Dego | Hare & Hounds | Sat 17 Jun | £10 (with limited 4 for £20 ticket offer here)
Dego aka Dennis McFarlane is probably best known as one half of Mercury prize winners 4hero and as part of the extraordinary production team behind classic remixes like 1997’s NuYorican Soul’s cover of Rotary Connection’s ‘I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun’, which Louie Vega (Masters At Work, NuYorican Soul) described as one of the best remixes ever – little to argue with there then. Unmissable.
