It’s Bruce Milne! The man, the myth, the legend!

We are delighted to have him back on the Bacon Fat decks. Expect the weird and wonderful but a pumping dancefloor is guaranteed!! 🔥🔥

This stomping rarity nearly caused a riot on the dance floor when Simon Sye Saxon dropped the needle on it at the last Bacon Fat!! It’s not just good it’s really really really good!

⭐️ SPECIAL GUEST⭐️

Just back from taking the SYMCO Weekender in Wisconsin by storm, Rockabilly wonder boy James Schembri is returning to the Bacon Fat decks, spinning nothing but rowdy early R&B scorchers! He’s not just a master of primitive rock and roll guitar playing, he’s a mighty fine record selector! 💥💥💥

Floor filler of the week!!

This slice of mid-tempo R&B heaven had the whole dancefloor bopping and swaying when Jeremy ‘The Kid’ Robinson dropped it into his guest dj spot at the last Bacon Fat. So sweet!! Pure joy.

Roscoe Gordon - Surely I Love You
