Frank and Fast Fun Lovin’ Criminals DJ set
Born out of the New York club scene, Fun Lovin’ Criminals have always straddled a variety of genres – everything from rock, hip hop, jazz, funk, reggae and even lounge with aplomb. Their eclectic style has seen them become a firm festival favourite and a multi Platinum and Gold act in the UK and Europe selling over 4 million records worldwide.
Two thirds of Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Fast and Frank Benbini, take the Fun Lovin’ Criminal swagger to the decks having played at some of the biggest clubs, parties and events around the world. Together they’ve gotten people on the dance floor and are the “go to” party starters for brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Gum Ball Rally, Red Bull, G Star and for clubs like Bungalow & (NYC and London) and Sky Bar (LA and Miami).
Fast – started the band Fun Lovin’ Criminals in New York City in 1993. With FLC he has toured most of the world and on his travels has been able to buy up vinyl everywhere FLC performed. Upon entering the digital age, Fast managed to digitize all his music giving him the flexibility to play just about anything without having to bring crates of records with him!
More a lover of good, recognizable classic tunes as opposed to being a turntablist, Fast brings a unique approach to spinning at a party.
Frank Benbini AKA “The Rhythm Man” – holds down percussion duties for FLC as the band’s drummer as well as being is Fast’s partner in crime on the decks.
Very Special Guest
Top Secret special guest will be coming on the night. Come find out who it is on the night!
The Allergies
The newly formed duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat know how to party!
Drawing on the sound of vintage funk, hip-hop and classic breaks, the pair have been getting heavy props since their debut Heartbreaker EP topped download charts at the start of 2013.
BBC radio legends like Rob Da Bank and Craig Charles have been championing their boom bap sound. While DJs like Yoda, Kenny Dope and Format join the ranks of the great and good that have caught the bug for The Allergies infectious beats.
Boca 45
Always ready to hit the clubs, armed with a heaving box of 7” vinyl. His aim? As it has been on all his global travels and international DJ shows, to whip crowds into a frenzy with his crazy collection of vintage vinyl gems. His hugely popular ‘Boca Plays his 45s’ mix series comes close to capturing this magic, and a DJ in his element. Playing 45x45s in under an hour, he touches on vintage breaks and grooves from the history of funky music with a deft blend of disco, early rap, soul, and of course, all that goodtime funk!
