The biggest New Years Eve party in the UK returns to Rock City, Stealth & Rescue Rooms to bring in 2011. Having sold out for the last 2 years, the line up for this year’s Countdown is second to none. With several of the biggest nights in Nottingham on board to provide 7 arenas of music, for 4,000 people, running from 8.30 till 6am and with Funktion One sound throughout this promises to be an epic New Years Eve celebration!• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The mighty DJ ZINC will be filling midnight slot upstairs in Stealth, playing his trademark 'Crack House' sound.
Starting out in the world of Jungle and Drum & Bass, DJ Zinc (as part or True Playaz & Ganja Kru) produced some of the all-time classics of the genres - including 'Fugees Or Not' or 'Super Sharp Shooter', before slowing down his tempo to the 130s - hitting the chart in 2000 with the garage anthem '138 Trek'.
Zinc continued producing D&B until 2007, when he became disenchanted by the lack of originality within the scene and decided to take some time out to consider the musical direction he should follow in his career. In 2008 he returned, playing a hybrid of house sounds - from deep house to UK Funky house to fidget house, and was soon producing something that did not fit into any of these sub-genres. He later named his new sound Crack House.
He dropped his first 'Crack House' mixes in late 2008 & early 2009.

After releasing his first 'Crack House EP', the buzz started to build on a new track 'Blunt Edge' which featured on his January 09 mix. After an initial low-key release the song was re-released with a vocal from Ms Dynamite under the new title 'Wile Out', gaining daytime radio play and once again hitting the charts.
Since 'Wile Out' Zinc has also had success producing for Katy B - including her track 'Louder':
And with the release of 'Crack House EP 2' Zinc's track 'Nexx' became one of the biggest dancefloor tracks of 2010.
