GONZO PT 2 SAT 24TH JUNE WITH BEDROCK
Okay guys, here it is:

The next Gonzo will be on Sat 24th June until 7am as before, same cheap booze prices (think Witherspoons), same friendly staff, and nice vibe.

There will deffinately be two rooms of music this time and for those who came and remember the marquee, this will be a chill out area with candle lit tables etc...

For our second outing, we will be putting on Mr Jonathan Lisle from Bedrock records.

One of the few to make the transition from bedroom to main room, Jonathan now plays regularly for Bedrock and has played all over the world for clubs such as Spundae and Liqufied. Furthering his passion he now also works for Bedrock Breaks in an A&R capacity.

'Discovered' by John Digweed in 2001, who was so impressed with his unique sound and his live sets, he invited him to do a guest mix on his Kiss FM show in May and play at Bedrock. The mix was so good it gained Jonathan instant recognition throughout the industry, prompting unheard of comparisons with what many regard as the greatest dance mix of all time, John and Sasha's Northern Exposure 2 cd.

Jonathan followed that by playing, in the opinion of many of those who were there, the set of the night at Bedrock's 3rd Birthday. After the crowds reaction to Jonathan's set, John was so impressed, he asked him to warm-up for him and DJ Three at the Bedrock Xmas party in Brighton, a different set but, again, the same result.

Word of his unique style soon spread globally. He was voted Worlds Best Breaks DJ in the 2002 Breakspoll, #81 in the 2003 DJ Mag Top 100 poll. Playing for Bedrock, Jonathan has warmed up for Sasha & Digweed, played at festivals from Dance Valley to Global Gathering. Internationally Jonathan has been headlining in Mexico, LA, New Orleans, Argentina, New York, Holland, Moscow, Tokyo and Ireland as well as playing with some of the very best DJs in the world; Hernan Cattaneo, Three, Steve Lawler in Atlanta, Cass in New York, Hyper and Danny Howells at the legendary Gemini party at Simons in Gainesville, Florida.

The venue is the quirkiest most chilled out place that I have ever put a party on at, and really works well.
