CLUB promoter Richard Atkinson is on a mission to bring hardcore dance back to Colchester.

That’s why he chose the name, Mission for his new club night, which starts at the Sky Rooms in Colchester, next weekend.

Richard explains: “I used to go to a club night in Clacton called Hardcore Shenanigans, which was amazing with brilliant music and an incredible atmosphere.

“After a while the numbers got fewer and fewer and so I made it my mission to bring it back. No one really caters for the music genre around here any more. It means the closest place is London, which is not somewhere everyone wants to go.”

So Richard sunk his own money into a new hardcore dance night, with one of one of the best-known DJs in the business, DJ Breeze, hired for the launch.

The Ipswich-based DJ and producer, perhaps best known for his songs, Let’s Fly, and Jump A Little Higher, is also a frequent contributor to hardcore compilations.

Richard says: “When you’re starting something like this, you have to have a big name and Breeze is one of the biggest. I’m chuffed we have him.”

As well as DJ Breeze, local DJs Jay Disturbance, Twisty, Van Damo and Koncept will be taking part.
