Chris started djing back in 1991 playing his first ever party in a squat in North London (organised with the fledgling Liberator crew featuring himself, Julian and Aaron). Liberator soon made a name for themselves putting on parties in and around North East London in squats and underground venues, and it wasn’t long before they began hooking up with other crews doing similar stuff including Bedlam, Full On, Zero Gravity and Megadog who they all played regularly for with their firebrand mix of Acid, hard Techno and Rave. Getting involved with the illegal raves kicking off in the UK at the time (including Lechlade and Castle Morton) via their numerous traveller connections saw them hook up with crews out in Europe from Prague and Holland and they began travelling internationally as well. In 1993 they began their label Stay Up Forever to represent their own unique style, and as it progressed and they met more producers like DDR, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Gizelle, Geezer and Lawrie Immersion, the sound of London Techno and Acid Techno as we know it was born.

Chris went on to start the SUF Collective (which he runs with Aaron Liberator) and began DJing across the world including places as far flung as Brazil, Venezuela, Japan, South Africa and Australia, and his name quickly became synonymous with the sound of the London Techno he represented. Meanwhile he continued to support his roots playing thousands of squat parties and underground raves in London, UK and Europe, keeping it firmly ‘real’ despite making DJ mag’s top 100 dj list on several occasions and producing some of the era’s most popular Acd Techno mix cds. Musically he has been behind some of the scenes biggest anthems including ONE NIGHT IN HACKNEY (with D.A.V.E.The Drummer), LONDON ACID CITY (with Lawrie Immersion) , CROYDON GIRL (with Sterling Moss and Rackitt), SCUM LIKE US (with Sterling Moss), X RAY OK , SOUL MANTRA and many, many more. Chris was originally a punk on the early eighties Anarcho punk scene and carries his sense of DIY and anti system principles from then, and still plays in 2 punk bands (Dogshite and Hagar The Womb) as well as DJ ing classic punk and reggae sets. Chris still only plays on vinyl and is just as dedicated to his art and philosophy as he was when he started 30 years ago!!!

Julian Liberator

Come and help us celebrate the past 25 years of Julian’s DJ and producer career with a FREE PARTY @ The Banshee

One of London’s underground techno pioneers, Julian Liberator helped change the face of the UK dance scene in early 1991, through his involvement in the capitals illegal warehouse party scene he helped create and through founding the Liberator DJ’s and S.U.F Collective over the following years.

Whilst their flagship acid techno labels Stay Up Forever and Cluster brought them international acclaim as both recording artists and DJ’s, Julian’s forward thinking, purist yet eclectic techno imprints, 4X4, ARTEFACT and ULTRA FUNK, have achieved both world wide cult status, and industry respect, through both his own outstanding productions and by providing the first platforms for many an acclaimed international artist, including Renato Cohen, Christian Varela, Leo Laker and Mark Verbos, alongside established world class luminaries like Lenny D. and DJ Rush.

A unique and complete artist in every sense, with both vision and verve, Julian has achieved a rare accomplishment, by creating both genre-defining productions and creating genre itself. With a passion for the avant-garde Julian does not make “easy” music for the mainstream. As a skilled percussionist, his love of rhythmical freestyle and sonic excursions to the left field are adored by those in the know and have been championed for over 20 years by such supreme taste makers as the legendary John Peel, Dave Clark and Kris Needs alike.

After an 8-year production hiatus, December 2015 saw the welcome return of Julian’s unique production talents, under his Booty Slave moniker with Patrick DSP on Emetic 026. This awesome techno bomb is currently hitting dance floors around the globe, with massive support from Slam, Dave Terrida, Perc, Funk D’Void, Mr Jones, Sawf, and Jerome Hill.

With an imminent second Booty Slave release, co written with man of the moment Chicago Loop, and studio sessions over the next month with the legendary Mike Humphries of Master Traxx and a return trip to Patrick DSP’s Berlin bunker, 2016 is shaping up to be a massive year for Julian and proof enough, that whilst form is temporary, class is most definitely permanent.

As a DJ, Julian has always stood apart from the crowd. Year’s ahead of his contemporaries, his innovative, open-minded, free form approach, has always defied the narrow minded, sub-genre obsessed, mainstream. Instead, Julian fuses all styles and rhythms that say Techno to him, hard, deep, minimal, acidic, 4/4, 3/4, broken beat. The defining criteria of interest, energy and funk, are brought together through Julian’s vast and intimate knowledge of electronic music and then skilfully crafted on 4 decks, into a wilful, sometimes challenging, but always exhilarating, journey of discovery.
