Aside from breaks, Mr Bristow can often be found cutting and scratching at Brand New Beat at the Social, Oxford Circus, which boasts some of the finest UK Hip Hop talent.

With an ability rarely equalled in the saturated world of wannabe DJs, Mr Bristow is a unique performer who can adapt to any situation and get the beats pumping and the crowd jumping.
