Winter, eh? The nights are drawing in, getting up in the morning is a right chore, the economy's shagged and it's getting pretty cold. But lo! All is not doom and gloom; after all, we're getting closer to an event at the end of the year which everyone, irrespective of colour or creed, loves. A time for giving, a time for warmth, a time for love and mutual respect, and most importantly, a time for RAVING!!!

Ho ho mother****ing ho - it's the Tinnitus Christmas Party!

Bringing the festive musical jollity will be the following rosy-cheeked noise-merchants:

Dolphin - LIVE
(Planet Mu/Deathchant/Pacemaker).
Hardcore techno legend, at Christmastime, in Sheffield. Hallelujah!

Subhuman Disorder LIVE
The Northeast's cheekiest gabber elf is making a return visit to the Redhouse, with a fresh bundle of tearing new material, including a 190 bpm version of 'Away in a Manger' (actually, I made that bit up but it'll be mint anyway).

DJ Happyslap
Tinnitus's newest, most mysterious resident will be playing a set of classic hardcore so sublime that even the Baby Jesus would bounce about to it, perhaps whilst nibbling on one of the Blessed Virgin’s milky-white funbags. Believe.

Eskoloi
Pounding, pounding, pounding techno music from the most adorably diminutive London-based Scouser in the whole chuffing line-up. Schranz-a-licious!

Sinista Tek
The gentlemen are merry but they’re definitely not resting, the sheep are wandering unattended and the three wise men are hugging the speakers in wondrous adoration. I don't think I need to tell you why . . .

Distorted Panda
After his ludicrously good closing set at the last party, tha' Panda will be bringing us more of the same. Or perhaps something completely different. Either way, you KNOW it'll be sick.

And, if that wasn't enough, the Gabber Santa (!) will be making a very special appearance in his magical Gabber Grotto, with gifts overflowing from his bulging Gabber Sack. You can sit on his knee and everything. Oh, and we’ll be running ‘til 4.30 (licence TBC). And we might sort some mince pies and mulled wine. Tinnitus – the party that keeps on giving.
