Influenza was Southampton’s (and one of the South Coast’s) longest running and most successful breakbeat parties. Originally launched as a small local drum & bass and breaks night by Luke T (drummer in Hijera) and myself, it grew to become the area’s leading breaks/drum&bass/hiphop night, featuring special guests from the UK breaks and local scenes.

I have recently been sorting through some old boxes and game across a load of press cuttings going all the way back to 2002. I found all sorts of old previews, reviews and interviews. Events include Frustrated Disco Machine, Influenza, Techno vs Breaks, outofthevoid.co.uk, World DJ Fund and Critical Breaks. Publications include The Edge (Southampton University student paper), Southern Daily Echo (Hampshire daily paper), DV8 (Southampton style magazine), Venue (Bristol listings magazine) and County Press (Isle of Wight daily paper).
