"Fried" with Epic
Storm FM Fridays 9pm - 12 midnight
|
Over the last three and a half years Epic (Ged) has established himself
as one of the most prolific and highly respected DJs on the Manchester underground circuit.
Now playing regularly for such nights in and around Manchester as Metamorphosis,
Havok, Octarine etc, and with his super charged scouse charisma, he was an obvious
choice to head a show representing all varieties of slammin' underground techno, acid and trance.

|
As well as DJing and studying for a masters in Maths and Physics he finds time to write articles
for Wax magazine and M8, sometimes using his real name "Ged Matthews" instead of his DJ name, for different
subjects.

a lot of people would not have the guts to do.

Guests:
- 27th February:
- M-Zone - The man who runs UK-44 records,
manages Boscaland records, and has his fingers in many puddings in the

of melodic trance and funky hard-trance.
