FUNK'N'SLOCUTS
You'd normally catch him DJing in a packed club somewhere between Berlin and London, warming up dancefloors for Minuit - or trading remixes with Stanton Warriors or Rico Tubbs - but this weekend he's going to be at Sandwiches and its all about you!
Funk'n'slocuts, AKA Ryan Beehre, is best known as beat maker for our very own Minuit. But his alter ego on the decks as a mean, solid, hard-working DJ is making a lot of people happy in clubs across the globe.
With his remix vinyls released under Minuit's 'Dollhouse Records' banging it in the UK, you can forget the "slocuts" tonight, there'll be a party to he had as he teams up with Dunsta to rip out a mean mix of kickin' tunes for the Sandwiches dancefloor
