BRETTER DAYS with @slapfunkrecords
Third and final volume of this short series is the @f.r.e.a.k.e.n.s.t.e.i.n debut at the infamous red box.
Taking over from his Brawther, TdC’s alter-ego jumped on the decks bringing a whirlwind of emotions through the musical expressions of his Freaky side.
Exploring the realms of Electro, Breaks, Techno and everything in between, t’was a memorable day for the amazing Slap crowd that joined this sunny May afternoon.
One love to our @slapfunkrecords family and to Mr. Slaparazzi @zinodegroot for capturing the essence of these timeless moments.

Dungeon Funk. The party where the “Meat got Slapped“ at the rave mecca of @fabriclondonofficial for a bank holiday Meating.
Throwing it back to this incredible moment in time where our kr3ws merged into one for what was an outrageous night of world-class music.
From Ron Obvious’s live debut in room1, a masterful closing set from Dungeon Funk, to the incredible room2 performances of the young padawans A.M. Project, Azaad, Keefy G and our gangsta gal Georgia. The night brought the Special Force in every sense, to every sense. We also have to mention @soyvelasco , @djsenc@jackling_oscurolondon and @doudou.md bringing the heat to the floors. All killer, no filler. Huge thanks to fabric for hosting us.
We then kept it rolling until 6PM the next day for what was a epic day of music and celebration at @starlanepizzabar . One for the memory bank.
Swipe to the side for some highlights.
2. @manlikeazaad@a.m.project shutting down room2
3. @ronobv debut room1
4. @georgia__dj killing the closing set room2.
5. @keefy_g slaying the warmup with some homegrown beats.
6. and not least, @dungeonmeat b2b @samueldeep_ under the Dungeon Funk alias bringing room1 to a SHUTDOWN.

BIG highlight at High Lights as our girl @reeshy_____ proceeded to take no prisoners at the latest @fuse.london experience.
We’re so proud of our talented lass as she proves to the world exactly what she’s made of time and time again.
You can catch her playing again for the Fuse crew at their yearly Street Party in Birmingham on the 24th of August.

They say, “Every cloud has a silver lining,” and we can now say that WE have one of our own as part of our family. We couldn’t be happier to give one of the UK’s shining lights, Silverlining, a HUGE welcome into the “Force.”
His impeccable taste, vast record collection, and masterful skills have seen him continuously active under different aliases since the mid-nineties. Having played in over 40 countries, many several times over, global demand for Silverlining (aka Asad Rizvi) remains as high as ever. Having been dubbed a “master of groove” by XLR8R magazine, he continues to construct a concrete reputation with his compelling and genre-melding DJ sets. Heaps of experience in music seem to pay dividends for him as he manages to manoeuvre through his collection with real tenacity and flair, proving his inner knack for reading a room and dance-floor.
As a producer, Asad’s music has a timeless quality that continues to resonate with DJs and collectors around the world, with a body of work that spans three decades and hundreds of records across a plethora of aliases and multiple genres.
His legacy, ever-evolving sounds—that seem to always escape the box they are put in—and his wonderful humility, perfectly fit with everything we are about here at Special Force. We couldn’t be prouder to add him to our already amazing team of world-class talent.
“For me,” Asad says, “the atmosphere at Special Force is exactly what I am looking for in an agency right now. I’m in the company of individuals with whom I resonate both as artists and as dear friends. The wonderful booking team gives both artists and promoters a rare personal touch that can only foster fruitful, long-term relationships.”
Slide to the side to get a glimpse of the man in action at dance institutions like Fabric and Houghton Festival, plus get the latest on his new releases that are due to drop this summer, including a special triple-pack compilation of his key collaborations from the early days.

We are teaming up with our hombres Hearlucinate for another night of musical marauders at our favourite pub the Lion & Lamb.
We’ll be presenting the world class talents of @ronobv and @itsgarrettd for the evening and showing you why they are so highly regarded both in the studio and on the decks.
As always it’s first come first served and the last parties have been sell outs so don’t hesitate or procrastinate …. HEARLUCINATE 💣🎶
Tickets on RA so go get em.
BIG ONE this weekend as our boy @ronobv is making his debut at the legendary @berghain_panoramabar for @limousine_dream featuring a top shelf line up. We can’t wait to hear him tear up the dancefloor with his high octane live set that’s been constantly evolving and turning heads each time he performs.
If you’re there this weekend make sure you do not miss it.
It’s time for another SPECIAL showcase of our formidable FORCE at our favourite boozer in London. This time we are exploring hi energy electronics, breakbeat bombs and sleazy machine funk with two of the best @f.r.e.a.k.e.n.s.t.e.i.n and @ralph2020vision under his Exit Planet Earth alias . The last 2 showcases have been complete sell outs so expect the same with this and grab a ticket upfront on RA … see stories for links.
Exit Through Your Mind 🤯

@dimensionsfestival
We are thrilled to announce that our favourite freak is flying across the Atlantic to make his debut in New York for one of the city’s premier underground parties @resolutenyc . Catch him in the shadows, under the strobes rocking his hybrid set where he blurs the lines between Live & DJing. So get ready NYC because @f.r.e.a.k.e.n.s.t.e.i.n is coming to take a big bite out of the “Big Apple” …. buckle up, strap on your boody and get ready to get wet with sweat. 💦✨
