The Hook And Sling Presents The Big Shake Down

First up, a big big thank you to everyone that made it down to The Brown Sugar Bar on Saturday. It was good to see our regular crowd mixed with some new faces. Jamie C joined us and played a great funk and rare breaks set. Watch this space for future collaborations.
Props to Risk and all the Breakers who showed up and entertained us, and also PJ of Galactic Fractures fame, who made it all the way over from Boston in the states! Hopefully he will be gracing us with a guest mix for these pages in the near future.

The photos of the night can be found HERE

Todays mix is another joint effort from all of us and comes from Saturday’s play boxes. Hopefully it will be just what's needed to kick start the new week for you. Enjoy!
