Maldore AKA Warwick Elkins
13 years behind the turntables and Maldore continues to lead the way in providing hyper-speed, body violating, dance floor destruction. Maldore simultaneously mixes and MCs and finds no bounds to his performance structure. Maldore appreciates that not everybody wants to permanently scramble their brains and loose control of their bodily functions in a bass driven breakbeat frenzy,,, BUT acknowledges that there are a significant number of mash-heads out there who do…thus Maldore exists
Maldore’s first audiences were those in various clubs and raves in south-east England as the jungle and hardcore fever broke loose in the mid 90’s. Maldore moved to Bristol in 2000 where the drum and bass and ragga jungle was unbelievably huge and relished learning and playing alongside the awesome Dissident Free-Party DJs. In Bristol Maldore picked up the dirty habits of Breakcore, Death-Metal, Gabba, Techno, Jungletek and alas cider which now influence his DJ sets.
Maldore moved to Reading, UK in 2004 and saw the huge potential the place had to offer. It didn’t take long for Maldore to team up with Peter Dennis and provide some unforgettable themed free-party experiences in abandoned factories, council flats, University properties, forests, HGV’s, railway arches etc. Themes included Super Mario, Voodoo Sacrifice, Clowns, Scrap Heap… The more bizarre the better, with the focus ..dropping the unsuspecting raver into spectacular environments, where role-play and anarchy roamed free. Maldore co-founded the regular warehouse rave night ‘Fractals’ and entertained along side the Breakcore legends Shitmat and Exile.
Since leaving Reading, Maldore has broadened his horizons DJing in Europe, Indonesia and now in Newcastle Australia. Maldore is stoked to have met some real keen Newcastle party people and DJs including Carpe DM, Garry Bynon, Chilled Out Flap Jack, Tom Haze, Grimmo, Chop Stuey and Phreedee who realise the importance of pushing forward new experimental rave styles. Maldore is loving the Kranky Daigital radio and is looking forward to smashing out more beats for y'all in the near future! Listen out for details on my blog and check our soirees at the Croatian Club, Wickham and other Newcastle venues.
