Waifs & Strays (Leftroom, Hot Creations) – A very special NYE tear up with none other than men of the moment Amos Nelson and Rich Beanland better known as Waifs & Strays. A duo born out of diverse musical backgrounds but brought together by a love of house music, pure and simple.
A decade in house music has seen Amos promote and DJ at some of Bristol’s most influential parties, including the infamous superclub, Scream. He has played across the UK and Europe, with virtually every big name DJ you care to mention, holding residencies at some of dance music’s most influential parties. Rich took a different path, first cutting his teeth in the world of jungle and drum ‘n’ bass, before finding himself at the heart of the fledgling dubstep scene, Producing under his ‘Soundbox Productions’ moniker and releasing on various labels including dubstep giant Boka Records, a chance meeting on Bristol’s after-party circuit saw this duo’s diverse musical backgrounds brought together to create the effortlessly eclectic and undeniably unique sound of Waifs & Strays.
This Is Tmrw DJs - a collective of Birmingham based DJ’s and Bands who’ve recently hosted the likes of Matthew Dear, Neon Indian, Casio Kids, Mark E, Midland, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Toro Y Moi and many more, as well as playing DJ support to the likes of Mount Kimbie, Jamie Woon & Metronomy….Expect a four to the floor mix of jackin and bass driven house, classic and contemporary disco and everything inbetween..(plus an eye-opening trip to Berlin’s underground fetish clubs), This Is Tmrw DJs are all about the dancefloor.
