MPH is becoming a staple in the new wave of UK Garage, strapping together monumental releases for some of the scene's most important imprints as well as forming a strong catalogue of independent singles. From smooth garage creations with DJ EZ's label Nuvolve and Kiwi Rekords, to raucous bassline bangers for the likes of Night Bass, Spinnin Records and Crucast; it’s difficult to find a platform that MPH is yet to encounter. Off the back of his recent festival shows, including Glastonbury, Boomtown and countless others, heading straight into his first headline UK Tour in October (2022), the sky really is the limit for this young producer. With bundles of support from the likes of Skream, Disclosure, Floating Points and Chris Lorenzo, there’s a certain excitement in the scene around the name MPH.

Award-winning producer Xilent has been responsible for some of the most forward-thinking bass-bitten productions in recent times such as Next Hype and the the tempo-flexing Boss Wave. Melting down genre boundaries with each and every release, his main motifs are vibrancy, melody and really cool glasses.
