SETTING out with the aim of adding a new dimension to Blackburn's club scene is duo Danny Gardner and Jamie Harvey.

The pair are promotors and residents of Blackburn's newest weekly event, Boxd, which launches at Cubes in Duke Street tonight.

With an emphasis strictly on quality house music, the pair hope to cement their reputations locally for being masters behind the decks while regularly bringing in some of the country's hottest names to ensure Cubes is full every week.

Jamie, 21, from Clayton-le-Moors, confesses to have been promoting events for the last eight years, starting out with junior discos and slowly working his way up.

He is hoping that Boxd will create a real reputation and intends to build on his experience playing alongside names such as Warren Clark, ATFC, Jazzy M and Alistair Whitehead to make Fridays special in Blackburn once again.

He said: "Blackburn has the whole commercial scene wrapped up to be honest, but there is a gap in the market for a good House night. We won't be playing the sort of House you hear on Radio One, but a mixture of the new stuff and classics people already know from other clubs.

"We don't want it to be about us playing music and people coming to drink, dance then leave. We want everyone to feel part of it, almost to create our own community with an atmosphere that keeps people coming back."

Jamie, along with Danny, a 22-year-old from Accrington who has been DJ-ing since the tender age of 13, will be the residents at the weekly Boxd events.

He describes his style as 'Hard, jackin, deep and funky' playing chunky West Coast US House cuts from producers like Onionz, Joeski, H-Foundation, Chris Lum, Derrick Carter & DJ Sneak.

But guests will be a common feature as well, starting this week with Steve Mac from Rhythm Masters, Sheffield's Bed resident Cory on February 21 and Mindbiscuit on February 28.

Jamie said: "Our night has been inspired by events such as Tribal Sessions, BED in Sheffield and the famous nights in Cream's Annex.

"We hope we've got the right formula of credible music and a suitable venue to create something special locally."
