After putting on The Bays for nothing in Autumn, Peepshow Innovations returns with another stellar line-up for unbelievable value!Hexstatic are Stuart Warren Hill and Robin Brunson, and together they have been consistently breaking new ground in Audio and Visual entertainment since 1995.Hexstatic started experimenting with video at the first Big Chill festival and then went on to become resident VJ’s at Ninjatune’s famous Stealth night and a host of other UK clubs.They collaborated with Coldcut and Greenpeace for the Natural Rhythms Trilogy, which included the award winning AV single Timber.REWINDHexstatic released the UK's first completely AV album entitled Rewind in August 2000.Read more.Jon Hopkins is a musical shapeshifter: a composer, pianist and a self-taught studio wizard. He makes affecting, bold electronic music using walls of synths, lustrous melodies and amorphous bass rumbles. As such his two albums have seen him labelled by the likes of ambient patriarch Brian Eno as an electronic innovator while an impressive sweep of artists from Herbie Hancock and David Holmes to King Creosote and Coldplay, have called upon his handiwork as a producer and composer.In fact, Coldplay were so taken with Light Through the Veins - which is earmarked as the first single from Hopkins’ new album Insides - that they used a reworked version to bookend last year's bestselling Viva La Vida and persuaded the 28-year-old Londoner to spend the last six months of 2008 opening their live shows across the USA and Europe.Read more.Experiencing Echaskech play live will re-define your expectations of what an electronic act can achieve in a performance. Their unique style of melodic dance rhythms blend a spectrum of flavours from the warm chord progressions of Brian Eno and Ulrich Shnauss to the filthy subs of Modeselektor, all strung together with in a seamlessly building set that is seductive and uplifting to the point of air punching euphoria. Their real-time mixing and structuring from sequenced parts has lead to a set often compared with the finest moments of Orbital live. Read more.Echaskech websitePaddy FreeformAfter picking up the DJ bug while working in a record shop in the early 90s, Paddy Freeform has gone on to forge a career taking in several high profile residencies and playing at just about every open minded party in the North East of England.UNIVERSAL VIBES: Freestyle.Music.Internet.Radio www.universalvibes.comUniversal Vibes was set up by Paddy Freeform in 2004 as a platform for some of the styles of music which he felt were under-represented, both on the internet and in the music industry in general.

I've moved the boring bit no-one ever reads where you try and make yourself sound cool and interesting (a tough job when you're me) over to the left, making more valuable space for whoring around my DJ residencies in this bit. But, if by some remarkable twist of fate, or more likely because you're exceptionally bored, and you do actually want to read about me and my DJing career thus far, read over there! 8-)
There are a few videos on youtube of me in action below, starting with one of me in my favourite venue anywhere on the planet - the disco shed at the Big Chill in 2006. Thanks to everyone involved in making it, classic times indeed. Enjoy!
And the one below is from Secret Garden Party in 2007, man that was a fun gig!
In the Disco Shed again, back at the Big Chill, 2008
And this is me interviewed in the Disco Shed live on BBC3 by Rufus Hound, at the Reading Festival, August 2007 (after the Table Tennis!).
