Hardcore & Old Skool rave DJ hire

Breakbeat hardcore, old skool rave and the people who were actually playing it the first time round.

Epidemik has been promoting rave since 1988, which puts the crew's own history inside the era most old skool nights are trying to recreate. That shows up in the roster.

Billy Daniel Bunter started as a teenage resident at the legendary Labyrinth on Dalston Lane in the early 90s and is as close as it gets to a walking encyclopedia of UK rave - he plays history-of-rave sets as well as straight hardcore. RatPack, DJ Lipmaster Mark alongside MC Evenson Allen, are widely regarded as the most iconic duo in the history of the UK underground, and their fusion of house, hardcore and jungle still works across every generation in the room.

For anniversary nights, rave reunions and festival old skool arenas, the booking usually wants a DJ and MC pairing rather than a DJ alone. We quote both together so the set works as it was originally meant to.

Era-authentic

Labyrinth residents and rave-era duos, not a modern act playing old records.

DJ and MC pairings

Quoted together, because old skool sets were built around the host.

Deposit-secured

Deposit comes off the balance and confirms the artist.

Common questions

Can you book a history-of-rave style set?

Yes. Billy Daniel Bunter performs extended sets built around the progression of UK rave rather than a straight club set - useful for anniversary events and festival arenas.

Do you book RatPack as a pair?

Yes. Lipmaster Mark and Evenson Allen work as a duo, and that is normally how you want them - the DJ and MC interplay is the act.

Is old skool suitable for a private party?

It is one of the most requested. The crowd knows the records, which does a lot of the work for you on the night.
