Like Jim Thompson and Harry Dean Stanton on the set of Performance or Blow Out mixed up with a Rat Pack entourage, Deany Seagulls likes to defy categorisation. He enjoys jokes in the worst possible way that translate into the best possible nights (Swap!) with a whirling dancefloor and a mix of music that is both hand raising, fist clenching and toe tapping. Groove is in the heart (of darkness) and light is a load you hang from the ceiling. Dean... Read more

Ever seen a DJ in an apron and nothing else play Seu Jorge, Symmetry and The Stranglers.
