Deejay Vicar
In a climate where DJ’s have all but surrendered themselves to what everyone knows, Vicar remains one of the few DJs left who bravely attacks each set with both a teacher’s wisdom and a student’s excitement. Seamlessly blending ‘never before heard’ tracks from genres and eras spanning the history of music with timeless classics and new school gems, Vicar remains a testament that good music is good music regardless of familiarity.
