Feel-Good Floors Incoming: Damion Maston at Lil Giant Fest

Welcoming Damion Maston to Lil Giant Fest
Lil Giant Fest is proud to welcome Damion Maston to this year’s line-up. With a career rooted in the UK rave scene and a sound that blends house, disco and funk, Damion brings the perfect feel-good energy to our festival dancefloor.
From Warehouse Parties to Festival Dancefloors
Damion Maston’s love affair with the turntables kicked off in the early 90s. Born from the notorious UK rave scene, he grew up chasing basslines through abandoned warehouses and underground parties—moments that shaped his sound and forged his DJ identity. Those raw, old-skool house roots still pulse through his sets today, adding a timeless flavour to his modern feel-good style.
Fast-forward and Damion has carved out a colourful, high-impact career across the UK club landscape. He’s held residencies at some of the most vibrant venues around, including Aruba Bournemouth, W-Beach, Kika Beach, Batida, Strictly Disco, Cheeky Tipple, Revolution, and his previous long-running Saturday slot in Denbossa.
Now gearing up to launch Soul Train, Damion is bringing a fresh wave of Soul, Funk and Disco nights to the South West—an experience steeped in nostalgia, energy and rhythm. He is also proudly signed to Middleman Entertainment LTD.
On Air, On Stage
On the airwaves, Damion has delivered extensive radio campaigns with major shows on Air 107.2, D&S Radio, and Influx Radio, hosting an impressive roster of guests including Sweet LA, Soulavengerz, Mike Chenery, Dr Feelgood, HP Vince, Ken@Work, Lenny Fontana, Jet Boot Jack, Stuart Ojelay, and Ladies on Mars.
His guest mixes have landed on some of the biggest global stations, including Hot Radio, Radio 1 Ibiza, Radio 1 Italy, Café Mambo Radio, Voice FM, Deep Dance Radio Amsterdam, Energy FM, Hot Hits UK, 54 House FM Germany, One Nation FM Argentina, House Party Radio, and many more.
Festival stages? Damion owns them. His ever-growing festival CV includes Quinfest, Quayfest, Front Live, Duckfest, and he’s a regular crowd-shaker at Bournemouth 7’s, sharing line-ups with Low Steppa, James Haskell, Cardy B, and Switch Disco.
A Perfect Fit for the Lil Giant Vibe
Pure, unfiltered, feel‑good energy.
He delivers an infectious fusion of uplifting house, nostalgic old skool cuts, stomping disco grooves and that unmistakable funk flava—
the grooves that make you move.
Every set is a journey. Every moment is a vibe. Every dancefloor becomes a memory.
As the festival rolls into the evening, Damion’s feel-good selections will set the tone for exactly what Lil Giant Fest is about — relaxed, joyful and full of movement, with friends, families and festival lovers all sharing the same dancefloor under the stars.
