| 29 JUNE : BIGGER THAN JESUS (Excentric) & Hydroponic Music |
|
BIGGER THAN JESUS AKA Nick Adams and Pete Robinson are two of the most creative producers and DJ's to represent Northern England shizz! Constantly bringing their hedonistic party vibe, which their poor mama's christened them with, to wherever they play. This has lead to gigs in every major city in the UK and beyond, including an Abandoned Zoo in Ibiza and a strip club in Leeds. Their recent remix of Fergie's 'Larne Express' for Excentric received a devilishly scorching reception, climbing high in the Beatport chart and they've been hailed by Fergie himself as the ones towatch for 2008!! Bigger Than Jesus certainly have a rather bright future ahead of them.... Or is that just the white light of Jesus himself at the pearly gates, ready to give 'em a ticking off? Bigger than Jesus have a bit of banter The Courtyard Sessions Hydroponic Music was established in 1998 to provide quality underground music to the people of Belfast and beyond. Nearly a decade later, Hydroponic nights have defiled the notional blueprint of many formulaic music events, crossing genres from underground dance to roots reggae and seminal soul to classic rock n roll. High profile guest appearances from the likes of Primal Scream, Andy Weatherall, Shaun Ryder, Afrika Bambaatta, Howard Marks and Trojan Records (to name a few) have rubber stamped Hydroponic Music’s underground kudos, while a glut of talented local jocks have provided bass busting DJ sets and jaw dropping live performances. Hydroponic DJs have also appeared in cities across the UK and Ireland, including London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Glasgow. Hydroponic Music has one mission statement: NON STOP BODY ROCK. Mark Gilliland
A flagrant disregard for sticking to the rules is the reason why his genre busting sets stick out from the in crowd. Mark’s DJ appearances usually feature as the soundtrack to some of the most memorable nights in Belfast.

Support slots have come thick and fast alongside the likes of Adam Freeland, Richard Fearless (Death In Vegas), Asian Dub Foundation, Primal Scream, Howie B, Lo Fidelity Allstars, Afrika Bambaataa, Keith Tenniswood (2 Lone Swordsmen), Oasis DJs, David Holmes, DJ Hurricane (Beastie Boys), Dub Pistols, The Surgeon, Howard Marks, Blood & Fire Sound System, Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays), Alabama 3, and Adrian Sherwood to name a few. “Michael McKeown’s way with the decks has ensured a loyal following that will happily venture to the edge of the city on a regular basis” The Guardian ![]()

BIGGER THAN JESUS (Excentric)
Michael McKeown is the founder and long standing resident of Hydroponic Music – one of the most respected collectives on the Northern Irish music scene. Spending most weekends playing records in nightclubs, McKeown is a versatile DJ who refuses to be pigeon holed - as likely to lash out electro bass and acid house bombs in one club, while firing an arsenal of Stax Soul and Jamaican rocksteady in the next.
