Sheffield's Winston Hazel is a pioneering electronic DJ and producer with a career spanning over 40 years. He is a crucial part of Sheffield's underground music scene and culture, from helping to popularise house music in clubs like Jive Turkey in the mid-eighties, to defining the sound of bleep techno as part of Forgemasters, to being a part of our underground party culture via Kabal today.
Together, Hazel & Pipes embody a sonic lineage deeply tied to Sheffield’s cultural and industrial identity. From engineering bleep techno rooted in the city’s steel-forge resonances, to crafting ragga-tinged rhythms fresh from Jamaican influences, their collaboration fuses local heritage with musical boundary-pushing.
