Ray Keith is fondly known to many as one of the dons of drum & bass music in the UK. His extensive catalog boasts of eight studio albums, big remixes, his largely successful radio show Dreadcast, and numerous tours and shows across the globe. Ray began as a DJ during the UK’s rave scene days in the early 90s, and 23 years later, he is still one of the UK’s most celebrated drum & bass DJs and producers. Among over 100 remixes he’s done over the years, he is known for some popular ones like Moby’s ‘Yes Yes,’ and Congo Natty’s ‘Police in Helicopter.’
You can also catch local acts on the line-up, like Armand Joel – a DJ, turntablist and runner of WRKSHOP RECORDS. He also plays house, techno, trance, and jungle, having supported big names in the past like Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Kimball Collins, Badboybill, and many more. You can find his work on House of Tones. His DJing throws back to the underground rave scene in Austin, back in the 90s.
