Drum and Bass night organised to help cousin left paralysed

This Saturday, 4 August, check out this Drum and Bass fundraiser event Aron organised by Pressure.

They’re bringing three of the Island’s biggest rising stars in Drum and Bass together, with all proceeds going towards funding DJ/Producer LEAF’s (aka Aron Soutar) 22 year-old South African cousin, Bianca Ackhurst who contracted Guillian Barre Syndrome earlier this month, leaving her completely paralysed.

This rare disease affects only one in 100,000 people. The good news is that 80% of patients make a full recovery, but Bianca will need help to fund specialist treatment, which is around £20K.

All takings from this night will be going directly to Bianca’s appeal. So you can enjoy D&B and help someone in need at the same time.

Anyone who wants to help can make a donation online.

Where and when and who
The event takes place on Saturday 4th August from 9pm at the Marine Bar, Ryde.

Deviation
DJ, Producer, Musician and Drum & Bass enthusiast alike, 25 year old Deviation hails out of the musical jigsaw piece that broke off the most southern point of England, otherwise known as the Isle of Wight. When either away for months on end navigating ships around the world or taking his break from work at home, he always somehow manages to find time creating music, aided by a childhood of musical exploration and an upbringing in a musically-influenced household.

After discovering Drum & Bass from a very young age, he has continuously developed a variety of productions and crafted his mixing style over the years that showcase his love for the entire spectrum of his genre. For him, it’s all about quality over quantity, deep vibes and a unique style that deviates (pun intended) from your standard producer.
