JACKMASTER RESIDENCY: DJ TENNIS + THUGFUCKER + ROOM 2: LIVIN' PROOF

It’s an honour to welcome Jackmaster as our resident for the third quarter of 2014. Numbers co-founder and Radio 1 resident, Jackmaster has risen to the top of his game with a unique ear for jacking house and techno. Outreaching his Glaswegian roots, Jackmaster has become an international name without producing music of his own – just one of the reasons why we think this DJ’s DJ will make the perfect resident. Fresh from delivering his first ever BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, we’re seriously looking forward to having him play 13 consecutive Saturdays across July, August and September.

Joining him tonight are DJ Tennis and Thugfucker. Flying the flag for house music in Italy, DJ Tennis’ Life and Death label has been responsible for some big release in its time, most notably last year’s ‘Requiem’ by Ten Walls. Tennis himself has released on Kompakt as well as his own label, and his own productions reflect the same big room house as L&D. The duo that comprise Thugfucker, Greg Oreck and Holmar Filipssonn hail from New York and Iceland respectively. It’s this curious mix of backgrounds that has led them to become one of the most colourful DJ acts on the world circuit.
