Sunday sees the return of FUSION. Headlining the event is none other than the FREEMASONS. FULL LINE UP TO BE ANNOUNCED VERY SOON!
THE MIGHTY FREEMASONS Steve's unique approach to DJ'ing is refreshing to say the least: "I play according to the dance floor all the time, that is my most important aim. Too many DJ's stick to one style, one formula and then when that formula doesn’t work anymore they struggle to re-invent themselves... I maintain my sound which can be melodic and big-room sounding at times but still keeping my approach embracing the sound of now" BIG TIME HOUSE Plus |
