DJ MF Tkr
MFTKR has had music in his blood since before he was born. From when his Dad used to Djay at the Lakeside or when his Mother played music to him in the womb. Getting his first turntable when he was 10 he started collecting vinyl, his collection has taken him to across London, Reading, York, Wales and the Czech Republic, and a lot of venues in Basingstoke, and played on many sound systems and with great djays. He plays a lot of styles from reggae and hip hop to acid house and techno to Drum N Bass Jungle and Gabba and everything in between. But his love of Old Skool and Jungle is what he loves best.
During this performance he was playing Dance Music which is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. By 1981, this new form of electronic dance music developed. This music, made using electronics, is a style of popular music commonly played in dance music nightclubs, radio stations, shows and raves. During its gradual decline in the late 1970s, disco became influenced by computerization (the first notable fully synthesised disco hit was "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer). Looping, sampling and segueing as found in disco continued to be used as creative techniques within Trance music, Techno music, and especially House music.
Electronic dance music experienced a boom after the proliferation of personal computers in the 1980s, manifest in the dance element of Tony Wilson's Haçienda scene (in Manchester) and London clubs like Delirium,The Trip, and Shoom. The ongoing influence of Shoom can be seen in its 25th anniversary party, held at Cable Nightclub on 8 December 2012, which sold out in four days. The scene rapidly expanded to the Summer Of Love in Ibiza, which became the European capital of house and trance. Clubs like Sundissential and Manumission became household names with British, German and Italian tourists.
This performance took place at the Creative Stage at the Basingstoke live event. This took place in tent supplied by Carters Tents who completely lined the inside of the tent to create a night club effect and with the decor supplied by Jane and Pog and extra equipment from Digital Disco Services this was the place to be this weekend with all the DJ’S, Workshops and Junk Fashion. The amazing lighting here supplied by
Basingstoke Live is a FREE two day event taking place in the heart of Basingstoke. The event showcases the best in local artists alongside national and international performers. 2013 saw five stages packed with a mix of music and dance from a huge range of artists. There’s something for everyone!
Note the fan and water bottle as temperatures had reached 31C as health authorities urged the public to take care in these potentially "dangerous" heatwave conditions. It had been the UK's hottest day of the year so far after temperatures reached 31C (87.8F) at Heathrow Airport, according to Met Office figures. They topped the previous high of 29.9C recorded at Edenfel, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland the previous Monday. The soaring temperatures saw shoppers spend thousands of pounds on the high street and online, buying barbecues, food, sunscreen and garden furniture. But the heat had also prompted warnings from health authorities urging the public to take care in the potentially "dangerous" heatwave conditions.
