After all that live music, bbq food and fresh grooves at everyone's favourite watering hole The Orange Tree comes the real dirty business in conjunction with our friends at Rain nightclub. 'So who will i see here and how can it beat the outrageous vibes i've just experienced' you may ask? Well these lot will be sure to make you dance off those 3 burgers you just ate at the bbq:
PLASTICIAN
Where better to start than our first MAJOR HEADLINER? DJ Plastician is already a well tested party starter having smashed our final Dub-Boro party last year. We got him back purely for this reason and the fact that the man knows his bass music. For those who are not clued up, apart from starting out djing grime and dubstep back in the early days of the sound on pirate radio and repping his own record label, Plastician was releasing bare records under his previous moniker Plasticman. Along with a name change to the relief of Richie Hawtin, Plastician continued to blaze a trail championing dubstep and grime to this very day and has always been a major player in the scene mainly due to his expert djing. Able to blend the deepest dubstep record into a grime banger, similar to previous guest Oneman, Plastician is bound to bring the vibes back to Loughborough. And if you need more convincing here's two heavy mixes to assault your ears. One from KEXP radio which is a straight up dubstep rave and the other for the Mishka mix series which dips between styles and is mixed expertly. We can't wait for him to smash Rain to bits!
C.R.S.T.
The second of our big names to grace Rain nightclub are the 4-man supergroup production unit C.R.S.T! We are well syked to have these guys coming to our fair town as they are literally on the cusp of stardom! Only over a year old they have amassed dozens of releases on labels such as No Hats No Hoods, Ten Thousand Yen, Well Rounded and more recently Herve's label Cheap Thrills. All smashing releases, the guys have created an updated sound of Garage which is totally addictive aswell as super hype. Although they are not just a cheap imitation of the 90s garage sound. Take their track 'Cervantis Riddim'. Starting off with what seems like a seems like a standard garage break, the track takes a Colonel Abrams sample and twists it from its original disco roots into an early night 2step workout. Better yet midway through, the track switches from sinuous drums to a 4/4 house arrangement. Chords reveal a new dimension coming across like Joy Orbison playing Groove Chronicals.

More up to date releases are also featured on this 100% C.R.S.T. mix for Rinse FM. Already producing masterful garage influenced stuff, we are blessed to have these guys come and play for us and for you!

MIKE MASES
Another one of our long time residents, Mike Mases has long been smashing our parties. Never one afraid to hold back, Mike has earned plaudits for his heavy as Hurley sets and as exemplified on this mix he can mix the heaviest records with the skill of an archer and keep your head nodding all night. Sure to bring the vibes to an already smashing lineup at Rain, Mike is one to watch!
