WHAT LAYS BEHIND THE MASK???
DJ Men In Masks is talented dj, club promoter and television presenter Jeff Leach. Under the moniker of The White Knight / The Black Cobra, Jeff has perfected an incredibly energetic and live performance behind the decks which has stormed the UK and European club and festival scene with unforgettable live shows. The Men In Masks collective has included DJ partners such as co-founder El Mysterio (Alex Woodhall – Star Stories), Salsa Verde (Adam Ryan – Barfly Group), Doctor Chipotle (Jez Cauldwell – Gigfoot Touring) and The Green Baron (Kaiser Saucy – The Looose Cannons / KISS FM). Jeff started spinning at London's indie and dance clubs in 2005, breaking the mould by mixing together indie, electro, miami bass, hip hop, motown, funk, northern soul, samba, baile, grime, drumNbass, house, old skool rave and everything in between.
After playing at Snowbombing Festival 07, he turned his attention upon the world of dirty chopped electro, fidget house, miami bass, rave and breaks, honing his technical ability and rapidly impressing both his artistic peers and crowds around the world. They are now regarded as one of London’s most exciting new talented and respected club and festival DJs, playing alongside the likes of DJ Yoda, Scratch Perverts, Datarock, Gucci Soundsytem, Joe Ransom, Krafty Kuts, Loose Cannons, Filthy Dukes, Annie Mac (Radio 1), Erol Alkan, James Lavelle, Justin Robertson, Sinden, Uffie and The Cuban Brothers!
And the DJ collective has gained notoriety at nights such as Together, SUMO!, Snowbombing, Glastonbury, Bestival, Le Baron and Showcase in Paris to mention a few. Whether playing a solo set or with a special guest collaborator, Jeff Leach ensures that Men In Masks always make a technically skilled and musically exciting impact on a crowd that can never be forgotten.
