Micky Finn

Micky Finn has been there from the start. With musical roots stretching back to the acid house days of the 80’s, he’s been among the very top tier of DJs and producers ever since. The main reason being that his goal is simply to make ravers enjoy themselves, and his ability to destroy a dance floor is unparalleled!

From early productions like “She’s Breaking Up” (produced under the name Bitin’ Back), through the seminal collaborations with Aphrodite, onto his later work with contemporary innovators like Erb n Dub and Voltage, his tunes have been making people dance for over 35 years. Production standards and styles might have evolved, but the one constant has been that he knows what makes people dance! Selectors as disparate as breaks legend Adam Freeland, house supremo Carl Cox, and pretty much every jungle and D&B DJ ever, have played his tunes at some point in their career.

The ‘all-about-the-ravers’ ethos manifests in every aspect of his career. A crowd favourite resident from the earliest days of iconic promotions like AWOL and World Dance, his DJing has taken him to a passport-disintegrating list of countries. On top of his production and performance work, he has run record shops, promotes artists, and currently runs labels; Urban Takeover and Finn People. Who have over the years played host to the likes of Majistrate, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, and Camo & Krooked, among many other heavyweights. As well as knowing his way around A&R, he’s also one of the masterminds behind the monumental DnB holiday experience Sunbeatz.

Not only was Micky Finn was there at the foundations; he has also helped build the global D&B scene into what it is today. Simply one of the true icons of the rave scene and a British music institution. We are very lucky to host him for what will be an epic night!
