Shades of Rhythm....

Rayan Gee, Nick Slater and Lanx met when they were very, very young and started off producing music to play out in their hometown of Peterborough.Things soon changed in 1989 when multiple tracks from their self pressed album “Frequency” took hold of the emerging Rave scene; Homicide, Exorcist, Sweet Sensation, Sound of Eden and Frequency not only changed the lives of these three young producers, but also the lives of thousands of people around the globe… and thus began the success of Shades.Shades of Rhythm were thrown into a rave whirlwind and played alongside groundbreaking artists The Prodigy, N-joi and K-Klass at raves and clubs such as Raindance, Fantazia, The Astoria and The Haçienda.

The band were soon snapped up by the Warner Brothers imprint, ZTT and found themselves the subject of every magazine, TV show, DJ and clubber throughout the world. A constant stream of LIVE shows continued and Shades of Rhythm were soon entering the Top 20 of the UK National charts and appearing on Top of the Pops on BBC 1.Fast-forward to 2018 and the Shades are still very much at the top of their game headlining bills on the Oldskool circuit for Fantazia & Raindance and performing at award-winning festivals such as Arcadia stage at Glastonbury alongside Carl Cox and Heidi, Boomtown Fair and Slammin Vinyl’s festival Tranzmission.

Ellis Dee...

Known as The Captain, Ellis Dee's name was firmly established when he headlined for Fantazia throughout 1992 and beyond, including performing as a PA under the name "Rhythm Section" along with Newton & Rennie Pilgrem. His mix tapes from this era are regarded as seminal classics. Ellis Dee released several big tunes at the time under the name "Ellis Dee Project" including "Rock to the Max" on the Fantazia: The First Taste & "Desire" on Fantazia: Twice as Nice. Ellis continued to dominate the Jungle scene throughout the nineties and the breaks scene beyond. 

Currently working with the likes of Eats Everything, Ellis is going back to his roots for BACK 2 THE OLD SKOOL! A true global DJ and pioneer of dance music as we know it.

DJ Apache...

One of the most accomplished and recognised DJs in the South of England and beyond. Apache helped carve out the South West rave scene throughout the Nineties with classic sets at Dreamscape, Dance Planet and many more. The Apache has landed once again... back 2 the old skool for one night only.
