Chris Gau and Dan Savidge are old friends from way back. Having discovered a mutual love for all things funky, the pair kicked off their vinyl addiction over a decade ago. Before long they were playing at clubs all around London, then in the late nineties they headed for the north, Chris to Manchester and Dan to Leeds. They made an impact in both cities, setting up Twist FM pirate radio station in Manchester and DJing at some of the North’s top nights. During their residency at Rough Hill, a weekly funk night in Manchester, The Jinks began their first foray into the world of production, re-editing classic funk and disco records for their DJ sets. In December 2004, The Jinks made their return to the decks after a 2-year sabbatical spent building their studio. They immediately made their mark, winning the Mixmag Future Heroes DJ competition in December 2004 and taking 2nd place in IDJ's Raw Talent competition in January 2005. In the Judge's notes for IDJ's Raw Talent Competition, The Jinks' mixtape was described as "one of the most original we have ever received". As well as playing all around the world from Hong Kong to Dubai to Switzerland, and releasing tracks on MN2S as well as other labels, The Jinks currently hold residencies at Soho, Bristol, plus MN2S’s massive night at The End, playing with Heavyweights like Kenny Dope, Joey Negro and Mousse T. They are also the hosts of MN2S Masterclass show, a monthly radio program syndicated worldwide. Top notch DJs with a real flair for rocking the dancefloor – check them out as soon as you can.
