Skull Juice



Skull Juice are a London two piece who have been hyped up by the likes of Erol Alkan and the Ed Banger crew from paris.

They have been trying to make an impact on the elctro scene in London for the last year and have in the recent past been lucky enough to play Fabric and support the likes of Justice.

Below is the Skull Juice online blog with links to the Podcast and live sets.
