Krazy Kaz ,
Blessing the underground scene at events such as the well respected F.T.N in Ashton and Fractal. Kaz certainly made everyone sit up and appreciate the crazy, mad hard beat wizardry that she brings to every set. Proving she has her finger on the pulse and isn’t afraid to go up against talent like Kama, Phil Mackintosh, Ash Preston, Instigator, Syksey and the like . Often headlining events her skill, chopping and track selection were thundering through the North a few years back and she was an absolute must on line ups
on both the main stream and free party events.
As D.A.F.T Resident and Techno Twosday to date , she has played regular Fractal Events, and on Fractal Tv. Showcasing her infectious personality alongside her dark, dirty, unforgettable, electric dj sets.
Being the Kaos Extreme digital label founder helped her network with like minded forward thinking, artists and explore her love of schranz even further, deepening her stance for the fast-pounding head twisting Hard Techno filth she is renowned for.

Dave Mckellar, ( Digit3k),
Has been in the dance world for over 20 years always soaking in all that there is, always learning new skills and following new DJs, events and genres. Dave has lived in a few great cities, following great nights such as Middlesbrough Club M Tall Trees where it all started properly for him with Paul Taylor playing old school acid house raves. Living at the time with DJs, Dave mastered the basics of DJing, mastering beat matching on vinyl.
From there, Dave moved to Bath working in a nightclub called Delfter Krug, where the resident DJ Graham Scullen taught him all there is to know about the digital age CDJs. With over 7 months of being allowed to use their setup out of hours, Dave practiced every day. Then finally he got his first ever gig at a club called The Weir Lounge playing old school house. He quickly become good friends with resident DJs Graham Scullen and Tom Maddicott where once a month there was a night called Metripolis, where radio 1 recorded an exclusive mix with Annie Mac with resident Tom playing the best underground house. You still listen to that legendary night on YouTube to this day.
Dave then lived in the small village of Kinloch Leven where his obsession grew from all that is house to TECHNO, but he found he was the only guy in the village into this style of music.
2 years ago Dave met the Audiolife crew who have since helped him go so far, including his first gig at Bogbain Farm where he got to play 2 different sets in one night.
Since then, Dave has played a few gigs through Clic Sargent charity based events raising money for cancer, which he says has been great fun.
Dave also got a brief taste behind the decks at last year Shenanigan.
Dave says: I have learnt so much through the amazing help and support of Steven Flynn and Alan Macpherson (Audiolife) helping me learn theabsolute internal secrets of DJing, that not many DJs even realise nowadays but I keep that hidden for now and let everyone hear the amazing things I have learnt at Shenanigan.
Dave have also played out on Saturo Sounds radio. Dave says Iain Sabiston of Saturo Sounds asked me if I fancied a challenge, asking if I could create a 1 hour mix the day before it was due to go live. I did some research and instead of doing my usual dark techno style I changed it up a bit and chose melodic house/techno a different style for me but I know Sabistons style and wanted to ensure I blended in a good mix in after his set.
Skuttle on a few years and a change in scenery and help from his sister she put him up in Dumbarton through the covid period and he didn't know anyone so was left on his own at home alot on decks then out the blue he saw a post from an old school mate Stuart Macinnes and found himself in Dundee where he met properly and has had the biggest impression to him when he met the DIRTY AS FUNK crew, went to 1 gig and was a resident by the 2nd gig and have been a loyal resident ever since!

DJ Mikee
Mike,
Born in Belgium near Ghent in 1974.
I started my musical career at the age of 10 with vocals and piano lessons. Later I moved on to drums and keyboards.
In the 80s I began playing with cassettes and a tape recorder, under the influence of Newbeat and Acid. Early 90s I bought my first Pioneers and professional turntables. Trance became my speciality, soon followed by Underground and UK Trance. I played about anything but the commercial tracks. This gave me the opportunity to prove myself in several local after clubs.
After this period I got settled and started a family.
But as you all know… you can’t lose the music microbe. In 2015 I decided to start djing again. Techno was my favourite style and the results were quiet well. I prefer Melodic Techno and Techno with “a great drive”. My “This is Techno” and “TeCHNooLiFe!” series are well supported on my Soundcloud page. These sets are created for my monthly shows on the internet radio Fnoobtechno.com
I’m very proud to announce that I was one of the 400 resident DJs of Fnoobtechno.com. I hope this gives me some more publicity and opportunities within the Techno scene.
Since this Year (2022) I also resident Dj On technoconnection.com with a 1 hour show called “The Techno Wave”.
For now I’m only active on the internet, but I hope for more. Just like my idols, Sven Väth, Carl Cox and Pan Pot I would like to do my thing on festivals and in clubs. It would be great to entertain people and to share the style I like so much.
Meanwhile I played on some little festivals in Belgium
Recently I also discovered producing. It’s still in an early stage, but I’m eager for more.

MAXK
For over 20 years, I've been spinning vinyl and performing live sets of Acid Techno, Trance, Hard House, Psy Trance, and occasionally venturing into Drum & Bass, Breakbeat, and House.
My passion for music goes beyond DJing. I graduated from Bath Spa University with a 2.1 in Creative Music Technology, combining technical audio training with my lifelong love of music. I'm a highly skilled guitarist with nearly 35 years of experience, performing across classical, rock, metal, and goth scenes. I'm also a charismatic performer, entertainer, piano player, and singer.
But my heart truly lies with the raw energy of the Southwest Free Party Acid Techno scene. It's a unique blend of the harder-edged squat party sounds of London, infused with the influence of Dutch, German, and Belgian Techno, all seasoned with generous doses of Psychedelic and Goa Trance, OldSkool Hardcore & Acid House.
My collection boasts over 4,000 original vinyl records, many of which I still use in my sets today. I'm a master of the Technics 1200s and regularly perform vinyl-only sets at local clubs and events in the Bath and Wiltshire area. I also seamlessly integrate newer digital technologies, incorporating unreleased and independently produced tracks from other artists and my own productions, released under my label "Sense Recordings."
Beyond DJing, I'm also a promoter, having successfully organised eleven "Sense Recordings presents" live shows and actively contributing to the larger Pipe & Slippers Rave events. I'm a regular at the long-running Frome-based Techno event, Nuts & Bolts, and have headlined sets at local festivals and raves over the past two years, consistently honing my skills as both a DJ and Producer.
As a professionally trained DJ, Producer, Musician, Promoter, and Performing Artist, I'm passionate about creating a unique vibe and atmosphere that draws people in and takes them on a musical journey. I believe in the power of electronic music to bring people from all walks of life together, celebrating music, dancing, and the pure joy of raving.
While I acknowledge the drug culture that exists within the dance and electronic music scenes, I am a non-participant, including abstaining from drugs, alcohol, and smoking. I hold a full UK driving license and have reliable access to transportation.
I'm an ardent supporter of the free party, punk, and acid techno scenes, believing that electronic music should be experienced in the settings best suited for it.
