Growing up as a teenager in the early nineties Russell was heavily influenced by the likes of Masters At Work, Bobby & Steve, Tony Humphries, Gilles Peterson, Joey Negro and when it comes to proper U.S house & garage his biggest inspiration was Paul Trouble Anderson who’s Kiss FM show he tuned into religiously from early 95. From the age of 14 Russell was already starting to get his foot in the door of the Brighton dance scene by working on local radio stations Freedom FM & Dfm 101.4. Russell’s early days of working on specialist dance music radio taught him a lot about the industry, which was an amazing opportunity for someone so young, plus getting to rub shoulders with the likes of Norman Cook, Dave Clark and Marshall Jefferson while doing it was also quite an experience too! Russell took some time out for a few years to do other things but then in 2005 he hit the […]

Sam Anglo

Always Groovin'

Sam Anglo   Open Format Dj & Producer   Born in a small Sussex village to a Hippy parent in 1980, gave me a unique start in life, to say the least. Times were hard at some points, but the music was always booming out of the hazy smoked-filled lounge. The people were always interesting, along with spending a week in the summer holidays at Glastonbury Festival every year all added to the eclectic mix of culture, sounds, and freedom to grow and develop my character. There was always vinyl on the record player at home and I was taught at a young age the importance of looking after your sound and respecting the art that went into the process and the artwork that enveloped it to protect the precious music inside. I can’t be more grateful for the music I was brought up on and the cultural journey that it lead me to take as an artist. By 1992 […]

SDMS

Good vibes across the globe

SDMS aka Shivers Down My Spine is really glad to be part of the south coast dj community. As they represent Worthing, SDMS enjoys playing there (mostly) but you can also find them in Brighton. Since they were brought up in a house full of vinyls with jazz, classic music, soul, electronica, bossa nova and global sounds, they go beyond the pure beat and drop a tune that’s maybe jazzier, darker, more oriental – slightly different somehow. SDMS loves the energy of African drums and the pueblo feel of Latin tunes, I appreciate good harmonising and slow evolving pace of electronica.

Taking inspiration from a diverse selection of DJs, from EZ and Nasty Crew’s Mak 10, through to Jaguar Skills, Jazzy Jeff and Diplo, Shiftz has been playing garage, grime and 140 bass in clubs around the UK and internationally for the past 15 years. His unique style of 3 deck mixing and live edits has seen him play guest spots on Kiss FM and BBC 1Xtra, as well as supporting artists such as Diplo, D Double E, Todd Edwards, Sir Spyro, hip hop legend Just Blaze, and many more. With several productions signed to the fast rising Step 2 Recordings, Shiftz is one to watch.

Shnucklz is a music lover who grew up listening to reggae (mum), his first memories are of the jungle scene, being from London, he was heavily influenced by the people he grew up with and started to like the music that ‘the older lot’ were listening to in the youth clubs. His favourite stations at the time were ‘Kool FM’ and ‘Freak FM’ and he has a massive soft spot for ‘old skool jungle’ that will never leave. For him, it was the music that started everything off. He became engrossed in the garage music at the time and started collecting records, even before he got decks! Shnucklz visited many well-known record shops with his mum, including places such as ‘Uptown Records, ‘Blackmarket Records’ and a no longer existing ‘Release the Groove’. Schnucklz is derived from the word knuckles, but simply with a ‘Shh’ in front of it and a creative change in the spelling.

Slikmix

Surfing the airwaves

In the late 90s Slikmix was gifted a pair of Citronix turntables and transformed his parents garage into a studio. Starting out with a 6 pack of house vinyl and some random jungle tracks, Slikmix practised the art of beat matching over and over again. Leading into the early 2000’s Slikmix got his debut on the airwaves alongside DJ Merge, securing a regular slot on one of the biggest radio stations in Essex, Renegade 107.4 FM. It was from this long serving residency that Slikmix managed to fine tune his sound and performance. With regular trips to London record shops, Slikmix was able to network with the likes of: Nicky Blackmarket, DJ Cameo, Dizzie Rascal and many more! By the mid 2000’s Slikmix was well established as a duo alongside Merge with residencies across Essex, London and Kent. Slikmix went on to run a music project along side some of the Pioneers in the music scene such as DJ Swanne, […]
