Beats of Rage Sixth Birthday with Justin Robertson

Beats of Rage celebrates six years of unparalleled party starting mayhem by welcoming none other than DJ, producer, remixer, label boss and perhaps the best dressed man in techno - Justin Robertson, to treat the Preston crowd to one of his legendary DJ sets.

Having hosted the likes of Foamo, Boy 8 Bit, Herve, Hostage, Drums of Death, Baobinga, Jaymo & Andy George and Jokers of the Scene in its six year career, Beats of Rage now turns its attention to one of the most important figureheads of dance music in the UK - Justin Robertson. Being something of a stalwart of the underground scene in the UK since the late eighties, Justin Robertson has enjoyed an eclectic career which has spanned music of so many genres, working with and remixing artists as diverse as A Guy Called Gerald, Bjork, Felix Da Housecat, Happy Mondays, Ladytron, Erol Alkan, Suede, 2 Bears and In Flagranti. 

Since moving to Manchester near the end of the eighties, Justin became embroiled in the thriving rave scene, working at Eastern Bloc Records and later becoming a regular at the Hacienda, leading to his further establishment as one of the most important DJs on the Manchester scene. He remains one of the most in demand DJs working today - this year alone has seen him headline the dance arenas at Bestival, Beat-Herder, Electric Elephant, Wickerman, and Festival No.6.

Being almost synonymous with the Bugged Out brand, as well as becoming something of a resident at The Warehouse Project, Justin’s sets have become the highlight of many a messy night out. Check out his mix for DJ Mag (above) to get a feel for what he is capable of behind the decks. His love of riffy, dynamic records that are primitive, primal and visceral result in epic sets that are as memorable as they are pleasurable. Expect jacking styles from oddball disco right through to techno, with plenty of acid house thrown in there for good measure to get this edition Beats of Rage really bouncing.

Justin will be ably supported by the Beats of Rage residents, The Filth Wizard, Breadman, and NoFuture, all deploying their own take on everything from house to garage, techno to electro to the delight of the BoR faithful.

Prepare for an almighty birthday party!
