About Me

We began DJing in Cambridge at the Q Club in 1997 after blood money from Rachel getting horribly run over bought us a pair of decks and a mixer. SR started as a regular monthly club night in July 2000, Upstairs at the Garage following a gig we did for stupidcat the record label we "run" a few months before that. We most recently released the new Econoline album so go to the label page and give it a listen, you can order it from us cheaper than it is in the shops.
We currently run a club at the Buffalo Bar on the third Friday every month. We are still waiting for the Garage to reopen! We really really like playing records and are happy to do so at any gig where the bands are good so please don't be frightened to ask us or feel like you have to pay us to do it (although I am a skanky student so would never turn down hard cash or free beer ha ha). We put good bands on at our shows. If you join our mailing list on our website or using the form below you will get in cheaper for all our shows, plus a few times a year we do free shows for members.
You can also see who we had on in the past and who we have coming up in the future on our website. I've been recently adding our mailouts and a list of the records we play at clubs on the blog on this page.
I am still running about a month behind approving bands as friends so please be patient, and I will catch up one day...if you fell off the bottom of our request list because i've been exceptionally useless recently, please go ahead and try again sorry!
