Domenic Capello: The Ransom Note Mix

Music

There are very few disc jockeys in the UK or even the world who can be said to have had as longstanding a legacy as Domenic Capello. As one of the most reputable resident dj's in the world alongside his counterpart James Harrigan he has amassed a reputation as a fearless selector and an infamous party starter. Harri & Dom have been at it for decades, the pair have championed Saturday nights in the Sub Club since long before a generation and continue to remain two of the very best at keeping the floor moving and the dancers happy. Playing everything from disco to house, electro to techno and whatever ever else works down in that basement the pair have been keeping the party alive for over twenty years on Saturday night. We are honoured to welcome Dom to our series…
