This is a long article but goes into detail about the difficulty for DJs, producers and the smaller promoters in the dance music industry. Yet another bit of a reminder to support up and coming acts and not those sucking the industry dry.

Nightlife is under threat like never before. Patrick Hinton investigates the scale of problems facing dance music in 2023 and considers solutions, speaking to the industry's most visible workers: artists

One of my personal all-time timeless classics: Access! What a stormer of a tune this was in the 90s (and still is).

Here's a bit of history behind that tune. I can't believe they just casually knocked it up from nothing within 2 hours (short version of the story behind it) and just goes to show that you can produce a banger of a tune without hundreds of layers, if you get it right that is!

Morning all. All likes and follows of our socials and streams are really appreciated. It costs you nothing but a point and click, maybe a cheeky bit of typing. Even playing mixes in the background whilst you're working, doing house chores or whatever goes a long way.

So, if you have any of your own pages, mixes or whatever to be liked or shared etc. feel free to add them here. I do try and keep up with other's too where I can see the love being shared.

Very true this from Phil. Play to the crowd and not yourself.

Some might think playing new stuff week in and out in a bar/club is being fresh but it's not.

We've been a little quiet after our SWT special. A little rest after the fact, a bit of holidaying here and there and then back to look at what's next events-wise. Plus we'll have some more mixes to share soon.

Here's a little meme to cheer up your day. If you're sad, don't worry as vinyl shopping always has the answer! Hey, we're not against the digital tuneage either but vinyl memes are just better 😅

So the mix that wasn't to be has been post recorded by DDH. Due to technical issues the final set by DDH was never played. Thankfully he has still made a recording of how it might have gone on the night by playing from the tunes on his playlist for that final set.

Links below are to mixcloud via the image or soundcloud if that's your preference.

Lots of the latest banging trance ranging from some seriously pumping tech trance, to some vocal and uplifting and with a few remixes of classics too. Oh and he did plan to finish on one particular tune, a big classic from his record crate.

Give this one a play or share and tell us what you think. Spong-E and Tracid mixes to follow in due course.

BeatBloxers were at The Stage & Radio in Manchester on 20th April 2023. Sadly DDH didn't get to play his last set of the night as the night had to finish earlier than planned for technical reasons out of our control. DDH has post recorded this mix that never made it on the big night sadly. However h...

DDH has re-recorded the set he played live at Stage & Radio on 20th April. Warming up with a couple and then dropping into some serious trance classics. A vinyl mix that went down a storm on the night. A couple of bonus tunes added into this one as well.

Hope you enjoy if you missed it the first time, or you can enjoy it all over again. Hopefully mixes from Spong-E and Tracid from the live event will follow in due course and a second set from DDH where he moved on to some of the latest uplifting, vocal and tech trance out there currently.

A big thanks again from the BeatBloxers team.

BeatBloxers were at The Stage & Radio in Manchester on 20th April 2023. DDH, Spong-E & Tracid each did a mix and this was the first set of the night by DDH. First couple of tunes warming up into some serious classic trance. A mix by vinyl that was enjoyed by all on the night. We hope to do further e...

Here's some of the photos we've been able to rustle up so far. A shame we didn't have more but the phones were needed to scan tickets and take payments for long periods.

A big thanks to everyone that came along and supported the build up to our event. Hope to see you again soon.

Good morning all.

We just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that showed up for SWT last night. Also we apologise for the slightly earlier than expected finish and can assure you this was completely out of our control. We had so many tunes in our crates and USBs we could have gone on for days! Thanks for being so understanding in this regard.

We really did have a great time but it was made so much better by the atmosphere and such friendly bunch of people that dance, cheered and chatted to us all night.

Yes we will of course be back! We will be exploring options with Stage and Radio as well as other venues too. As much as we wanted to record last night we weren't able to but, no fear, we will still replay the recordings and share in due course.

Thank you again and watch this space for future news.

Final requests is please give a review and rating of our page as well as our skiddle brand if you bought tickets. The more and higher rates we'll get the more we can produce. Please also share our page with any friends and acquaitances that may wish to support us too.

Last thing is just to say thank you from the DJs and team. Love and respect from DDH (Daz), Spong-e (Kev), Tracid (Dan), LMST (Tiff) and Sammy (Sammy lol).

Thank you once again and we hope to be back soon 🙏🏻💗 💃🏻🕺🏻

P. S. We'll rummage through what pictures we tried to take and upload some. If you took any please do share as well.
