Trainspotting with CJ Mackintosh

Big tunes from the big hitters..

The original ‘Pump Up The Jam’ producer, DMC Mix Champion and one of Ministry Of Sound’s longest serving resident DJs, CJ Mackintosh returns there to play at the Groove Odyssey Easter Sunday party on April 5th alongside Louie Vega (Masters At Work), Phil Asher, Atjazz, Bobby & Steve, Jazzy M, Ronnie Herel, DJ Bigger and HouseFM.net.
If you look at the history of British clubland,  you’ll find the name CJ Mackintosh is woven inextricably into that tale – from house parties and illegal all-nighters through to British DJs beginning to create music of their own; from the acid house explosion to the British club scene coming of age with the Ministry of Sound, CJ has always been there, pushing things forwards by playing the music he loves. Here we catch up with one of South London’s best-loved DJ sons as he prepares for another big night.
