I’ve just got settled after spending the night in the comfortable hands of Lola and Nulty from Whilst Other Girls. Thanks a lot for the Peroni’s, much appreciated. Last night saw the return of one of Sheffield’s finest exports to the south, DJ Risco. If you’re not in the know about Big Dog Risco, you better ask someone. One third of Sheffield hip-hop collective Constant Creation, Heads from the Hills DJ and top notch turntablist Risco is one of the best producers in the UK today. Here’s one of his old summer jam mixes:

DJ Risco – Filthy Few

Friday night was great, in three words it was loud, messy and surreal. I’ve never had the pleasure to have people bum rush the stage, see a blind emcee move the crowd and watch Ms. Dynamite apply make up all in one night; like I said surreal. Renegade Brass Band tore the roof off, I was happy to shout over the top of them, the crowd was exceptionally positive through out the whole performance. One person was so into the rhythm he found himself on stage before being hauled off by Security. The Nextmen were great, unfortunately our set times kind of ran through both of our performances so we only caught the last fifteen minutes of their set. They did a real good remix of Major Lazer and Santigold with High Contrast that I managed to catch, dopeness. Brad and Dom thought Rory the drummer from Renegade Brass Band looked like a miniature DJ Yoda.

We managed to get some live shots from the gig:
