'One of the basic situationist practices is the dérive, a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiences. Dérives involve playful-constructive behaviour and awareness of psychogeographical effects, and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll.' Guy de Bord.
The notion of the dérive is an essential part of the idea of Hackney Players Association. Well, we seemed to hook up with a common grounding theme of dancefloor music and had reached similar conclusions through very different paths. We are not exclusively Disco or Dub or House or Punk but an amalgamation of them all.

About Us
- The Hackney Players Association
- 'The H.P.A found each other on the path of least resistance. They stared at each other wondering if this was the perfect situation.' The Super Sound High Fidelity party trio ‘The Hackney Players Association’ are Leon Mayes from The Off Key Hat, whose records are played by too many DJs to mention, Andy Newcombe the backroom alchemist behind Discobox and many other soirées, and Toru who almost singlehandedly runs London’s finest vinyl emporium, Vinyl Junkies. They can be found most weekends riding their Bozak system on a wave of higher modulation through London’s underground party scene with their sets causing Dissident’s head honcho Andy Blake to comment, ‘easily East London’s premier DJ and party team’.
