Oi Oi Madams - What can we say!! πŸ€”

Those of you who have read all about Chief's house music journey, will know that London in the mid-nineties was the turning point for him - in the sense of finding his true passion for the energetic, tough and harder house sounds, through the very unique London sound of the time. πŸ₯³

Ironically the first Hard House DJ Junior met was Dan, in a club in London. She'd just taken the Red Pill and down the rabbit hole she went. 😬

He is an infectious character, so energetic and passionate. But most importantly he brings the updated - remixed - re-edited - unique sound of Chief's hedonistic special time in London fully back to life in his sets, but with a modern twist. πŸ₯΄

As a rule of thumb - with all the DJ's we book, we are always thinking of what we feel is best for you all, not necessarily who we want. As much as his performances have been going down an absolute storm with you, we will confess - We book him as Chief personally wants to be taken back and he is the only one who can do it. πŸ˜‡

Come On Madams, shake your stuff! πŸ₯°

So okay Monkey Junior got a little bit carried away buying some new stuff from the revamped (only 6 pages now) Merch Site. πŸ™ˆ

So she did another little fashion show last weekend, not to show off her red nickers and ni***es or anything πŸ™„, but in the hope you can help her decide what to wear at End of Summer Party next weekend πŸ₯³

Thoughts please πŸ˜‡

Really looking forward to this, and so looking forward to seeing you all again and having a right old stomp πŸ₯³

So Matt Warne is the co-founder of No Originals who are hosting the Upstairs Room at the End of Summer Party - Saturday 5 September 2026.

But just who is Matt Warne? Well his love of music started young. At 12, his earliest influences came from hip hop and reggae, discovering the power of rhythm, bass and a great record long before he ever stepped behind the decks.

By 14, his musical journey was heading towards dance music, tuning in every weekend to Judge Jules’ legendary Weekend Warm Up on BBC Radio 1. In the late ’90s, Matt began making pilgrimages to dance music events. Those nights became more than just club experiences - they shaped his passion for DJing and the emotional connection that electronic music can create between a DJ and a crowd.

More recently, music has taken on an even deeper meaning for Matt. After surviving two bouts of cancer, music became a constant source of strength, escape and motivation. Through the hardest moments, it was always there.

Today, Matt DJs with the same passion that first drew him to those records and unforgettable nights - driven by a lifelong love of music and a belief that the right track, at the right moment, can change everything.

Music saved him. Now he wants to share that feeling with others. πŸ˜‡

So just who is DR.IZ who is playing for No Originals at the End of Summer Party on 5 September 2026.

Born and raised in Manchester during the peak of the Madchester era, Izzy grew up surrounded by the music of Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses and the explosion of rave and dance culture that followed. His love of electronic music took him behind the decks at university, where he and two fellow medical students friends built a regular night under the INFUSION name, filling halls with students and eventually being asked to play further afield β€” including a rather surreal gig at Buckingham Palace.

Then real life intervened. After qualifying as doctors, the three friends went their separate ways for specialist training and the decks, lights and PA were sold off. What followed was a career in medicine, marriage and raising three boys - eventually becoming a consultant in Emergency Medicine and a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service critical care doctor on the air ambulance.

Now, with the kids growing up, Izzy has returned to the thing he always regretted giving up: DJing.

His musical taste is deliberately difficult to put in a box - progressive house, funky house, tech house, trance, techno, new disco and deep, rolling basslines can all find their way into a set, with the occasional Afro-house or Asian influence thrown into the mix.

For DR.IZ, a DJ set should tell a story - building momentum, creating tension, finding a release, allowing a moment of reflection and ultimately leaving people with a smile on their face.

Music provides a very different kind of medicine to his day job..

β€œThere is something pretty special about seeing a dancefloor full of people forgetting everything else for a while - moving, smiling and sharing the same moment. If I can create that feeling with a set, that’s almost as rewarding as anything I do at work.”

Different beats. Different generations. One dancefloor. 😊

So just who is Rob Thomas πŸ€”

Well Rob has been a monkey since the beginnings of Cheeky Little Monkey way back in 1999, the youthful hedonistic days of Friday nights in The Showbar on the Pier. He says it would of been a dream for him to play for Cheekys back then but sadly he did not feel confident enough to put himself forward and in his own words "I was never clear headed enough as I loved partying there" πŸ˜‚

Now in his mid 50's and with less hair but still as handsome, Rob is a more focused DJ. He never thought it would ever be a tick that he'd revisit & tick off from his bucket list, so when the opportunity arose he could hardly refuse. It's common knowledge now that - if he's still here - The Chief Monkey is retiring on his 60th Birthday in 2028 with a unforgettable party. Between now and then he hopes to give as many DJs as possible who used to come to Cheeky Little Monkey back in the day, opportunity to play under his watch. πŸ˜‡

As Rob says - "At my age when opportunities arise you take them. I've nothing left to prove to other people these days, but my love & passion to share that same & new music with other monkeys still runs strong as it does in other monkeys I talk to. We still talk about the remixes, the best DJ sets with the same enthusiasm now.

It makes us happy, reminds us of those bygone days of hedonism on that Pier & hopefully to give something back to the parties that were & are currently such a big part of these golden days for us all.

Music has changed, gone are the days of record shopping on a Friday afternoon for the latest must have banger, talking about the tunes,, getting involved and sorting out our weekend manoeuvrers, those days personified a new & exciting time back then.

Cheekys was the soundtrack that bought all of us monkeys together to experience all these things and 25+ years later keeps us going back for more.

Whatever the future, wherever we go, the relived memories of OUR days as a monkey will always put a smirk on our faces, that's priceless.

To see my name on a Flyer and to be playing with the likes of Anne Savage, Rachael Shock and Dan Madams is unbelievable. I'm pinching myself"

3 more fans have just arrived to help keep the No Originals Room nice and breezy at the End of Summer Party on 5th September in The Vault πŸ₯³

These bad boys are 20 Inches big (not the DJs πŸ˜‚) and are crazy good and so powerful, way better than our other fans we have been using in the other clubs of late. Those will still be coming though, to help with your comfort and to help maintain No Originals brand reputation πŸ˜‡ Note to self, as I'm (Monkey Junior) the one responsible, that I need to bring more extension cables. πŸ€”

A piece on No Originals and their DJs will be coming next week for all you πŸ₯³

So some fun facts about Rachael Shock, who is joining us at the Cheeky Little Monkey & NO Originals - End of Summer Party - Sat 5th Sept 2026 in The Vault πŸ€”

When Chief was a really little Chimp he used to deliver newspapers to Rachael's family home πŸ˜‚ Rachael also went to School with his Sister, Jo πŸ˜‡

As part of the Brain Bashers she and Graham were the Guest DJs that played for Cheeky Little Monkey more times than anyone body else, back in the day. Her set at the Homecoming Party on The Pier this year was so magic and is still being talked about now, such a unique sound πŸ₯³

As part of the Brain Bashers music producing arm she achieved a number 2 in the Official Dance Music Charts (when it was vinyl records I believe) with a Cheeky Little Monkey Anthem, 'Do it Now!' 🀩

We can't wait to see and hear you again Rachael 😘
