THE SKINTS http://www.myspace.com/theskintsuk

The Skints are a young, DIY 4-piece from East London that play pop-fuelled, party-packed, passionate ska songs, with a cheeky dash of thrash, dub & reggae and a punk rock ethos.

Since forming at school, the 3 boys & 1 girl settled on their line-up in May
2007 and have been working hard, racking up 60+ shows, a DIY mini tour and some cheeky Radio 1 airplay!

With the youngest members being just 17, the future is theirs for the taking and it shouldn't be long before The Skints are taking over the world.




CLAYTON BLIZZARD http://www.myspace.com/claytonblizzard

Blizzard’s cultural mash of rap/folk/politics is like nothing you have heard. Stripped down beats serve as a backdrop for a half sung, half spoken rap style that is both honest and engaging. Blizzard’s live show is a lo-fi, one-man band affair with a simple vocals/acoustic guitar set up however this studio effort sees percussion, samples and electronic beats and sounds thrown into the mix. This only serves to solidify Blizzard’s unique sound.



CLUB / DJ LINE-UP 12AM - 4AM


DJ DIE (FULL-CYCLE / CLEARSKYS) http://www.myspace.com/djdiefullcycle

DJ Die, real name Daniel Kausman, was born in north Devon (1972). Throughout the 70’s and 80’s he attended many U.K festivals with his mother. As a result Die grew up surrounded by music. With early influences such as his father playing guitar, he began a journey into music. From Rock n’ Roll to Ska, Two Tone to Punk, he ultimately finding a passion for Hip hop. It was around this time he moved to Bristol and took up skateboarding. Here he discovered that Krust and the Fresh Four crew were mixing house, hip hop, rare groove and funk at warehouse parties just down the road from his house. “There was a movement starting around the time - there was the Wild Bunch thing, the graffiti thing, the carnival and sound system thing happening up in Bristol." Die got his first taste of musical production around 1988, when he hooked up with Jody Wisternoff, now of Way out West. Together they formed Tru-Funk and produced 4AM, a house tune released on Smith and Mighty’s imprint Three Stripe Records. They followed with two hardcore EP’s under the name Sub-Love and made numerous DJ appearances at early Universe raves. As Jody’s and Die’s musical paths split Die started playing at the many free party’s happening in the southwest, continuing to make a name for himself as a DJ. In the early 90s a chance meeting with Roni Size on the Gloucester Road in Bristol, led to what would be a long musical relationship. Beginning with their first collaboration, ‘AGILITY’ on Bryan G and Jumpin’ Jack Frost’s label V Recordings. Soon after Die and Roni, AKA Scorpio forged the seminal classic ‘MUSIC BOX’, which would ultimately lead to the birth of Full Cycle. This label would become the home for Krust, Roni, Suv and Die for many years to come. Die’s ongoing contributions to Full Cycle would include such tracks as ‘LIVE AND DIRECT’, ‘REINCARNATION’, ‘CLEAR SKYZ’, ‘JITTA BUG’ and ‘DROP BEAR’. Also with releases ‘SPECIAL TREAT’, ‘SLIDE AWAY’ and ‘AUTUMN’ for V Recordings, as well as tracks for off shoot labels Dope Dragon and Cronic under various pseudonym’s such as Swabe, Mono Man, D.N.A (with Bill Riley) and 3 Way (with Roni and Krust) . This catalogue of quality productions subsequently lead to D.J bookings around the globe, all over Europe, U.S.A, Australia / New Zealand, Japan and Brazil usually together with the voice of Full Cycle, Dynamite MC. In 1996 the Full Cycle crew came together with Roni size at the helm to start Reprezent, and record the Studio album ‘NEW FORMS’ on Talking Loud records. This album went on to win the 1997 Mercury Music Prize. They then put together a live show and set off on a world tour performing in places such as New Yorks’s Central Park and the famous BBC studios for the television show Later with Jools Holland. Fueled by the success of the Album Die kept producing his own tunes, also finding time to remix tracks by major artists such as DJ Shadow, Towa Tei, DJ Cam and Pharoe Monch (GET THE FUCK UP).
