Swing Ting ft DJ Q | Soup Kitchen | Sat 19 Oct
DJ Q (pictured) is somebody who we’ve wanted to put on for a long time – he’s simply one of the best DJs in the country right now, drawing from all areas of the garage spectrum. We’ve also got a debut for Murlo’s DJ Sharda alias, alongside Samrai, Fox and myself.

Jagged Edge & 112 | The Ritz | Sat 19 Oct
If this was any other night than this Saturday, I’d be here. A 14 year old Ruben Platt would be very excited about this – two of R&B’s most legendary groups under one roof. Seriously though, come to Swing Ting instead, one of us will probably play Where The Party At to compensate.

Thanks to Swing Ting.
