One of the most daring, creative contributors to drum & bass's neuro movement, Sarajevo-based sound designer Billain is a genuinely unique individual who has applied his abilities to a wealth of sonic arts... From massive club destroyers to big screen movies and commercial advertising campaigns. With a clear skill at illustrating and story writing, he's a bona fide auteur.

Masters of the 130 bass sound, Bristol-based duo Tommy and Jammo peddle an instantly distinctive dark groove that resonates with all corners. Launching on Mindstep Records in 2011, they've gone on to demonstrate their skills on labels such as Ram, 877 and, most recently, Black Butter who've signed them exclusively.

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.
