SUNDAY 28TH JUNE 26
WAX. THREADS. CULTURE.

No algorithms. No streaming playlists. No fast fashion.

Just boxes of records, fresh apparel and a room full of people who still appreciate the real thing.

I'll be set up at Cuttin' Aboot this Sunday with a stack of vinyl for sale and a selection of apparel available on the day.

Come dig. Come browse. Come support local.

THAT'S what it's FXCKING about. ⚡️

A c*nt travelled from NEWCASTLE for records. Meanwhile some of you won't travel 10 minutes for culture.

Massive respect to everyone who came through, dug deep and supported the movement. Big love to the crew for having us.

This is why we do it.

Not for algorithms. Not for trends. For the records. For the culture.
For the heads who'll travel hundreds of miles chasing that one tune.

Keeping the dream alive. 💿

Some people leave music behind.
Others leave a frequency that stays with you forever.

Harvey McKay was one of those rare souls. 💔

His sound shaped nights, inspired DJs [myself] and connected people through pure energy and emotion.

Growing up in Glasgow’s scene, his music became part of my story.

Thank you for every memory, every dance floor, every moment of escape.

Harvey McKay
Rest in Power
See you in the next dimension.
When we are free. 🖤

SATURDAY 19TH APRIL 26

AJAY C made his ###plosive debut for on The Block stage.

Mix is now on the WWW. 🔗 IN BIO

What an honour it was to be chosen to play the final farwell of TERMINAL V festival in Edinburgh.

I can't thank BEATPORT/TERMINAL V enough for a truly unbelievable experience.

"I was totally out my comfort zone for this show. Being a VINLY DJ. This was my 1st fully digital performance in neary 10 years. I really had to up my game. Spent a week in the studio. DL music and hired a set of 3000's to learn the toys. Longest prep for a show. Opportunities like this you have to grab with 2 hands. I really hope I pulled it off."
AJAY C

My warriors. Be the judge. 👊🏽
