Christmas came early, with our special guests….
ELITE FORCE (U&A / LOT49)
JONNY TOWNSEND (BREAKOUTAUDIO / DEEPJAM)
ADAM CONNAL (URBAN GORILLA)
ANDY H / MR SHANKS / TIMMY DUTCH
JUST £5 OTD per usual!
With only a week before Santa packs your Xmas stockings we’ve got a extra special line-up to help burn the inevitable Christmas pud pounds! Get set for the return of the SUCKERRRPUNCH! 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. On the decks he has to be seen to be believed – Smashing floors from anywhere from Russia, India, Japan, Belarus, USA to Timbukto. A regular feature on the bills of GLASTONBURY, GLADE and BURNING MAN festivals his music gets continued support from some of the best DJs on the planet, JAMES ZABIELA, SASHA, FATBOY SLIM, CRYSTAL METHOD and LAURENT GARNIER to name but five. This is an act not to be missed. Joining him on the bill are Santa’s little helpers ADAM CONNAL and JONNY TOWNSEND in a SUCKERPUNCH bout of techno, house and breaks. 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. With scratch-artist ANDY H combining his DMC skills with the four-to-the-floor breaks of MR SHANKS and the bouncy dnb of TIMMY DUTCH. They look set to knock the stuffing outta any unhappy scrooges – Bah Humbug nowt!

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!

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!!
