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!

SUCKERPUNCH: THE LAUNCH NIGHT

In October 2008, Vandal returned to the UK from making his US debut at the San Francisco Love Parade, alongside the likes of Adam Freeland, DJ Mehdi, Green Velvet and Claude Von Stroke.
Vandal is currently building up to his debut artist album, and starts with the follow up to his hugely popular ‘Idiots’ single entitled ‘Captain Magic’ on LOT49, which is backed up by remixes from Worthy (Dirtybird) & Ruddi Stakker (a.k.a. Will Bailey from Twocker).
You can check out Vandal’s latest promo mix featuring his tech driven remix of ‘Black Chrome’ by Circuit Freq that hit the top 5 Beatport Breaks chart for a whole month! With this in mind it’s no wonder Vandal’s production skills are hot property on the indie circuit, highlighted by a cracking feature and review by NME.com alongside an exclusive download of his Futureheads remix.
Still hard at work in the studio, upcoming releases include a special remix of the hotly tipped indie band the Baddies and Dopamine.
And if that isn’t enough Urban Gorilla legend Jonny Townsend, DMC Finalist & Tuesday Club Veteran Andy H and new kid Mr. Shanks will be out all guns blazin’ to kick off the party SUCKERPUNCH style. KAPOW!!
