Luke and Justin weren’t the best DJs technically, but they played the best records. They came from a culture of musical open-mindedness and somehow made very disparate records fit together. Be it Soul to Techno. Some people complained they were crowd pleasers and played the same record too often. However, they were crowd pleasers because they made obscure records their own. The atmosphere at the Electric Chair was unrivaled. The night was built on the music that Luke and Justin played as residents and they brought many of their heroes to play at the club. Everyone from Larry Heard to Lindstrøm played in their Manchester basement. And they ended the party whilst still on a high in 2008.
