September sees the strongest collaboration between Ultragroove and Bacardi B-Live yet, as Dimitri From Paris, Romain (BNO, Records, Paris), The Unabombers and The Trouble DJs all join Gareth Sommerville for an extravaganza of house, disco, funk, soul and hip hop, sure to be a highlight of the club's seven year history. Dimitri released his first album 'Sacrebleu' in 1997, selling 300,000 copies worldwide. Apart from notching up numerous DJ dates worldwide, his great science of mixing and entertaining has led him to release 'A Night at the Playboy Mansion', 'Disco Forever' and the 'Dimitri In The House' mix compilations, all highlighting his disco/house influences.

The Unabombers are Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford. Residents at their own legendary Electric Chair night in Manchester, their reputation has grown hand-in-hand with the success of the club they started in 1995, where they've spun alongside some of the world's finest DJs; Francois Kervorkian, Carl Craig and Gilles Peterson to name a few. They've clocked up several international gigs and also found the time to release a number of mix compilations. Romain plays regularly at Paris' leading nightclubs including Rex Club, Queen, Pulp, and Batofar, serving up a variety of musical styles taken from his huge and versatile record collection. He also runs Basenotic Records, which has seen releases from DJ Deep, Julien Jabre, DJ Gregory and Pepe Braddock and gained support from heavy-hitters like Tony Humphries and Frankie Knuckles along the way.
