Magik Bullet have been pumping Devon for the past five years with an eclectic mix of all things breakbeat and house. Their trademark style gets clubbers flocking in by the hundreds from all around the country. Their residents are feared for their unholy intake of Jagermeister and their DJing ability comes a close second.
We are back to celebrate our 5th birthday, but not for long and who knows when we might return. Our crowd has been described as magic, golden, amazing. However, we are not an exclusive clic, we are one family and we would like you to be part of it too. We were never in this for fame and fortune. Come and party with us.
