This summer we have brought some unforgetable events to Chester, and now the festivals have passed, its time to take our events back up a gear…. With our teams ‘all about the music’ attitude, we have took a whole new look on our upcoming events, from the bookings and music, to making the experience even more special and exciting than even we could imagine!

MAIN ROOM:

SCRATCH PERVERTS

Arguably the best djs in the world, and regarded as some of the most influential turntablists around, they have brought so much more to the table that just beat juggling. Since forming in 1996 they have won 2 DMC World Championships, as well as the World ITF Championship and the World Vestax Championship. Check the clips out on youtube!
Now retired from beating everyone in all scratching and beat juggling competitions, they have also started producing mad party style remix’s of hip hop / dubstep /grime tracks.

CHRIS BEALE

Chris’s djing days started off at the world famous Gallery, Ministry of Sound – London. Recognised for his heavy hitting bootleg productions, great stage presence and jaw dropping ability on the decks. Cementing his place within the UK’s hottest young djs at only 21 years old. Since then he has also been booked to headline the biggest events across the UK. Lots in the pipe line, one to watch!

Now they are touring up north with us for this event!

GUGU DJS

Gatecrasher weekly residents the GUGU djs need no intro, but for those who are new to the name.. they are Nottingham’s finest talent… having contributed so much to the music scene, which is why they are so well grounded in the uks highest ranking up and comings. Playing at their home super club week in week out has given them the ability to be at the best they can be on stage.

+ SAM VILANTE / A J BATTUTA / MATTY BROWN / MIKE GRIFFITHS / D.E.P

Expect mash up, electro, dubstep, hip hop, grime, breaks, Techno, drum and bass……the edgeyest most up front music out there! Every Mash Up over the past year has been well and truly smashed so dont missed out on this one!!!!
