Sat 27th | Join Infiltrate for a dnb night at The Smokehouse.

Magic Motion has been in the scene for over 25 years, A hard hitting and energetic DJ spanning multiple underground music genres. Dolski steps into the booth with the spirit of classic pirate radio and the sound of the underground running through every mix. Specialising in jungle, drum & bass and heavy rollers, his sets come stacked with weighty selections. From shutting down local sessions at Babas and Infiltrate to warming up for Rinse FM’s OKO, Dolski has built a name off pure energy and instinct. Active since the late 90s, DJ Jocky has earned his place as a respected name in the drum & bass scene, known for precision mixing, powerful selection, and an unwavering connection to rave culture. Jonzee is a versatile DJ whose journey began at 14 with his first set of direct-drive vinyl turntables. Originally rooted in hip hop, he returned to the scene at 39 with a renewed passion and an evolved sound.
