About Me

We were also heavily involved with one of last Summers greatest success stories - The Electric Gardens Festival in Kent. This two day event attracted over 10,000 clubbers in the blistering hot sun. Babyshake's resident DJ's - The Shake DJ's played the set of the day on the Chew The Fat! stage to over 3000 mentalists, while warming up for Layo & Bushwacka. The tent was so busy it was one in one out for the whole of the set!It's through the success of some of the events mentioned above that we were crowned "Number One Night in the Land" in February 2006's DJ magazine.We have just celebrated our second birthday in style with three absolutely huge events - two at River bar, Maidstone and one in Nottingham at Stealth in the second room as One + One's James Zabelia and Nic Fanciulli rocked the main room. Our birthday guests included Lee Coombs, General Midi, Sick Rick (Fabric) and Kid Blue (Chew The Fat!).
