There is a bright dark future ahead

Misanthrop & Phace (HOL, GER)
Een hybride spel van obscure en duistere beats dat je in vervoering brengt. Misanthrop is niet vies van progressive drum and bass waarbij hij voortdurend zijn grenzen aftast. Een slap in the face die schreeuwt naar meer. Afschuwelijk goed!
Net als Misanthrop is beathunter Phace ook een vaste waarde in de darkstepwereld: Een mindblowing mix van ritmisch experiment, diepe bass sounds en krachtige remixen gekruid met vloeiende synths.
Say what?!

DJ Hidden (HOL) Hidden is ondertussen 10 jaar bezig, de jongste vier jaar releaset hij ook op verschillende labels en maakt hij (nog meer) naam in de darkstepwereld. Come out come out, wherever you are!

Misanthrop got caught up by the dark sounds and menacing beats of drum and bass in the nineties, as it developed more into an intense musical hybrid. This is when he decided to produce his own tracks, which enables him to use music as a medium to express personal experiences of human interactions. His aim is to break through the borders of conventions to set new unusual grounds and push the genre forward. something he succeeds in with grace.

This man needs no introduction. This well known artist will deliver some of the hardest tracks in drum and bass and darkstep. Also member of the Outside Agency, there is no doubt this man will give you an hour of controlled chaos.

Together with long time friend Misanthrop he created the record label, Neosignal, in 2008. This establishment was followed by the release of a worldly acclaimed album, From Deep Space, in 2010, accompanied with several singles. Phace's music trends within the neurofunk sub-genre of drum and bass, and is well known for his atmospheric and powerful tracks. His style is focused on rhythmical experimentation, accompanied with deep bass sounds, high contrasting ambience, and smooth flowing pad synthesisers. 2 hour B2B set with Misanthrop!

A member of the CRESST-crew and owner of a huge vinyl collection, mesca will spend weeks going trough, and picking out the darkest tracks of his collection and mixing them into one intense set.

Een van de paradepaardjes van Loefah's gerenommeerde Swamp 81 Records, waaronder ook The Bug, Boddika, Pinch, Ramadanman en vele andere giganten zich bevinden. Nadat ze hun stempel op de drum & bass scene hadden geplaatst, besloten ze onder invloed van onder meer Mala, Loefah en Burial zich toe te leggen op dubstep. De rest is geschiedenis...
