Neville Watson @ Slabs of the Tabernacle, 5 Jun

An acid house veteran, Neville Watson was bitten hard by the raving bug, diving head first into the burgeoning scene of the late eighties.

After the obligatory few years partying in clubs, warehouses and fields he took up DJing and opened the Mighty Atom record shop and label in Windsor which later led to a residency at Reading’s legendary acid house disco, Checkpoint Charlie, alongside Mat Carter.

Since Mighty Atom came to an end in 2006, Neville’s concentrated on releasing his own brand of deep, raw and jacking house on labels such as Clone and Dissident, also working alongside Bulgarian house maestro, KiNK producing for the likes of Rush Hour, Poker Flat and Mule, and continues to DJ worldwide.

Last year he joined forces with his brother and renowned photographer Gavin Watson to publish Raving ’89, a unique collection of photographs and tales taken from the year that house music and rave culture exploded. [Neville Watson]
