Paul Van Dyk has proclaimed Jon O’Bir as without doubt one of the most exciting producers in the world today. PvD knows his stuff so we’re very excited about Jon playing on the second part of our 12th Birthday with Above & Beyond. If you need to know more about this UK-based talent then read on:

Velos provides the hard beats for Slinky and one of our residents alongside Lee Haslam, Kym Ayres, and Dav Gomrass… all of whom will be playing on the second part of our white-themed 12th Birthday in May. We decided to track him down to Pompey and get inside his head, which was an experience. Here’s what he had to say.

There are DJs who can rock a party, a club, a festival. And there are acts that can write songs that will bring out the goose bumps in you. But there’s only one group that can do both: Above & Beyond. We’re lucky enough to have them headlining the white-themed part of Slinky’s 12th Birthday celebrations on the 1st of May. Want to know more, then read on:

Rodi Style will be DJ’ing in the Slinky Hard room on May the 1st as part of our double-birthday celebrations. He’s a name that is becoming increasingly well know with hard dance clubbers having won Best Newcomer at the 2008 Hard Dance Awards. He is also renowned for his deck-trickery and manic performance.

Superfast Oz is a permanent and quality fixture within the hard house industry. With over 100 releases to his name and tracks on every single hard house classics album you’d care to mention, this guy rocks the dancefloor. He’ll be joining Slinky for our Classics night at the end of January. Hold on tight.
