LEGACY

(Back in the Day)

Co-promoter of Norwich’s very own Back in the Day events, Legacy started DJing and raving in the early 2000’s where he earned his stripes playing many different genres before settling on the old/nuskool sounds of breakbeat hardcore. Legacy can often be found spinning the faster 160+bpm styles on vinyl with plenty of pianos to get them hands in the air! He’s played for many promotions over the years, notably Eclipse, Back in the Day, ReBoot and Top Banana and for festivals such as Symmetry, Tareout and Blueprint. Legacy is taking Back in the Day up a notch or two soon so watch out for that exciting news! Robin is a generous guy but he’d only lend you a tenner if you had change for a £20!
