Uncle G

Slipmatt at The Fox and Firkin

Slipmatt is a British musician working in techno, born in 1967, who released the first album, SMD 1-5+, in 1996. Over more than three decades in the rave scene, this DJ and producer has built a reputation that spans club nights and recorded work, and the headline set of this Hardcore Halloween night is given to Slipmatt.

Before Slipmatt plays, the Planet Wax crew opens the evening with a selection drawn from jungle, hardcore, acid and neighbouring styles. Planet Wax is an independent record shop in New Cross, south-east London. It also runs the 1-800-Dubplate cutting studio, where dubplates can be made, and a community music bar that caters mainly for the underground scene. Dexta and Uncle G complete the line-up on the bill.

Fox & Firkin is a concert and performance venue at 316 Lewisham High Street, in London SE13. The night suits listeners who follow hardcore, jungle and acid sounds, and who want to hear a long DJ set rooted in the rave tradition.
