ABOUT THE DJS

Lee Kirk Fagan (LKF) has been instrumental in the inception, curation and growth of London’s latest community radio beacon, Threads Radio – which now hosts hundreds of unique shows each month. Also a producer and regular face on London’s underground dance scene, Lee is a true connector in London’s musical landscape. Now attracting many thousands of listener’s globally, Threads began in January 2019, with the original studio based above The Cause nightclub in Tottenham and has now grown organically to broadcast from across London and from a family of hosts located in cities all around the world.


Optimus Funk aka Adrian Burton is a London-based DJ, digger and former street dancer who breathes funk, disco, and jazz. Having been known as one of the movers and shakers in London’s thriving dance scene over the years, it should be a divine transition for the man himself to bring the boogie from the floor and into the booth as one of the capital’s finest selectors and collectors of feel-good funk related rhythms. Often with a crew of dancer mates in tow, you’ll never find the dance floor with their backs up against the wall.
