Brandon is infamous for his party spirit but in equal measure his ability to capture that spirit in his DJ sets. Though he has become more discerning over the years, the raw energy his DJ sets bring to a dance-floor remains. Musically, Brandon has a wealth of experience and is a staunch champion of the funkier end of house. His continued success means Brandon Block is still one of the UK’s most sought after DJs

ALLISTER WHITEHEAD
Allister Whitehead began his DJing career way back in 1987 at the tender age of 17 – no surprise unconventional. Starting out in his hometown of Nottingham, Allister took up a residency at the Koolkat, where he often played next to the ubiquitous Graeme Park on Saturday nights. His growing reputation quickly led to another residency, at the seminal club Venus, but the biggest break came when he covered a spot at the Hacienda, standing in for Mike Pickering of M People. On the strength of this one night alone, he began his third residency. So now the story of our new Qaraj’ic master begins to unfold in earnest…

JOHN DA SILVA
Biography
Mercurial DJ/ Producer, Jon Dasilva was co conspirator in defining the music policy of the seminal House club The Hacienda during acid house era and was slap bang at the centre of the early days of UK House/Techno music scene. Seminal and adventurous are also adjectives often associated with this bold producer. He has a string of cutting edge productions to his name spanning two decades on labels including Ellum Audio, Rush Hour, Soma, Mute, Deconstruction, Eskimo, Is It Balearic, and has recently been awarded “Best House Track 2012-13” at The International Dance Awards for “Love Somebody Else” by Jon Dasilva and Maceo Plex (feat. Joi Cardwell).
Dasilva’s wide musical tastes and ability to work these genres into proper dance floor action also mark him out as specialist deck-master, taking his cues from the legends that inspired him, the likes of Francois Kevorkian and Ron Hardy. Considered an influence on a whole generation of DJ’s from Balearic Legend, DJ Moonboots to the ubiquitous star, Sasha, Jon has nevertheless retained a freshness of approach as displayed in his recent DJ mixes where his penchant for the varied shades of techno and house as well as his keen nose for sniffing out the most interesting modern producers have been so clearly evident.
