Brad Baloo:
One half of the UK Hip Hop DJ Duo - THE NEXTMEN. The big man needs no introduction having smashed many a festival and nightclub around the country and over the pond. The Nextmen's history leaves them & their beloved followers armed with albums, singles, mash-up edits, bootlegs, specials, mixes, remixes, podcasts, DJ sets and live shows, blending anything worth listening to, be it dancehall, drum’n’bass, dubstep, reggae, roots, instrumental and actual hip hop, soul and soulful low-end boomp, funk & funky.

Chris Read:
11 years as Promoter and resident DJ at SUBSTANCE (one of the longest running and largest regular hip hop funk and beats nights in the UK) and also founder member of Classic Material, DJ Chris Read had earned his stripes in the game years ago. Formerly a BBC 1Xtra regular, Chris was also recently named winner of Mixcloud's BBE mix competition. One of the tightest, funkiest DJ's on the wheels. We at Main Squeeze are pumped to have him back to spin again.

WrongTom is a Producer/DJ from South London, now residing in the not-so-trendy reaches of the East End, he spends his days playing with tape echo and watching B-movies in his makeshift studio hidden away in a converted nunnery. Recently producing Roots Manuva's latest full-length offering 'Duppy Writer' (Big Dada), and spinning regularly for the likes of the Skylarkin crew, WrongTom will standardly rock a party right, each & every time.

Back on the beats...




















Its been a while, but due to all the heads around me banging out dope beats like its easy, it has prompted me to start up the beat tapes again. As a DJ, i am putting together a Remix EP with UK Producer Smitharene for Xmas. All the instrumentals will be available too but also for the people that spin there is also the option beats with bars. Also, the forthcoming Mo Fingaz & Bobafatt 2010 Mix which will drop in conjunction with the Main Squeeze NYE Party
