After another sell out in September we are very excited and proud to present Steve Cradock as part of the bill for our next STEP ON taking place on Saturday 11th November at Oxford Art Factory. STEP ON DJ's will be kicking the night off with all your favourite Madchester/Brit-Pop anthems with Steve joining us after the OCS metro show offering a classic mixture of Mod, Northern Soul and Indie bangers on the night. The perfect after party! Considering Steve's contribution to the British music scene we are very excited and looking forward to having him on board as part of STEP ON. Don't miss out on a rare opportunity to come and see him play an exclusive DJ SET down under.
