Get ready to dance, dance, dance! Future Tranmissions is organising Day Rave Number Two, and it will feature a headline set from the pioneering British techno and electro DJ, Billy Nasty.

Pioneering headliner Billy Nasty

Billy Nasty is a foundational figure in the underground dance scene with a career spanning more than 35 years.

He holds a unique place in music history, having mixed the first-ever commercially available DJ mix CD in 1993 for the Journeys By DJs series, an achievement that earned him a spot in the Guinness Book of Records.

Beginning his career in the London Acid House scene with a residency at The Brain Club, Billy Nasty has since performed at premier clubs and festivals worldwide.

His sets are renowned for their versatility, with everything from rare groove, funk, house, techno, and electro coming off his decks.

Supporting line-up

The event features a curated selection of support DJs to complement the techno legend, including TommoHawk, Dale Martin, and Jimige.
