JACK OPUS
ANDY H
Mr. SHANKS
TIMMY DUTCH
JANUARY SALE! ONLY £4 OTD!
There really can’t be a better way to kick off SUCKERPUNCH in 2010 then with FABRIC resident DJ, TAYO: a champion of BASS music for over ten years.
His night ‘Cool & Deadly’ started life in 2007 as a club night at Fabric and has since gone on to host it’s own tent at the Glade festival.
The opening remit for the project was to explore music where “The backbone is dub and the body is bass”.
Guest DJ’s alongside Tayo have included the likes of Digital Mystikz, Skream, Oris Jay, Drop The Lime, Iration Steppas, Freq Nasty, Buraka Som Systema, and Trojan Sound System.
He’s also had radio shows on both BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra.
His “Fabric Live 32” mix was the winner of ‘Best Compilation’ at DJ Mag’s Best Of British Awards.
One of the original pioneers of breakbeat Tayo started Mob Records in 2000, one of the first breakbeat labels and early home for the Stanton Warriors, and released classic records by artists like Rennie Pilgrem, and Beber & Tamra, as well as the first Plump DJs mix album.
His sets now take in everything from dub reggae, breaks, garage, dubstep, jungle and beyond – if the bass is big enough to rattle your ribcage, this guy’s sure to be rocking it.
Support on the night comes from steel city bass soldier Jack Opus, and the Suckerpunch DJ team.

Making a long overdue welcome to the Steel City, needing little introduction and joining us for a pre-festive workout is U&A records head-ho-ho-honcho the ‘Shakforce’ ELITE FORCE. With a record-box rammed with peak-timers so filthy they have guaranteed his place on Santa’s naughty list for years to come. He’s collaborated on breaks, house and tech-funk productions with the likes of DEADMAU5, D.RAMIREZ, PLUMP DJs and STANTON WARRIORS and he’s even developed his own dubstepbreaks sound with refixes of BENGA, AC SLATER, CASPA & more.

As former Urban Gorilla Residents and working with the LOT49 nights this should prove to be a festive clash that even your Nan (before the glass of sherry) would get down and rock the “rocking robin” to. And continuing in a similiar festive vein are the SUCKERPUNCH residents.

PROVIDING THE BASSWEIGHT…
FRIDAY 20TH NOVEMBER
DQ, FITZWILLIAM ST., SHEFFIELD.
11PM ‘TIL LATE. JUST FIVER OTD.
REDLIGHT (CLIPZ)
STOATY(TUESDAY CLUB)
MR SHANKS + TIMMY DUTCH + KROOK KID
Let’s get rrrrrready to rrrrrrrumble!
The artist formerly known as CLIPZ unleashes his new guise, REDLIGHT on Sheffield for the first time!
DJ Clipz has evolved considerably as an electronic music artist over the last decade. It all started with his ‘Mystic Amen’ jungle smash in 2001; he slid down the ‘Slippery Slopes’ around 2005, and now in 2009 the man has created a new genre which is getting support all over the globe. This player could well represent “world cup” of electronic music, because every four years he comes around with a new game.
So what exactly is Redlight? “I’ve been wanting to do something new for a while now,” says DJ Clipz’ alter ego. “I’ve always been into various styles of dance music and this year felt like the right time to start releasing something different. I need to push myself and feel like I’m moving forward. Creating a new sound with a new name is a way of doing that.”
Sub Focus is influenced by minimal techno; DJ Fresh by electro house; but Redlight’s brain food is difficult to categorise precisely. “It’s brand spanking new baby!” Redlight beams. “I don’t want it to get pinned down; but it varies and spans a few different tempos. There’s definitely a lot of different influences, from acid house, techno, hip-hop, jungle, hardcore, ragga … and even country & western?”
Redlight’s sense of humour has been transferred intact from his Clipz doppelgänger. “The biggest tune so far?” Redlight throws a question into the ether. “The track getting the most hype at the minute is defo ‘Feel so Good (Wine Up Your Body)’ featuring Zaniah, Dread & Redskin. It’s receiving some major support from Skream, Goldie, Rusko, Toddla T, Chase & Status and Jack Beats. The track’s a proper old-meets-new thing! It’s going to be on the forthcoming ‘Lobster Boy E.P’, which I’m putting out in November hopefully.”
We’re guessing that Redlight has gelled with some cool artists, working this new style. “Yeah, me and Toddla T are doing a couple of bits at the minute, and there’s a track with Jenna G and Jammer on the E.P too. I can’t reveal anything else until my future collabos are finished…”
What kind of DJ sets does Redlight build around his styles? Does he ever bridge the drum & bass/tech punk genres together? “I’m just trying to make all different kinds of sounds that I’m feeling, but they’re all roughly around the same tempo so I can put them into my DJ sets.”
What kind of feedback has Red Light been hit with? “I’ve been getting positive words from many people I respect, so I’m happy about that, but at the end of the day, I’m doing this thing for me, to push myself forward and create new vibes and sounds in the studio, and for the clubs…”

FRIDAY 16th OCTOBER @ DQ, FITZWILLIAM ST.
11PM ‘TIL LATE.
DJ FRESH (Breakbeat Kaos)
VANDAL (LOT49)
ANDY H + TIMMY DUTCH + TJRM (SUCKERPUNCH)
+ MORE!
Just £5 on the door
After last month’s breakbeat epic from Napt and Mark Ross we return with another night of hip hop, house, breaks & drum and bass – get ready for the SUCKERPUNCH!!!
DJ FRESH is one of the founding members of legendary DnB outfit BAD COMPANY (alongside D-Bridge, Maldini & Vegas). He set up the Breakbeat Kaos label with Adam F which later signed little know aussie trio PENDULUM.
With a new album in the pipeline, FRESH’s recent releases ‘HEAVYWEIGHT’ and ‘HYPERCAINE’ have been smashing floors and airwaves all over the shop.
VANDAL was the first guest artist to appear at SUCKERPUNCH and is still one of our favourite DJs to have played the night.
Vandal is not one to mess around when it comes to builds and dropping bangers. His supercharged sets are perfect for dark, raging clubs, one of the reasons he repeatedly plays Fabric. It’s great to have him back at Suckerpunch.
Support comes from the usual Motely Crew of residents and some special guests, spread across TWO FLOORS of bigness…

FRIDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER
DQ, FITZWILLIAM ST. SHEFFIELD.
JUST FIVER OTD!
NAPT (4 x BREAKSPOLL WINNERS)

NAPT are THE most exciting thing in breaks right now, beating the likes of Stanton Warriors, A-Skillz, Plump DJs and Evil Nine at the recent Breakspoll awards to take home three trophies including best producer, track and remix.
They’ve also been awarded best breaks track by Beatport, the dance music download site.
NAPT consistently tear up dancefloors from here to Timbuktoo with their trademark melee mixing – double dropping, cutting, scratching and crowd hyping.
Just listen to their mix in the links below for a sample of just how good they are. THIS WILL BE BIG!
We also welcome back the man who first brought the breaks sound to Sheffield with the awesome Urban Gorilla night – Mark Ross. He’ll be gettin you nicely locked in the groove from the off alongside the usual Suckerpunch motley crew.

It looks like the boys from bassfire have some competition, I spotted this little gem while I was on holiday.
Anyways the real point to this post was the other little gem I heard recently by Alix Perez. The samples for his soon to be released album 1984 are enough to make you salivate worse then pavlov’s dog. The new album showcases all the facets of his production, combining 140BPM downbeat tracks with the lyrical genius of Ursula Rucker, Yungun and the Foreign Beggars.
If you didn’t catch him at one of the many festivals he’s played so far on his 1984 tour, then don’t panic. The Tuesday Club have only gone and booked him for 10th November. I know that’s a bit of a long way off so check his myspace for all the album samples here.
Enjoy!

FRIDAY 17TH APRIL @ DQ, FITZWILLIAM ST. SHEFFIELD.
11PM TIL LATE. FIVER OTD
M.I. LOKI (Tricksta)
JONNY TOWNSEND vs. MARK ROSS (Urban Gorilla)
NEW.JACK.CITY (Bigger than Barry)
ANDY H (The Tuesday Club)
CLIPBOARD (First Word Thursdays)
After storming sets from VANDAL and the DRUMATTIC TWINS at our previous events, we open up the floor for a royal rumble with a Steel City Smackdown! M.I. Loki make serious waves with their awesome Tricksta label, putting out amazing breaks and dubsteppy tunes and generally bringin the heavy noise in their sets. With a nomination for Best Breakthrough Producer at Breakspoll under their belts, they’ve continued to please ears and feet wherever they go.
Mark Ross & Jonny Townsend have been integral to the development of the dance music scene in Sheffield over the last decade through the amazing Urban Gorilla night. Tonight they’ll be going head to head in a versus set that’ll cause guaranteed dancefloor devastation. New.Jack.City has recently become one of the Sheffield fam, having branched out from Brum with the Bigger Than Barry mob. He’s one bassy badass. Andy H should need no introduction, legend of The Tuesday Club and easily one of the best DJs you’ll see.
He’ll be assisted by his First Word Thursdays tag team partner Clipboard, playing meaty beats. Pound for pound, this is set to be a musical rukkus you’re gonna want to get stuck right into.
Let’s get rrrrrready to rrruummmmmble!
