About Me


We ARE available for bookings now - but, if it's a wedding, I think we're busy that night...
DJ CV:
There's no point asking Mako and The Hawk in person where they've played, they'll make any old shit up. However it IS true that they've done gigs at the following venues:
Timbuk2 - Bristol
'Funky, Funky, Get Down On The Get Down' - Newbury
The Attic - Bristol
Lordy Lord - Soho, London
The Spotted Cow - Bristol
Mr Wolf's - Bristol
Day & Night - Bristol
Biog:
Mako and The Hawk are old enough to know better.
Back in the day Mako used to have trouble mixing a vodka and coke but happily now, even when the record skips, he still rips. Roughly translated that means he can beat-match. Don’t ask for anything more complicated than a baby scratch though - he even thinks that is something ‘a bit like a Chinese burn’. Definitely don’t ask for his opinions on music either - unless you’ve got all week. And no, he can’t play any instruments – unless you count the kazoo.
The Hawk, on the other hand, is not just a pretty face. Bassist for mod-funk legends Big Boss Man, bassist for those low-down dirty punks the Coffin Nails, one half of hip-hop duo the Cookers, and a solo beats artist in his own right, he’s a slut for music with a vinyl collection to match. Make sure he brings his own needles when he comes to play though. There’s a reason they call him Jack The Ripper…
