Mr Double Down Presents The Big Takeover

It’s a busy time here at The Hook And Sling as we finalise all the details for our return to The Brown Sugar Bar this coming Saturday. I hope if your in the London area you’ll be able to join us for our monthly night. As usual all the details can be found HERE.

As promised here are some of the fruits from my digging sessions earlier in the week, coupled along with a few old favourites from the crates. In particular check out The Inner Drive and also the King Rubin And The Counts 45’s, two new additions which I’m sure you’ll agree really do the business!!
