Ratpack

You can not talk Old Skool without mentioning Evenson Allen (MC) and Mark "Lipmaster" Mckee. Together they form the legendary Ratpack. Formed in the late 80's out of the illegal warehouse scene of East London when they started running their Tripcity nights, they were booked to play at the early raves of Sundance, Biology, Raindance, Fantazia and Perception. Their unique sound and DJ style enhanced their reputation, leading them to be booked to play in Europe, Australia, USA and the Far East.
