Got a message from Instructor Chris yesterday. He'd somehow managed to record a video to a betamax cassette and sent it to me by tying it to a raven with a flourescent sweatband. Took me til now to get it converted, so here you go!

All the feels! ❤️
Happy 30th birthday to my protegé and a dear friend Dom James 🎉🎉🎉
When I met him 12 years ago as my friend’s kid, I was rocking the Bez’s Acid Lounge at the Unfairground at the Glastonbury Festival. Seeing my rock’n’roll moment, it was the last drop for him to decide what he wants to do 😆 12 years on and he is a banging DJ, first class producer, boss promoter with his Digitise team, but mainly, a stellar friend ❤️
I’m very proud of you darling 💋
Let’s celebrate him next week in Manchester at the Digitise #006 - Deekline, Mista Trick(DJ Set) & Mini Da Minx with Special Guest - BOXPLOT(USA) 🙌
I think we can all agree the best of our nights is YOU! Cannot wait to share the dancefloor with you lovely lot again next Friday. ❤️

We cannot wait to have Mista Trick tear the roof off with a special After Party DJ set after he’s finished his band!
He’s just gone viral with his summer slammer “Splish Splash” and for those of you who don’t know what he does, he’s a fantastic Swing n bass DJ and Producer! Simply Mista Trick is in a league of his own. Mixing vintage, vaudeville vibes with distinctly down and dirty drum n bass, Mista Trick sounds like the love-child of a wartime knees-up and a 90s rave. He’s fresh, he’s fun, he’s all about the boogie. After a packed summer 2022 festival tour, including Glastonbury, Boomtown, Wilderness, Shambala, Secret Garden Party, and Camp Bestival amongst others, the ‘Do What You Do’ tour promises to bring the Mista Trick Collective signature sound and engaging stage presence to a city near you. The ‘Do What You Do’ tour, follows the release of their debut album ‘You’ earlier this year, where Mista Trick took on the challenge of creating his own original tracks with a collection of artists.
Cannot wait for a full blown Mini Da Minx rinse out! You may remember when Minxy and Madame Electrife joined us for our Halloween special and killed it, well we’ve asked Minxy to do the same but a bit more filthy!
Recently joining the legendary Stanton Sessions, Minxy is an international DJ with peak time sets at major festivals and venues all around the UK and throughout Europe, such as the Glastonbury Festival, Shambala, Czech Beats for Love and Let It Roll, Boomtown Fair, Beatherder, Shindig, the Secret Garden Party, Isle of Wight and Portuguese Freekuency festivals, even Burning Man.
Mini Da Minx is a highly animated character that plays bouncy tunes that refuse to let you stay still. Notably due to her phat and dirty basslines she is also dubbed as the little lady with big ballz ;) Originally from the Czech Republic, Minxy honed her craft DJ-ing on the breaks scene in Cape Town. Since her move to London 17 years ago Mini Da Minx became a regular player on the UK scene and 2008 saw her begin something of a residency at the legendary Mutoid Waste Company’s events. Mini Da Minx continues her forays into production working alongside producers such as Vlad (TCR), Wreckage International (Wall of Sound) and with vocalist B’licious. She's got more up her sleeve, watch this space...

We're back for another AI Tuesday. This week its a very touchy subject! But its good to see AI does know best!
The temperature at which beer is served can greatly impact the flavor and overall drinking experience. While many people prefer to drink their beer cold, there is a growing movement of beer aficionados who argue that certain types of beer are actually better served warm, including Red Stripe.
There are a few key reasons why Red Stripe may be better served warm. First and foremost, when beer is too cold, it can actually mute the flavors and aromas of the beer. This is especially true for beers that are full-bodied and have complex flavors, such as Red Stripe. By serving the beer at a slightly warmer temperature, you are better able to appreciate the nuances of the beer's flavor profile.
Additionally, serving Red Stripe warm can also help to bring out certain flavors that may be more muted when the beer is cold. For example, warmer temperatures can enhance the maltiness of the beer, bringing out more of the toasty, nutty flavors that are present in Red Stripe.
Some may argue that warm beer is simply unpalatable and that beer should always be served ice-cold. However, it's worth noting that in many countries where beer is a prominent part of the culture, such as the United Kingdom and Germany, it is common to serve certain types of beer at room temperature. In fact, in many cases, the beer is actually stored at a slightly warmer temperature before it is served to bring out the full range of flavors.
Of course, the idea of serving Red Stripe warm may be met with resistance from those who are used to drinking their beer cold. However, it's worth giving it a try and experiencing the difference for yourself. You may find that you are able to better appreciate the complexity and depth of Red Stripe's flavor profile when it is served at a slightly warmer temperature.
In conclusion, while there will always be a debate about the ideal temperature at which to serve beer, there are compelling reasons to consider serving Red Stripe warm. By doing so, you may be able to unlock a whole new level of flavor and appreciation for this iconic Jamaican beer. So go ahead and give it a try - you may be pleasantly surprised by the results.
We cannot wait to have Boxplot join us in Manchester!! 😍😍
Boston based Drum & Bass producer Boxplot has been making waves throughout the D&B scene worldwide by combining melancholic, euphoric progressions with indie and punk rock influence. Through its emotion and energy, Boxplot's music invites listeners to become immersed in the dreamscape of sound.
In 2015, his song Escape with the Clouds was released on Liquid Tones and premiered on one of YouTube’s mainstays for liquid drum & bass; Liquicity. Over the course of time, it has accumulated over 1 million plays on YouTube and streaming services alike. However shortly after the release of that tune, Boxplot’s hard drive encountered a complete failure, causing him to start from the ground up again. This unfortunate event became a blessing due to it forcing him to rethink his sound completely and come up with something new and fresh. The amalgamation of this birthed his 2017 EP release, Tramontane EP. This time being released on Liquicity Records, it showcases what most people know about Boxplot’s sound today. The title track Tramontane has become the biggest hit from that EP and has gained similar success to his past 2015 release. Following up this release is his newest body of work, Alice. An emotional, jam packed four track EP that tugs at the heart strings and leaves the listener yearning for more.
With the sky being his only limit, Boxplot’s abilities to innovate while creating an unforgettable experience when listening to his music will no doubt continue to evolve with bigger things yet to come.

I realise I never did really say Thank your for our last event. I think it’s fair to say that’s our best event to date. We really have come away feeling very loved. Biggest of thanks to all the DJ’s the venue and all of you for bringing the vibe and making it such a great party! As always we’ve been very blessed with the lovely folk who come to our events, who’ve partied with us become our friends and made us want to continue planning parties but we’ve made the tough decision that we’re going to take a break from events. We’re all going through significant periods of change in our lives and at least 50% of the team will no longer be Manchester residents which makes putting on a Manchester based party rather difficult.
