Carasel turns every set into something special🔥
He’ll be back alongside Pola & Bryson for the first time since Boomtown last year, bringing that same energy back to Time to Move.
If you caught it then, you already know.
If you didn’t, now’s your chance to hear it but on Mungo’s Hi Fi Sound System 🔊🔊🔊
Vibes impeccable 🙏
Couldn’t have asked for a better response to the first @crowdreactiondnb , sold out @clockfactorybristol and full good energy 💫
Thanks for all the gang behind the scenes that worked hard to make happen and believed in the vision of creating a new space for MCs to emerge, we had some serious talent on display with a busy open mic session at the start and Bristol debuts for @itsfumes_ & @emp.orio
Of course gratitude to @mcspyda for blessing us, another moment in my career he has personally helped me, thank you @selectajman & @_spydajr_ for special guesting on the decks and all the crew behind the scene at Clock Factory for being on point and supportive.
On to the next one? Who should we book?

Incredible work everyone 😊
Unbelievably happy that our first event has completely SOLD OUT 🙏
Gonna be a very special evening launching our new brand focusing on celebrating MCS and vocalists in Drum & Bass!
Remember the night is called CROWD REACTION! We have done our job now it’s over to you guys the ravers to make noise and show love for not just MC Spyda but all the mcs & Djs stepping on stage tonight, show love, make noise and if you want a reload - ball out for it!

Every set essential!
With less than 24hrs untill welcome @mcspyda to the @clockfactorybristol & only a few tickets left we wanted to mention some of our favourite all time Tarantula mixes. Lets us know your faves in comments below ⬇️
1. @basslayerzdnb live Rock City @crucast_ 2024
Hope town glory for the trio with every bar being sang back like a football stadium
2. @djhype_playaz Helter Skelter Millenium Jam NYE 1999/2000 with @mc_juiceman
You can feel that something special was in the air that night as this tape oozes classics and nostalgia as Hype cuts and scratches selections for the Sanctuary crowd with horns bellowing throughout
3. Darkest Hour of Jungle Slammer 2001 with @djssform & @mcbassman_sd
The pinnacle of studio mixes, one of the cleanest recordings we have ever heard with Bass and Tarantula sparring and catching jokes over the darkest tracks and classic jump up
4. BBC Radio1 Xtra team takeover for Target.
@serumdnb Spyda, @injamusic & @caraselmc 2025
Vibes upon vibes as the mcs eat up everything Serum flings down with some classic vibes and energy
5. @djctex_dnb Spyda & @mc_murdyer - Nottingham studio mix 1999
Another classic studio mix where the selection from Ctex gives maximum breathing room to the two Nottingham veteran mcs to slice up the entire mix surgically. This one gets heavy rotation
SUPPORT FOCUS🎯
Some of the fresh and breaking talent we are featuring on Saturday April 18th at The Clock Factory… Final tickets remaining! Don’t forget every ticket purchase gives you a chance to win a microphone signed by MC Spyda🕷️

SERUMS GAFF TOUR WRAPPED & FISH SLAPPED
Big love for Serum for the call to do 4 of a his recent tour dates, had such a good time, genuine belly laughs when working and great crowds in Birmingham, Brighton, And Exeter & Cardiff.
3 hour sets are no joke but every one had different flavours and new tunes each time and energy was full high from start to finish.
Big up honourable tour member Billy bass 🐟
Big up @fradward on the 📸 and general solid behaviour.
Up the Gaff
