We're ecstatic to announce the debut Leeds set of one of the most talked about artists in Drum & Bass, Echo Brown!

The North Carolina, USA native made a huge impact in 2020 with his first release on Lenzman's 'The North Quarter' imprint, which gave birth to the incredible 'Struggles EP' from which tracks still get regular play to this day. With regular features on the label's radio & podcast shows, as well as a slew of insanely well produced EPs under the 'TNQ' banner.

We're absolutely blessed to have him over to Leeds for this one - there's only a handful of UK shows in the pipeline so do not miss this opportunity to check out Echo Brown's set within an intimate setting & over a stacked out sound system!

Having lifted the roof off last time he played for us, Cryteria is welcomed with open arms to our resident crew - having released music on Andy C's Program label, as well as the forward thinking 4 Corners Music, he brings tough, no compromise beats to the dancefloor every time.

After hearing the Shimah's new release on Heist's Co-Lab recordings, we were straight onto getting this Hull based artist down to play. Having been the resident at his city's long running DNB fixture - Shinobi - Shimah is adept across a multitude of subgenres - the music he writes is a perfect reflection of the wealth of experience he's picked up over the years - so naturally we're delighted to see him down!

Locals Karishma & Third One have created a formidable force together on the decks, both have ears to the ground for fresh music as well as appreciation for the classics that form the foundation of Jungle & DNB.

With a new release scheduled on the brand new Leeds based record label 'Intuition Music' we're hyped to have Kampion play with us. Hoppa, having recently released a track with DLR on his Sofa Sound Bristol imprint, is like the icing on the cake for this event - another DJ who'll be bringing fire old & new straight to the dancefloor.

MC Pean of Vital Techniques & new DNB group 'Deep Crisis' joins our hosts Salem Focus & MC LD on the mic to keep the pressure high. Resident duo Loker & LD50 provide support to keep you hooked to the floor with punchy, minimal & brooding cuts of darker DNB funk pressure.

For our March event we've got a jam packed lineup featuring exclusive sets and debuts that you won't want to miss. We're hyped to present a debut set from DJ/Producer 'Cryteria', renowned for delivering killer DNB heat that always ignite the dance floor. With a repertoire of releases on respected labels such as Andy C's 'RAM Records' and Melinki's 'Four Corners Music', Cryteria, hailing from London, seamlessly fuses the best elements of Drum & Bass with his unique, tech-driven energy.

On the mic, we're joined by the talented wordsmith and Manchester native, Vispera. With a background in spoken word, slam poetry, and creative writing, Vispera has recently made waves in the Drum and Bass scene with her visceral, poetic MCing style.

Adding to the heat are Symbiosis Glasgow residents Alcane & Calaco Jack. As part of their city's longest-running DNB event, they bring with them a vast record collection filled with gems, classics, and unheard sounds of the underground.

Support comes from residents Loker & LD50, a liquid warm-up set from Olympus Events' RCH, along with newcomer O/NIL. Hosting duties provided throughout the night by Salem Focus & MC LD. Expect an inclusive atmosphere and weighty tunes over a thumping sound system until the early hours.
