What's on

DJ Hitman Johnny is rolling in with a USB full of old school anthems, fresh cuts, dusty classics, and late-night heaters all night long.

Cold drinks. Loud tunes. Good people. The kind of Friday night that starts with “just one” and ends somewhere near sunrise.

If you like your music with a bit of grit and your dancefloor a little loose around the edges — this one’s for you.

Gizzys only and lonely defence against this black parade..
Tasteless trash! An amateur "musician" with a delusional disregard for anyone subjected to his meanderings. Gimmicky and awkward, this talentless twit should be ashamed or scorned.
