It's not easy trying to improve on such an excellent night as the DNAudio 'Hard Times' Album launch, with Silent Witness blowing the place apart.

However...

After much jigging of diaries (and me moving my holiday ) - I'm very pleased to announce we have none other than the most mighty Break dropping by to play

For me, this is something of a personal triumph. To say I rate this guy's production skills is something of an understatement. Currently the hottest talent around the scene (and very bloody busy) - He is beavering away on his new album and hopefully will have much, if not all, of it complete and ready to play for us @ AJ's. May even end up being another album launch party - Who knows...

In addition, I'm pleased to confirm that DJ's Riot and Komplex will be on this line up after excellent sets @ DNAudio album launch. Also joining them will be a couple more 'special guests'.... Further details to be announced in due course.

Peace
