From a rural German town to playing stages around the world, Michael Schlechtinger – also known as Blooom, has had a meteoric rise. His journey began at an incredibly formative age: from fifteen, he immersed himself in electronic music, despite not even being allowed to enter club spaces yet. And whilst many of his counterparts have stories of finding a love for dance music through family ties, it was his own interests that drove him headfirst into the intricacies of music production.

D&B dynamite: Sigma have risen through the most respected ranks of the game to become one of the most versatile acts in drum & bass. Breaking through on Hospital and Viper, Joe and Cam have gone on to establish their own imprint Life Recordings and create universal bangers that refuse to sit in any D&B sub genre and enjoy support from the very biggest DJs in the scene.

Operating heavyweight bass since 2008, Flux Pavilion has been one of UKF’s most popular artists since UKF launched in 2009… And he remains so to this day. Beyond his raw dancefloor destruction with his muscular production motifs, the Circus Records co-founder’s work has been sampled by Kanye and Jay-Z, featured on major Hollywood blockbuster The Great Gatsby and popular games Need For Speed: Most Wanted and SSX. With remix credits attached to artists as disparate as Jamiroquai and Skrillex, Flux continues to develop the versatility and creativity he exploded on to the scene with six years ago.
