One of the most distinctive and influential characters in electronic music, multi-Grammy Award winning Sonny Moore remains the most discussed and in-demand artists in electronic music since emerging as Skrillex in 2010. From his hardcore roots to his weighty drop science, Sonny has gone on to develop bass music in countless creative directions as an artist and as the OWSLA label founder. Regarded as one of the most exciting, daring labels in electronic music, under Sonny’s captaincy OWSLA have been responsible for breaking the careers of M-Machine, Zedd and Porter Robinson. Whether he’s smashing it with Boys Noize as Dogblood or dazzling crowds of over 100,000 with his technically complex live performances, Skrillex continues to operate at the very forefront of the game.

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.

Known to his peers as the ‘Dj’s Dj’, SKisM’s technical prowess and energy on four decks has cemented his name as one of the busiest and most electrifying DJ’s on the circuit, and has seen him continually tour the globe over the past 5 years. His mixes gain almost as much, if not more attention than his tracks, and his inimitable ‘Double Drop’ style whips dance floors into a frenzy wherever he plays. As a scene leader, SKisM is constantly pushing things forward through his award winning record label Never Say Die Records. Both the founding father and sole A&R, he has brought some of the most exciting artists in bass music to the masses such as Zomboy, Eptic, MUST DIE! and rising star LAXX (with whom he collaborated with on his most recent Beatport chart topping single ‘Hostile’).
