::: NEIL ROBERTS :::

By the mid-2000's Neil established himself as one of Wales’ busiest house DJ’s. He was a regular guest in the house rooms of Godskitchen and Polysexual in Birmingham and also Escape in Swansea. He was chosen by Mixmag to play in their Future Heroes Arena at Wales’ leading outdoor dance music festival Escape Into The Park in 2003 and then re-booked in 2004 and also in the ‘Defected In The House’ Arena for 2005.

In 1999 Neil co-founded a Cardiff based house event called FunkyDory in '99. The event won Best Pre-club at the Welsh Music Awards three years running. In 2001 Neil split from FunkyDory to concentrate on his solo DJing and also tour events for his dance music website 'Offitsface'. This turned out to be the turning point in his young DJing career. In 2002 Neil was voted position 145 in the world by readers of DJ Magazine, proof that he was turning a few heads within the dance music industry.

In the mid 2000's Neil organized tour events at many of the UK’s top clubs and giving up and coming DJs the opportunity to play at big nights in front of capacity crowds. Events included Ministry Of Sound, Smile, Slinky in Bristol plus Lamerica & Cool House in Cardiff. The list of clubs and events Neil has played is impressive.

He has played the likes Ministry Of Sound (London), Slinky (Bristol), Godskitchen (Birmingham), Escape (Swansea), Lamerica (Cardiff), Utopia, (Warsaw, Poland) Blu (Lodz, Poland), Metro (Gdansk, Poland), Savannah’s (Ibiza), Cool House (Cardiff), Perversity (Edinburgh), Kuavehume (Helsinki, Finland), HAND Productions (Oulu, Finland), The Crystal Rooms (Hereford), Bionic (Cardiff), Enzo’s (Salisbury), Stateside (Cardiff) and many more.

Neil plays most types of house music ranging from funky vocal & disco influenced house, tech house, deep house, melodic & progressive house. His favourite sets are the longer ones where he can build from funky vocal early to tech, then deep and progressive later spanning 4-5 hours or even longer.

LIVE PERCUSSION >

::: DAMIAN CAMPBELL :::

Damian Campbell is a prolific Percussionist, Drummer and Handpan from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia. With a passion and love for all things rhythmic, He sings his melodies and ignites his fire through the beauty of drums, handpan, Latin percussion and many more of these incredible rhythmic instruments.

He has been playing drums and percussion professionally now for 30 years and absolutely loves and embodies everything about it. It continues to be an incredible and passionate journey he is so blessed and grateful to be on. From performing at major festivals like Splendour in the grass, Woodford folk festival, NZ spirit fest, Pranafest, Bali Handpan festival and Bali spirit festival to name a few his enthusiasm and passion is unwavering.

His love and passion for handpan - a beautiful angelic instrument- has seen him perform in India, Bali the US and also run numerous workshops and retreats back home here in Oz. Being naturally of a more energetic and fiery player on drums and percussion, the handpan allows him to drop into a more gentle, subtle and relaxed flow state which creates a great balance to his otherwise fiery playing. The yin to his Yan so to speak.

Damo also facilitates African drum circles at men’s retreats and major festivals, whipping the crowd into an ecstatic frenzy with energetic tribal drumming and connecting them back to their inner rhythm and fire. A most joyous occasion.

Asked what is his why for performing? It’s easy he says - ‘for me it’s all about connection. Connection with ourselves and each other. It’s about bringing everyone together, coming back to our hearts and getting lost in a beautiful moment. A moment where we transcend all the barriers life can put on us (or we put on ourselves) and just smile, have fun and have the time of our lives. When we are in that moment and the music is cooking we realise we are all one and all in this life together. And damn does that feel good’!
