As summer departs and autumn looms, we are all in for some exciting events as the following DJ's have been to confirmed to make the trip down under. RA gives you a little run down on each:
Cut La Roc - March.2002 This world class turntabilist rocked Australia on his recent tour and this time is expected to be no different. With a box full of fresh vinyl and nasty Cdr's this UK Brighton boy is looking forward to cut-up some of our best clubs. Gaining worldwide recognition with his debut album 'La Roc Rocs' which encaptualted "everything from deft rap cut-ups to camped up jump-up jungle" things have only got better since. With tours taking him throughout Asia, the USA and of course his native UK. His sets at the Big Beat Boutique continue to be revelatory affairs too, Lee either turning on the showmanship by scratching with all manner of limbs or slapping down a wall-to-wall selection of party-stoking anthems. All this coupled with the fact that he holds the record for DJing on the most decks @ one time, 9!!! Peter Lee as his Family and Friends know him is one not to miss. Cut La Roc Dates

Kenny Dope Gonzalez - April.2002 Born in 1970, Kenny has been absorbing the Brooklyn Hip-Hop beats ever since. Known as one of New Yorks original Rhythm generators it wasn’t until he was fed up of listening to “terrible records,” that he decided to put his mind to making music. Producing the 'Bucketheads' album [inside three days] led to Kenny’s big break with the standout track on the long player ‘The Bomb’ becoming a hit everywhere from the Chicago underground scene to the more mainstream Euro charts. Having worked with one of the best in Little Louie Vega he has produced both quality in the studio and behind the decks. ‘Madd Racakett’ his latest BBE compilation is a testament to his hip-hop sound and a fine example of why Kenny is set to excite Australians throughout.
