Freestylers at Sound Club Penzance
:. FREESTYLERS .:.
These breakbeat banditos first hooked up after a chance conversation exposed their joint love, some might say bordering on obsession, for music - "we were just chatting about old hip-hop records! recalls Aston, "and realised we both owned all the same tunes. We'd both been making house and Matt had this idea for an electro track so we just started working together." That electro track became 'Drop the Bomb' and on release in '97 launched the pair as the Freestylers.
.:. KRISTOFF .:.
Snatch the Wax Resident DJ Kristoff is on the support slot! Kristoff has recently played alongside Krafty Kuts, Featurecast & Rennie Pilgrem.. and Kristoff can certainly hold his own with the big boys. Snatch the Wax regularly fill up venues across Cornwall and Plymouth, and they always goes down a storm in Penzance
Residents Boris and DS will be on hand to smash out their usual chart bangers to warm you up for Jules, and Room 2 will be a massive commercial party too.
.: OPEN 11PM - 4AM :.
