DJ Scissors has been bringing the indie party to the dancefloor since back in 1997, when he started at the decks for the Monday evening Student Nights at Bar Central, before joining the Friday night Revolver line-up.

Sadly that venue became a new city casualty in 2004, when the decks went silent and the doors closed for the final time.
But a yearning to create a little bit of that Bar Central magic remained, and in 2009, Scissors gave in to the urge to scratch the itch, pulling together the original DJs for a one-off session at The Craufurd Arms.

Sixteen years later and he is still disc spinning at the Wolverton haunt, which says plenty about the popularity of these events.
On July 11, the venue welcomes The Total Stone Roses back to its stage, and DJ Scissors will be at the helm for the after party, pushing out the best tunes from the Britpop, Indie and Madchester genres.

“With more of the 90s original bands enjoying touring success, it’s clear to see there is a desire to have them back!” DJ Scissors said, “With the Adidas Gazelle’s, Fila zip-ups and baggy jeans, the 90s indie scene is certainly enjoying a second coming.”

With such a wide repertoire from which to choose, and a solid six hours to fill with music there will be a wealth of material ready to roll.
We asked DJ Scissors for 10 tracks that he will definitely drop on the night…

Movin’ on up – Primal Scream
It’s one of the originals, and always a floor filler on these nights

I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor – Arctic Monkeys
What an album and what a debut! I’m not sure I can DJ anymore without playing songs by these lads.

Step On – Happy Mondays
The dance floor is never empty when this delight kicks in with that unforgettable intro and of course the Bez-like dancing.

New Generation – Suede
For me, Suede is one of the most important bands to have graced the 90s indie scene, and they are still making great music today. A must for me.

Fire – Kasabian
We have been lucky that The Craufurd Arms has attracted some big names over the years, and twice in the last 12 months we’ve had former Kasabian lead singer Tom Meighan, and this track will light up the dance floor as usual.

There’s No Other Way – Blur
I couldn’t leave out one of the big guns… my favourite band from the 90s, and so many great tracks to choose from, this will certainly have its turn on the night.

Disco Down – Shed Seven
The Sheds have probably enjoyed more success in the last eight years than they did in the 90s. This track is always the gig closer for them, and the crowds keep singing long after the band have left the stage. Absolute banger!

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out – The Smiths
Although a reunion is as likely as The Beatles reforming, this track still stands the test of time, it’s a floor filler from one of the finest British bands we have produced. The second this track starts, the only place to be is on the dance floor.

All You Good Good People – Embrace
This album was released on my birthday in 1997. One of the best debuts in my opinion, this singalong anthem is always a crowd pleaser!

She Bangs The Drums – Stone Roses
I was debating an Oasis or Roses tune (it’s hard only choosing 10), but as we have the Roses tribute playing in the venue I’m gonna choose them.

This legendary band has been an inspiration to many, including the Gallaghers. Although we have lots of classics playing on the night, I’m sure after the gig has ended, gig-goers will make their way to have a little groove to this absolute corker from one of the most iconic bands of their generation. Or any generation for that matter
See you on the dance floor!

The bar session will run from 8pm all the way through to 2am, and entry to hear DJ Scissors at play is free.
