On the 27th, our Sheffield brethren Bad Taste take over the basement of The Camp for their latest rave. This time they have badman Seiji headlining the bill. Also on the bill is LV feat. Josh Idehen of Northern Line fame (if you haven’t heard this song you are missing out) and Deft. More importantly, in our eyes, you have badman dj/producers Checan, Walter Ego and Darkstorm ready to turn The Camp basement into the place to be on the 27th. All that for only £6 on the door.

Checan quietly dropped this mini-mix on the world today on twitter. It’s a fun 12 minute mix that combines garage, bassline, dubstep and a wicked Slick Don Inna Dis blend reminiscent of Mele’s Pow Blend. In which you get a familiar vocal which the crowd loves and constant changing of beats to forgotten classics which makes the muso-heads go crazy as well. You can listen to the mix below. I really like Checan, he seems to be one of the few guys out there just enjoying what he’s playing, whether that’s from his age or the fact that he ain’t from London is immaterial he’s just a badman.

And you can grab that Slick Don blend over here.
