That’s right, it’s that time of year when we start to feel old, get embarrassed and would rather not talk about it again…nah, screw that…we’re only 9 years old!! Can you remember when you were 9 years old? BMX bikes, Star Wars, Rollerboots, Summer Holidays…best days of your life!! But, instead of a Wimpy party and a game of pass the parcel we’ve roped in a few friends to help us celebrate…
DUB PISTOLS (DJ set)
SERIAL KILLAZ
TOMB CREW
MR BENN
SHEPDOG
The Dub Pistols are one of the UKs most popular bands – headlining and playing festivals throughout the world (most recently playing live on Polish television on New Years Eve!) and their new album “Worshipping The Dollar” is set for release anytime now. Main trouble-causer Barry Ashworth will be headlining for us with a dancefloor blazing selection of reggae, breaks & drum & bass.

The Serial Killaz are without a doubt the biggest names in UK jungle/drum & bass right now – supplying remixes to Major Lazer, Toddla T & Rebel MC to name a few, aswell as a slew of massive bootleg remixes of some of the biggest names in dancehall. The last time they played at the Big Chill House for us they absolutely tore the roof off and created the first ever mosh pit on the dancefloor!

They’ve recently stepped up their game in the studio with releases featuring Rubi Dan, Juxci D & Illaman and remixes for The Freestylers, Drop The Lime and a forthcoming one for NICE UP! records.
