Koven is ready to begin another exciting instalment with the arrival of Katie Boyle - one of dance music’s most talented, original vocalists. Featuring on labels such as Mainframe Recordings and Audioporn as well as teaming up with accomplished producers including including techstep mammoths Fourward, High Maintenance and liquid heavyweights Hybrid Minds, Katie has rightly gained a reputation for both her extreme versatility and vocal ability. Bigger and better sounding than ever, Koven are set for even greater heights, and are already among Skrillex and Rudimental as acts booked to perform at EXIT festival's Main Stage this summer.

What began as a fun side-project during Pendulum’s Immersion tour, Knife Party has now become one of the most influential electronic acts to have emerged in the last three years. Releasing an EP every year since they emerged as a mysterious, identity-free, act in 2011, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen’s uncompromised free-for-all fusion of genres has inspired waves of new producers. Smelting down the very essence of moombahton, electro, house, bass and EDM, each Knife Party track is instantly distinctive yet wholly unpredictable. FYI – they don’t carry blades and have never stabbed anyone… the name actually comes from a Deftones record.
