Hailing from Belfast and described as "the Beastie Boys new favourite band and as delinquent cousins of Gonzales", Olympic Lifts have shared stages with the likes of DJ Cool Herc, David Holmes, Midfield General, 3rd Eye Foundation, Lo-Fidelity Allstars and Supergrass but there's a rowdiness in their rhythms that also nods to Dirty Beatniks, Urban Dance Squad and occasionally even Junkie XL. DJ Mark has also worked his decks at the launch of David Holmes' LP and the Ash end of tour aftershow party.
