About djsherlockohms

Unknown's avatar
Obsessive music nerd for since his formative years, Sherlock Ohms finally pulled his finger out and started inflicting his collection of Funk, Soul, Hip-hop, Reggae, Breaks, Beats and random ephemera on the unwitting public in mid-2008. Since then he's graced the airwaves of Big Chill FM and Purple Radio, the stages of the Festinho festival, and the DJ booths of the UK fluffing for the likes of DJ Moneyshot, Boca 45 and Ugly Duckling. Whether it's early morning chilled wig outs, or eclectic party starting beat fests there's a reason they call him 'No Shit Sherlock'

New Promo Shots!




A couple of weeks back the highly talented Ms. Nicki Musgrave took ugly here out and about the streets of this fair city to take some shots of me.

Talk about polishing a turd, she did a cracking job, as you can see below!

Three on a Thursday #8


It’s come around already – it’s Thursday, the weekend is almost here, and it’s time for the lastest rundown of ‘stuff that new to me’.

I think the tunes that I selected last week are probably directly responsible for the glorious run of weather we’ve had over the last few days – feels like spring has sprung around here, so there are a couple of upbeat little numbers and a late night end-of-nighter for you this week. Should be an ideal part of the soundtrack for any brave BBQers this weekend. I expect an invite by the way …

(Update – I’ve removed this from Soundcloud, as I’ve only got so much space, but it’s available on Postbocks here)

Three on a Thursday #7


I’ve literally just posted the last one of these, and I’m already starting to draft the next one – my quest for the finest tracks for you lot is never-ending! Talk about commitment to the cause …

If you like this series, and fancy seeing me spin them live, pop into the Pipe & Slippers tonight where I’m playing alongside DJ Moneyshot and Roy Strong at Flipzilla from 9pm, and if you fancy your beats juicier, and your bass bouncier come and see us tear the roof off The Big Chill Bar Study with a Ghetto Funk work out on Saturday from 11-2am.

Three on a Thursday #6


BOING said Zebedee – the big man is back with yet more fresh (to his ears anyway) tunes!

This week I’ve got a proper little Nu Funk burner, a modern Northern Soul-ish number and Hip Hop about the trials and tribulations of a superhero for you to get your lugholes round.

If you like this series and want to hear ’em churned out live, or even buy me a pint by way of thanks for introducing all these wonderous tunes, check the ‘Gigs’ listing at the top of the page. Your next opportunity is tonight at The Pipe & Slippers with Flipzilla, and then again tomorrow with those crazy simians Monkey Chuckle, at The Golden Lion.

Gigs are like Buses …


None for a month, then four at once!

For the next two Thursdays I’m picking up the slack from Mr Moneyshot for Flipzilla at the legendary Pipe and Slippers on the Cheltenham Rd.

This Friday I’ll be supporting one of Bristols finest Funk acts, Monkey Chuckle at the Golden Lion on the Gloucester Rd.

Finally next Saturday, the 19th I’m playing in the Study at the Big Chill Bar on Small St, with Flipzilla’s Roy Strong.

Exact details for all of these have been added to my Gigs page at the top of the blog, and there are a whole stack of Facebook events in there to remind you they’re happening.

If you like what I do and are in the Bristol area at any point pop in and say hello, and just so you know – first person I see wearing a Sherlock Ohms t-shirt, available from those drunken repro … ahem… nice young men at dizzyjam, gets a beer on me.


Ctrl-Alt-TheBeat with Sherlock Ohms ~ 1st March ’11


The latest edition of Ctrl-Alt-TheBeat for your perusal. Usual stuff, a whole bunch of funk, some bassy wobbliness but this time there’s also a bit of random electro swing to tickle your fancy.

Three on a Thursday #4


Another week, another Three on a Thursday for you. Seems like quite a few of  people are liking this series, so as long as you lot keep clicking and listening, I’ll keep rummaging around the internet to find shiny stuff for you.

I thought of attempting to start this week with a witty quote or acerbic comment on the state of the world, but as I’m writing this after midnight on a school night my brain is not in the right place for such shenanigans – on with the music!

Ctrl-Alt-TheBeat with Sherlock Ohms ~ 15th Feb ’11


Here you go guys, last Tuesdays show from Purple Radio

Early on there is a front of reggae-ish stuff, before brightening to some Funky nonsense with a high percentage of Ghetto funk. After the first hour there is a brief shower of Dub, before finishing off with some wonky mellowness.
