T & Sugah

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.

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.

Breaking through on Ram's sister label Frequency in 2003, Nick Douwma has proceeded to blaze a trial through drum & bass and beyond. Every inch a live showman as much as he is a DJ and creative producer, his performances are a technical feat comprising many bespoke instruments that no other artist has.
