"We might give out, but we will never give in" - Supar Nova



DJ Fingers outside The Spats Club.
Spats85'
DJ Fingers (of the Sindecut/Family Quest) and his Tottenham DJ Crew the Mixmasters took over the runnings of one of the first UK Hip Hop club. It was a daytime club, the age raged between 12-25, and many of the performers and party people became the cream of the UK Black music industry.

"A great club-night. The little sign about unlocking phones used to have the sign for the club on it, with a little pair of dancing feet in Spats on it. You could feel the bass from the street level on a Saturday afternoon." - Skore (TRC)

The Missappropration of Hip-Hop Culture

DJ Fingers, better known as a member of the Foundation UK Hip-Hop group the Sindecut and as a Producer, is presently in the process of creating a new project. The Misappropriation of Hip-Hop Culture is multi-faceted piece of work, dealing with the commercialisation and asset stripping of the soul of the Hip-Hop culture, and the degrading of it as a creative movement for social good.

Here is a rough preview dealing with some of the fundamentals of the project.


The Hip Hop Matrix

"Hip-Hop music and its accompanying Culture is thoroughly embedded in post-modern society. Having existed for over 35 years as a diverse, vibrant culture, it has now developed a reluctant association with the term ‘gangster rap’ by means of the mainstream media." - DJ Fingers
