This week as we continue to keep Sundays special we welcome The Revenge back to the Sub Club, where he will be holding the fort all night long.
Graeme began producing in his early teenage years, making a skewed blend of electronic music using a couple of his dad’s old drum machines and a sampler. Influenced by his parents collection of rock, soul and funk as well as eighties daytime radio and the burgeoning rave scene, he began the process of dissecting and re- imagining the music . His versatility as a DJ has seen him rise to prominence with a string of productions and remixes including Z Records, reworking their classic sounds with artists such as Johnny Adams and The Joneses to much critical acclaim.
This brief and concise catalogue reinforces the breadth and depth of The Revenge’s influences and abilities while an omitted but extensive list of reworks and remixes tell yet another story, finding their way into just about every self-respecting club DJ’s collection as they do.
Ahead of his return to the Sub Club we asked The Revenge to empty the contents of his own record bag…
