- Yemz (EC2A, Foundation FM, SWU.FM, Club Djembe)

From 2015 onwards, Sprung’s legendary UK funky day parties played host to the likes of Hard House Banton, Supa D, Apple, T Williams, and Crazy Cousinz, among many others. They shone a carefully curated annual spotlight on the OGs of the scene in a way that was rare to see outside of the capital.
- DJ Stolen (Club Djembe, SWU.FM)
El Capitan! Stolen co founded Club Djembe, so we might be a little biased when we say this, but is without the doubt one of the most talented DJs in the game.
