A rocking Hip House mix from Oli Furness to promote his new EP Death Of A Musicbox out on Recore Records at the end of this month.

Oli Furness - an artist who has been steadily releasing his 90s infused house tracks on various UK labels over the past few years and developed a refined, mature style of production that draws on classic House and Garage tropes.

Furness utilizes drum machines, outboard synths, mixers and effects units to create a warm analogue sound that reflects his involvement in the long running Manchester House scene.

Ahead of Urban Nerds at XOYO Scott Garcia has put together an incredible, hour long exclusive mix of UK garage gems old and new, touching on some well known classics that’ll get the original ravers reminiscing and newer converts skanking in their seats with his bubbly blend of epic anthems, soulful instrumentals and house infused garage!

Scott’s taking to the decks in room 2 as part of a very special squad of DJs and MCs that’s been curated by Rinse FM’s Marcus Nasty, considered by many to be one of the godfathers of the UK funky scene that’s infiltrating all corners of British dance music at rapid speed! Scott Garica is without doubt one of the pioneers of the UK garage scene, known by many for his genre defining 1997 smash ‘It’s a London Thing’ which became London’s unofficial anthem for years to come, breaking into the national charts and selling over 30,000 units. Soon after Scott set up his own label, signing a wealth of music influential scene stalwarts such as Oxide & Neutrino, DJ Luck & MC Neat, Shy Cookie and Genius Cru.

A heads-up from the man himself…“It’s a LIVE mix of old skool & contemporary dub-wise UKG with a twist of vocal and a THOUSAND TONS of bass. ENJOY!” So get your download on and enjoy some of those old skool cuts that can’t help but put a smile on your face!

You can catch Scott Garcia and Marcus Nasty at XOYO on Saturday 26th March alongside Zinc, Newham Generals, Hot City, Engine-Earz Experiment Live, Rattus & Klose and many more!
