Legends of the rave, Shades Of Rhythm, have had another incredibly busy year gigging their way around the UK and Ibiza and here on Advent Day 23, we give you a taster of how things have sounded with a mind-blowingly brilliant breakbeat mix from The Professor, Nick Slater. Nick’s mastery and trickery when behind the decks are on full show in his one-hour rave-driven mix, where he splices together old-skool and nu-skool tunes with the extreme precision we’ve become so accustomed to. The spirit of the early rave days is firmly in place in Nick’s mix and because of the music on board, your arms may well stay in the air for the entirety of it. Ladies and gents, it’s rave time!
2023 is sure to be another action-packed year for Shades Of Rhythm and a couple of tasty shows have already been announced on their socials. The first of those is at Q in Shoreditch where they’ll be joining the House is a Feeling crew on Valentine’s weekend and the second is at the mighty Printworks for Clockwork Orange’s last party at the venue before it closes. They’re also playing at Rezerection’s New Year’s party at the end of the month and if any of those parties interest you, head over to their Facebook page on the link below for further info.
If you’re a fan of Shades of Rhythm and you didn’t know that a good chunk of their back catalogue that features their biggest hits and some previously unreleased material is available on their Bandcamp, popping over there on the link is an absolute must! So much greatness to own.
