An indie kid who grew up through the drum & bass, bigbeat and garage explosions of the nineties before getting turned on to the sounds of nuskool breakbeat, ollspin (aka Spollin) has been DJing and promoting since 1999.  He has been pushing the breaks sound to ravers and party people across the South Coast and South West of England for 10 years.

Playing the full spectrum of breakbeat based music - taking in dubwise, oldskool, garage, dubstep, and drum & bass influences - ollspin is a proud supporter of the local scene.  Residencies across the South and guest sets at well respected nights all over the UK, plus regular radio shows on stations such as Brap FM, Breaks FM and NSB Radio have been the perfect opportunity to showcase his sound.

ollspin was also the main man behind Southampton’s legendary Influenza breakbeat parties (the city’s longest running and most successful breakbeat night), currently promotes the Frustrated Disco Machine and Void vs Brap parties in Bristol, is the founder of online dance music community outofthevoid.co.uk, and is involved with the Manitou free party collective.
