The not-exactly-glamorous name Fred Deakin may not ring any bells. But he just happens to be one of the most entertaining DJs around at the minute, in constant demand to play his highly unpredictable and eclectic sets at clubs and festivals across the country.

Better known, perhaps, as one half of down-tempo electronic act Lemon Jelly, Fred is probably the only DJ in the business capable of, or willing to, follow comedy country bumpkins The Wurzels, at a recent UK festival.

Lemon Jelly formed in 1997 and, along with his friend Nick Franglen, they proceeded to introduce a completely new, ambient pop style, rich in childlike-melodies and samples from kids' TV shows, being described by one magazine as "Bagpuss with breaks".

The band's biggest tracks include Nice Weather For Ducks, The Staunton Lick and In The Bath which have all been featured heavily on various television shows and advertisements.

Prior to forming Lemon Jelly, Fred composed commercial music for clients including Sony Playstation and Sega, as well as contributing his keyboard and drum programming skills to various artists including Primal Scream, Bjork, Blur and even The Spice Girls.

Fred's history as a DJ goes way back and his long-running London-based club night, Impotent Fury, has toured the UK with its insane karaoke slots and infamous Wheel Of Fortune, where the genre of music played is decided by the spin of a wheel.

The man's talents know no bounds as he is also responsible for all of the artwork on Lemon Jelly's record sleeves, and has worked as a designer and illustrator for Nova and The Face magazines.

He's appearing at Lavery's Bunker tomorrow night alongside resident DJ Gregz, so expect a particularly north-of-normal kind of a night, with a set flipping between heavy metal, 1970s pop and disco, Euro house, soul and punk music - you have been warned.

Homespun are safely back at The Edge Bar, tomorrow night, after their amazing show featuring DJ Domu at The Black Box, earlier this month.

This time round, it's the turn of special guest Bigga Bush to wow the crowds with his unique blend of funky, beat-laden tunes with influences including Jamaican grooves and Brazilian street percussion.

Glyn 'Bigga' Bush honed his writing and production skills with 1990s trippy dubsters, Rockers Hi-Fi, before moving on to other projects including Stereo Deluxe and Lightning Head.

As a remixer, he's worked with numerous artists including Earl Zinger, Benjamin Zepheniah and Boozoo Bajou, as well as tweaking songs by the late Ella Fitzgerald and Bob Marley.

His DJ set on Saturday will be his trademark genre-bending affair, comprising mash-ups, re-edits, new and exclusive material, while support comes from the Homespun residents Chuck, Kinda Cloudy and MCs Kat and Larriman.

There's not a lot going on for clubbers at this year's annual Belfast Festival at Queen's, although the Catalyst Arts Centre will be hosting an event encompassing all aspects of musical mayhem until October 29.

As well as freestyle jamming sessions and technical lessons on music and video production, potential scratchers and mixers, as well as budding VJs, will be welcome to drop by to polish up their performances with help and advice from some resident pros.

Meanwhile, The Spiegeltent at Custom House Square will be recreating a decadent and louche environment until November 4, with live music, comedy, cabaret and DJs providing a soundtrack to kick back to, while enjoying a few drinks and the feel of pre-war Berlin.

Name?

Music policy?

Scot's combination of hard, percussive elements mixed with melodic trance rhythms has made him one of the most successful DJ/producers around.

Over 200 production/remix credits to his name and his first track, X, was released in 1994, followed up by the huge U (I Got A Feeling) and the all-time dance anthem, Firewire.

Where can I catch him next?

Anything else?

As plain old Frank Zenker, he learned to mix at the tender age of 13 and got his first break in 1986 playing breakbeat in a youth club in his native Frankfurt.
