A trained violinist and former resident DJ at Planet Angel London, Ade Laugee considered a night in the mid 90’s as his first genuine awakening to modern day clubbing before gratefully receiving the opportunity to transmit the music himself in 2003.

In his continuous pursuit to develop an invigorating but thought provoking sound, he draws inspiration from the world of psychedelica plus world wide folk music / vocals that often naturally gravitates, though by no means exclusively, towards Ska / Reggae. Add Western electronica dance rhythms, particularly Breaks + D&B & you’ve a recipe that radiates summertime & open air carnivals / festivals / fiestas.

Simply immerse yourself in readiness for total transportation beyond the confines of an indoor environment.

For Wingnut – aka Will Jobbins – it’s all about the broken beats. His musical journey started at seven years old with violin, viola and double bass which he played with the local youth orchestra, and he moved on to learn to play the electric bass guitar, peaking in his late teens in a metal band with whom he gigged all over Essex and London. After breaking his fingers and wrist in a motorcycle accident he was unable to continue to play string instruments, but eighteen months ago he picked up a pair of CD players and a mixer and got stuck in, and subsequently enjoyed his club debut at the Acidic Records launch night.

Breakbeats of all kinds are his preferred earfood and he’s specialising in the embryonic and exciting psybreaks style, but Wingnut will also spin drum n’ bass, dubstep, tech/prog/electro house, chill, world fusion and a myriad of other genres as the occasion demands. If it involves floor-shaking rhythms, pulsating frequency shifts and oscillating soundscapes that make your brain melt, he’ll play it. 

And yes, in case you’re wondering, the name comes from the ears. It’s a miracle he could find earphones to fit but at least you can be safe in the knowledge that, with lugholes like those, he’s able to pick the very best tunes around to seduce your ears and move your feet. He just has to turn his head to walk through narrow doorways, but it’s a small price to pay...
