In true retro flavour DJ Steve Thorpe drops a few classics in this revamped mix which he played LIVE @ Lowdown on Saturday 14th of November.

” Whenever I play before them I like to dig in the crates to find some quality old skool classics that I don’t usually get to play out that often and mix them in with the brand new sounds. Keeps the vibe exciting, everyone was jumping!! The Stantons came on after me and tore the roof off!! Red Oktober finished the night off with a slammin’ tech set. Such a great night. Sadly one of the last Lowdowns as the night comes to an end on the 6th birthday on Friday 29th Jan 2016. “ – ST

DJ Bacon has long been a legend in the Brisbane breaks and hip-hop scene, showcasing a superb flair on the ones and twos, with his cutting, scratching and juggling being on par with the best in the business and his skills have not gone unnoticed with him supporting the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Ugly Duckling, The Roots, Hilltop Hoods and DJ Dexter to name but a few. The truth is that his performance in the DMC turntablist competition back in 2001 was a major influence in the purchase of my very first set of turntables and I include as one of my career highlights that I have been fortunate enough to share the booth (and a few beers) with this master of the wheels of steel. He recently upgraded his soundcloud account and has uploaded the absolute hottest classic b-boy, hip-hop and funk mix-tapes that are sure to fire up any party. I decided to feature this tidy 80′s Electro Miami Bass mix as it has hit my spot on so many levels but do yourselves a favour and checkout all the other fresh uploads on offer as you will not be disappointed.
