2 BIG THUGS
http://www.2bitthugs.com | http://soundcloud.com/2-bit-thugs
After smashing on to the music scene in 2008 with their heavy-weight basslines, hip hop vocals and four deck/2 mixer genre defying DJ sets. They rapidly gained support from a wide spectrum of headline acts like DJ Yoda, Jack Beats, Atomic Hooligan, A.Skillz and Russ Cuban as well receiving radio play from Kissy Sell out and Annie Nightingale, both on Radio 1. Their first festival season saw them play the headline sets at Glade, Aeon and Tignesfest to capacity audiences, and this year the diary is getting busier by the day. 2010 sees the Thugs ‘go it alone’ when they launch their own Blog, Label and Store on the 1st of April (no joke!) over at http://www.2bitthugs.com. The duo will use this platform to release exclusive original material, FREE remix parts, DJ mixes, continuing with their successful ‘Re-Rub’ series and keeping the fan base up to date with gigs, news and general nonsense..

The London launch party sees the 2 Bit Thugs pull in the remix producer line up from their first release ‘Darsh’ as well as a very special guest.

Kid Fiesta has been immersed in the dance music scene since the early 1990’s, growing up on a staple diet of hip hop and early house in Manchester clubs such as The Hacienda. Some 17 years later he still has the same enthusiasm for the scene as he did back then, only now he’s helping shape it.
