We are back at the Crofters rights this time for UK Hardcore legends 2 Bad Mice, who due to a fortuitous encounter at the amazing We Out Here agreed to come play for us.

Originally consisting of members Sean O'Keeffe, Simon Colebrooke and producer Rob Playford (owner of Moving Shadow records), 2 Bad Mice were a staple on the early-to mid '90s hardcore scene and were instrumental in the music's steady mutation into jungle/drum'n'bass. The group's influential approach to sampled beats -- cutting them up into shards of rhythm and rearranging them in novel combinations (first appearing in mature form on the 1992 hit "Bombscare") is generally considered the blueprint from which jungle's characteristic manipulation of breaks was assembled. In recent years they have been releasing some brilliant tracks for Sneaker Social Club. Expect jungle hardcore madness.

Also support from our very own George Oscar bringing his own take on the hardcore/jungle from the classic and contemporary.
