The man behind some of the most emotive, uplifting drum & bass released this decade, Kove's success story is the stuff of legend. Breaking through on Viper, then Ram's Program imprint, he was quickly snapped up by MTA. With a repertoire that stretches from high profile remixes of Bastille and John Newman to slamming peaktime rollers such as Gobble, each Kove release compounds his deft ability to resonate with all corners of the dance. The successes keep coming, and UKF have supported him every step of the way!

Breaking through on Hospital Records in the early 2000s, Jonathan Stanley has developed a spotless reputation across all sides of the drum & bass spectrum. His label CYN Music has dented the dance with distinctive imagery and delivers with the same stark consistency as his own productions. A bona fide D&B ambassador.

Talk about high expectations. When London drum’n'bass duo, Chase & Status aka Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status) first laid down the tracks that would make up their third studio album, they were faced with a weighty dilemma: how to follow the sizeable footprint left by 2011’s multi platinum selling No More Idols, not to mention their hefty rep as festival headliners? The answer was found with Brand New Machine, an album that brims with surging, dancefloor anthems, dusty trip hop grooves as championed by the likes of Massive Attack and Portishead, and a collection of jungle and garage breakbeats that increase with substance over repeated plays. Meanwhile, brooding ragga harmonies and hip hop samples deliver an updated take on No More Idols’ anthemic, catch-all appeal. The overall vibe? An instantly memorable collection of swaggering cuts tuned to a club setting, hyped summer festivals and arenas alike.
