Barry Ashworth - Dub Pistols

“If you’re doing something you love, you never work a day in your life.”

Dapper frontman and prime mover Barry Ashworth, a ducking, diving South London graduate of the Summer of Love generation, who started a band, the DUB PISTOLS, because he loved Happy Mondays and never looked back. The band that started out in the mid-90s with Barry DJing while musicians jammed over the top, has metamorphosed into a mighty reggaematic bass-driven live machine, a super-tight festival regular that keeps winning over new fans at Glastonbury, Bestival, Beat-Herder and across Europe.

A growing love of DJ Alfredo’s Balearic mixes at Amnesia led Barry into promoting events, DJing and a taste for hard partying. At one point he found himself in a three-day rave that Flowered Up had thrown in a mansion in South London. “The most insane party I’d ever been to,” he remembers. “The police had to carry us out in the end.”

King Sunny Ade P

King Sunny Ade P is a DJ, a vinyl junky, a music journalist, a professional Flâneur a radio DJ and a fanzine writer. His natural habitat is the record shop - where he can be found digging for obscure vinyl – and the DJ booth where he can be found most weekends playing records to up-for-it party people. He’s been DJing professionally for 25 years.

Hearing ‘Voodoo Ray’ for the very first time whilst dancing at ‘Hot 88’ in Manchester’s legendary Hacienda and realizing that the aliens had well and truly landed was the main inspiration for him to get into DJing. “Pushing through those huge rubber butcher’s curtains into the main dance area and grinning inanely is one of the main reasons I still DJ. To this day I want to share that experience with others.”

DJ Vegas Duck

DJ Vegas Duck has been laying 4 to the floor since a long weekend at Club Rusper in the Autumn of 2017.
The civilian dancer Fergus Dick expressed an interest in learning to DJ after a very special Funkatarium in Brixton. James Burke offered to introduce the necessary software, and Jules Pendower also chipped in with words and wisdom. Vegas Duck was born.
Now a veteran of Coalesce, Plato’s Cave, The Jingle Ball and many underground Rave parties, Vegas Duck explores the rich seam of music that lies between Tech House and Techno.

Enjoy responsibly: delicious in sandwiches and on toast. Why not try Burning Van?

Gina D

No party is complete without Gina D behind the decks (or dancing on the stage).

Gina crosses the divide with her vocal house with a funky edge to it and has literally taken to the decks like a duck to water, in short time has become one of the most in demand female DJ's in the area

Knewmi Cahony

One thing you'll instantly recognise with Knewmi Cahony is that he is not your average DJ. This is due to the fact that he wears a lot of his DJ equipment on his body and guitar, which enables him to switch into a live musician at any point in his sets (hence his nickname Half Man, Half Machine). With his own fizzy Techno Pop productions, get ready to go on a journey like no other.

Traktorgirl

A lady that needs very little introduction, Arabella is a force of nature, she has been whipping dance floors into frenzies from the UK to Europe, to Goa and beyond, since 2011.

Her passion and talent for mixing her very own brand of bass heavy, bad ass tech house has made her a firm favorite behind the decks. Prepare yourselves for a downright deep and dirty groove!

Traktorgirl | Rhino Solstice Party

Julie Devine

Julie Devine was kidnapped by drag queens at the tender age of 14. They introduced her to disco and she never quite made it home. She's still at the party and can be seen at Golden Delicious, House of Honey and anywhere else that'll have her..she's still a darling of the queer scene and her mates doos, as there she is loved regardless of her age inappropriate behaviour and rather too dirty music.

Julie is very happy to be helping save the rhinos and joining in with Berry White and team..they shine bright!!

Altitude360 DJ

Deep House / Deep Tech / Techno

Originally from the Midlands, Mark has spent his adult life living and working across the world, finally settling in Hastings, attracted by the vibrant music scene and the quirkiness of the seaside town.

Influenced in the early days by the morose and atmospheric sounds of the Cure, New Order and other gothic rock bands of the late 80’s early 90’s, Mark fell into the London clubland scene and culture later in the 1990’s and discovered an enduring love for Ibiza and the Balearic beauty of the island.

As Altitude360 DJ, Mark brings together a unique fusion of chilled, ambient house and deep techno and melodic underground sounds.

2019 for Mark finished with a number of gigs in Ibiza, being signed to MO7AI, an International DJ Platform and being selected to be one of the Future Sounds DJ’s for the Source Bar. 2020 would have seen Mark join larger industry names in gigs in Manchester and London as well as dates back in Ibiza. With lockdown kicking in he has focussed on the release of some of the tracks currently in production and developing his brand.

Alongside a number of local residencies and guest appearances for other brands, Mark has regular radio shows on Data Transmission, The Underground Kollektiv and The Works Experience and has featured on Techno Live Sets

DJ Colin

DJ Colin is the house DJ at Level Crossing Records.... London's Premier Coffee and Record store....

We believe that much like a record spinning on a platter and the slow drip of an espresso, coffee and music are both best enjoyed in their most analogue forms.

We decided to open a record store around 3 years ago...I have always been a collector, played in various bands so the dream to open my own store has always been there. We live 10 minutes from the shop in East Sheen, South West London. The store's regulars have become an extended family to us. They are the reason we get up in the morning and the best thing about owning a record store.

Our store is much more like a bar than a record store. People hang out all day talking about music and listening to vinyl whilst having a coffee. It's a real community. We don’t focus on any specific genres and we pride ourself on being eclectic. Our staff members regularly play live sets in-store and our customers often DJ.

Features include an incredible psychedelic counter manufactured from recycled plastic bottles and 1970s pinball light box...
