Amnesty DJ's

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorThe Amnesty DJ collective consisting of Mickey Blue Eyes, Mark Freejack and Joe was born 2005 and were used by Carling to play a blend of the best indie, rock and dance music to festival goers at Leeds/Reading, Isle of Wight and V festivals' Carling Cold Beer Amnestys across the country. Going from strength to strength and winning new fans from all corners of the music spectrum. In 2006 Chris Pitcha was added to the dance side of the Amnesty collective unfortunatly 2006 would also be the last year Mark Freejack and Pitcha would grace the beer sodden decks. 2007 saw a massive change in musical direction for the crew with the introduction of underground house, breaks and techno DJ/producer Pez.At Reading 07 after a total of 35 hours playing music to clublands newest fans the signs were clear in the fact that they had hit on a magic formulea. During the day using the tried and tested mixture of new, hot indie/rock music with the usual classics and sing alongs with the odd Chems, Prodigy, Bootleg or DnB track chucked in for good measure as asked for by the festival ravers things ticked over nicely. At night time the gear was changed and a predominently mostly dance orientated sound was unleashed (hard to explain but your probabily listening to it now if you have your speakers turned on). The crowd, a little unsure at first were quick to embrace the vibs coming from the Amnesty Djs funktion one soundsystem so much so we had to kick them out after 45mins fpr a few hours to cool off after going nuts and building a 40 person strong people tower. After a few apologies across the next day from some very tired looking ravers Amnesty continued to be a hit and the last night saw numbers of people coming along (and many just not even bothering with the festivals headlining acts) from around 800 on the first night to 6000 on the last evening as the word spread accoss the camp sites of somewhere you can get cold beer for nowt and where the music is the 'tits'.2008 saw more apperances for the crew, including Rockness, Isle of Wight and the infamously hard to please V festival were a small crowd of 10,000 stopped by.If your going to do anything next year go to a festival, while your there be sure to go have a beer with the Amnesty DJs.With summer over and the festivals all but land fill sites its time for the Amnesty lads to turn there heads back towards the underground house clubs of the uk and with recent outings at Absolutely @ Loft, Blush @ Truth, Mash @ The Mill, Revolution Preston, Paradox @ The Sugar House and now on their 3rd gig in a row at the now legendary Beats of Rage (them guys really do know how to throw a rave), and with planned slots with For No Reason Amnesty should be belting tunes to you very shortly.
