Tuesday Club @ Fusion and Foundry, Tuesday, February 10th

Featuring DJ Hype, Brookes Brothers, Toddla T, Youngsta, Oneman, Martelo & residents.

Packed out with jungle fans eager to see early 90’s legend DJ Hype , Tuesday Club announced itself to 2009 in the best way possible. A night that will go down as one of the best in recent memory, Brookes Brothers stole the show with a stunning display of electronica, drum n’bass and nu-jazz that would’ve blown the tits off Jordan. As the scene rears its head towards dark, grimy Dubstep, the reaction of the Tuesday Club crowd shows that Sheffield still holds affection towards vibrant, funky London Elektricity-esque mixes. Having worked with the likes of up-and-coming Hospitality Danny Byrd, Brookes Bros seem destined for greatness. One to watch out for this coming year, and expect to see them tear up the drum n’ bass circuit up and down the country.

Although punters flocked to another well-groomed Toddla T set, DJ Hype, the headlining act, did not disappoint. One of the pioneers of drum n’ bass, Hype has a hardcore following, and it was those he pandered to with a throwback to the early days of the rave: heavy, intense, powerful and raw. Superb stuff all round.
