FIRE POO was created by CHEAPSHOT, VICE and ERIC DLUX as a place for DJs gather and enjoy each other’s company in a non-club atmosphere. It is something that the DJ Community has needed for a long time. FIRE POO has grown to become a nation-wide phenomenon. Established DJs in the industry such as Grand Master Flash, Z-trip and Revolution have attended the event. During its incredible growth, CHEAPSHOT made STUBBS a partner of the movement.
