After an 8 year residency in Sandinos,(July 1999 - July 2007)the time, courage and appetite were right for us to bOUNCE OUT across land and sea spreading the word of the unheard tunes of the Soul, for the head and feet !! So, coats off, bOUNCE on!!We aim to continue unearthing musical nuggets other DJ's fail to reach and have invited and spun with many musical pathmakers including SPIRITUAL SOUTH SOUNDSYSTEM, DOMU, MAD MATS, I.G CULTURE, AFRONAUGHT, (BUGZ IN THE ATTIC) QUANTIC, MARK PRITCHARD (TROUBLEMAN,) ZERO dB, MAX SEDGLEY,GILLES PETERSON, PABLO,(THE BUTCH CASSIDY SOUNDSYSTEM) THE BAMBOOS, SNOWBOY & THE LATIN SECTION, AGENT K (Kaidi Tatham, BUGZ) and THE BAKER BROTHERS.
