Catch Luke and the Electric Acid Test every Tuesday 6-8pm, where he’ll be spinning up freshly pressed vinyl, taking you on a journey underground, playing all things deep with plenty of acid!!!

In the late 90’s, inspired by his love of acid house, hardcore, and jungle, Luke decided to buy himself a pair of belt driven turntables and a cheap mixer. Showing real natural ability for the art of mixing vinyl, he quickly gained a name for himself in his local area of Camden and for the next 8 years DJ’s in a variety of pubs, bars and small clubs around London, collecting a treasure trove of vinyl along the way!!

Around 2006, he discovered a new sound in the way of Minimal Tech and instantly fell in love with it. At the time, London’s underground scene was thriving and he became a regular face at some of the big nights, which created new opportunities.

The years that followed, Luke DJ’s at some of London’s biggest venues, Kokos, Egg, SE1, Shepherds Bush Empire, The Den, to name a few and in a mixture of clubs/bars in and around Shoreditch, whilst also hosting regular shows on various radio stations including Passion Fm, S-Dance and Loco London.

Over 25 years behind the decks, Luke is still addicted to buying vinyl and has a well-established collection. His style of music today is heavily influenced by his original love of acid house!!

Disco, funk and soul music found Steve at a young age in the early eighties.  A close friend introduced him to electro and jazz funk which opened Steve’s eyes and ears to beats and bass.  This turned into a love of house music after hearing Frankie Knuckles & Jamie Principle monster “Your Love” in the late eighties.  A pair of belt drive turntables soon followed to emulate his new heroes Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, Tony Humphries and Ron Hardy.

Steve traded in the belt drives for 1210’s in the early nineties and so began his DJing, playing house parties to pubs and then into the clubs around Manchester throughout the nineties. A short spell as an owner/promoter and DJ of “Hot House Promotions”  taught him a valuable lesson to stick to the fun side of DJing.  His love of music and DJing took him to Malta, Tenerife and Australia.

Steve moved to Australia in 1998 and continued DJing and being involved with all thing’s music.  His taste in music was eclectic to say the least, with a deep rooted love of melody coming from early influences of disco and soul, Steve always made sure there was piano, vocals and strings, never far away in any of his sets and shows.

Steve loves nothing more than to play across genres of disco, funk, soul, and house, guesting on local radio shows and most recently playing for the legendary Fantasy FM London. Join Steve as he plays both upfront and across the decades of disco, funk, soulful and house music.

D-Manic has been involved with music as a DJ for 38 years. From his roots in Funk, Rare groove & Electro to his current genres of Trance, House and all things clubland.

Learning to mix at the age of 11 led to a lifetime of adventures in music, from playing at clubs in the Algarve (Portugal) to residencies and bookings all over the UK.

Although he was making music in the late 90’s on the PlayStation for fun it wasn’t until 2016 that he decided to get serious about it when he was signed by his brothers Indy label Art Recordings. His track “Devil’s Gambit” was remixed by his brother Carl Nicholson. Carl was already a legend in the Hard Trance scene and well established so it was the exposure that D-Manic needed.

Since 2016 D-Manic has had releases on Art Recordings, SFR, DeepDownDirty, Emmanating records, 212 records and most recently on Boomtic records. His music releases, much like his DJing portfolio are a mix of genres. House, Trance, Breakbeat Hardcore, Liquid D&B, & Techno. He even released music under his real name (Dean Nicholson).

The back end of 20165 saw D-Manic get involved with Radio Presenting, from pure pirate FM to what is now more common on the internet as well as honing his presenting skills on a well-known Community licensed FM station. In order of presenting:

TF Live, Fantasy FM, RUAR Radio, Lazer FM, Mashup Radio, UKBass Radio, Divine Radio London, Unity DAB (Guest show), Funky SX 103.7 FM.

He recently created a new Trance event called Seraphim alongside his friend Marc Ansell and established brand Amped Global DJ’s. The first event was a Massive success and 2023 will see more events happening. Firstly He’s joining old friends at newly established Radio Station SSR…

Sandcastle Radio sees him spread his wings and share his love of music with his brothers and sisters in the USA. Hold on tight for the ride of your lives!

Like his music tastes, D-Manic mixes it up on both Vinyl and digital. A music lover and Vinyl collector means his shows are always different.

Music has been my hidden escape from reality from a young age and only in my later teen years found the easy escape after attending my first free parties with Taikosound and falling in love with the vibes, the music and the people.

For my 17’th birthday I asked for a set of Technics 1210’s instead of car and decided to learn the art of being a vinyl DJ master myself and have a go at playing in front of my first crowd at ben lawlers dam with some banging old school London acid Techno.

I’m hooked for life and play regularly at venues all across Scotland and the highlands spreading the sound of Acid Techno.

I’ve been a house music head since the early 1990’s and inspired initially by the early days of Kiss FM that I used to catch on the radio from my Grandmothers flat in Battersea.

Since 2012 I have been spinning my influences and experiences from Tribal UK right through to Restless Soul and Tresor over the internet so that I can share my history.

You may have caught me on Genesis, Real house radio, House FM and many more under the pseudonym ‘Balearic Astronaut’ and I hope to continue that here on Sure Sounds Radio.

“Whipping together a mesmerising flow of freestyle bass, frequency-driven abstractions, penetrating rhythms and an intangible sip of soul, Unique 3 has been on the razor’s edge of dance music since its’ inception. And there is a worrying selection of scars to prove it.”

Forever etched into Warehouse legend with the pioneering of ‘Bleep House’, Unique 3 was instrumental in evolving House Music beyond its roots in Soul and Disco and into a futuristic soundscape that drove the progressions of Dance Music as we know it, setting the standard and the headspace for a staggering number of records that followed. Unique 3 has been cited by such luminaries as The Chemical Brothers, Coldcut, Goldie & LFO as inspiration.

Unique 3’s ground breaking early UK Hip-Hop bridged the gap from the US-style into a vibrant new sound that was to change music forever. ‘Activity’ by Unique 3 was arguably the first dance track to sample the infamous AMEN break, and layered with a second break, it is easily recognisable as the “go-to” breakbeat that went on to become the staple drum sample for foundation producers of ‘Jungle’ then’ Drum & Bass’.

The inclusion of Unique 3’s ‘The Theme’ on both The Chemical Brothers’ album of tracks that inspired them to make music (Brothers Gonna Work It Out) & on Warp Records’ collection of early House tracks that inspired them to set up their world-famous label (an album aptly titled ‘Inspirations’ and later their download site named after Unique 3’s sound “BLEEP”) stands as a testament to this. – source: Virgin/10 Records Press Department

Edzy was recently reminded of Unique 3’s iconic status in the history of dance music when ‘The Theme’ was voted the number 1 track played at The Hacienda in the ’90s by the Deejays that played there. The fact that any of them can remember anything is a testament to the hypnotic power of the Bleep.

I mix music for the enthusiast’s, the followers, for those that know the difference between listening and experiencing the real story!

In my shows I aim to deliver what has been forgotten in the last 3 decades of music, the sound, the soul, the journey!!!
