with her EP "Raw Regimen", which landed acclaimed reviews. Truly welcomed to the Blueprint family, Kerrie delivered her second EP in 2023 and joined the crew at label showcases around the globe. In the same year, she marked her tenth release on vinyl called "Transient Belief" which Blueprint added to their discography. In 2024, Kerrie's output continues to captivate, with Tresor releasing her EP "Machine Alliance", further solidifying her connection with the club and label and fulfilling one of her many goals (and dreams) as an artist.

Coming to international prominence in more recent years, regardless of her decade-long tenure in Manchester's vibrant scene, Kerrie is deeply invested in the culture of electronic music, starting from her teenage era as a raver in Ireland up to her innovative projects today. In 2017, she founded Eastern Bloc's in-house event space to nurture local talent, which remains at the heart of Manchester's music community. Having ended her 11-year stint at the shop in 2023 to fully commit to the studio and accommodate her increasingly busy tour schedule, Kerrie is forging a long-lasting path fuelled by drive, passion, authenticity and a community-first way of thinking.

22 Digit Records is run by William Reed (William Welt) and Peter Bartram (Pete Weasel/DEE.P). Peter is also the resident VJ for Newcastle-based clubbing institution, Shindig. 

The label has a firm focus on deep and percussive electronic music and has received regular support from key players, appearing in set listings by the likes of Richie Hawtin, Jozif and Richy Ahmed, among many others. 

As well as being featured digitally on compilations including the critically acclaimed 'Balance' mix CD series, 22 Digit presses limited runs of coloured marble-effect vinyl through its sub label, 22 Digit LTD.  

While focusing on a close family of core artists, the label also releases music from other producers that share its vision. These have included Matt Tolfrey, Ekkohaus, Trus’me and Moodymanc to name but a few.
