The Upbeats

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.

Award-winning producer Xilent has been responsible for some of the most forward-thinking bass-bitten productions in recent times such as Next Hype and the the tempo-flexing Boss Wave. Melting down genre boundaries with each and every release, his main motifs are vibrancy, melody and really cool glasses.

Netsky: a Belgian melodic magician who rose to fame in the late 2000s with tracks such as Memory Lane and Lost In This World. Several albums and one incredible live band deep into his career, Netsky's ability to pen timeless songs with physical grooves remains one of the highest benchmarks in drum & bass.
