Expect wobbling basslines, slinky steppaz and above all good energy with a fun crowd.
We are lucky enough to have grown a decent following over the past three years and have hosted some the capital's best and most promising underground DJs with a strong bias to breaks and bass, as well as selectors from the US and Spain.
This event is no different, this time we welcome the best and the brightest from NYC, London and Bristol.
AC Industries; this North London DJ and producer will deliver bassy, techy, steppy house, garage, and breaks and electro, flitting between the genres, keeping it dynamic. Expect the freshest releases interspersed with underground classics. DJ style? Bouncy, light-hearted energy. Don’t discount on the spot live interviews on the mic from those at the front of the dancefloor. If we need a 90s hip hop ‘palate cleanser’ we will have it. Beats will be sharp & on point.
LOWCO has been a fixture in the dance music scene since the early 2000s. This Texas-born, East Coast-transplanted producer and selector, spent over two decades quietly honing his craft — playing numerous shows across NYC, the East Coast, and the South, and earning FM radio play before finally stepping into the spotlight. Blending electro bass with traditional UK breakbeat-influenced sounds, LOWCO has become a rising star of the US Bass & Breaks landscape. His production breakthrough came with a release on the prestigious Stanton Warriors' Punks label, igniting a string of #1 Beatport breakbeat chart-toppers. Subsequent releases with Against the Grain and Spanish powerhouse (83) cemented his reputation as the East Coast's premier breakbeat innovator.
Lapworth. Industrious resident. Unnerving ability to switch effortlessly between styles; you never know what he has in store for you. His previous sets have included techy house, garage, bass and drum and bass. Whatever the decides to play, you know this will be quality, mixed seamlessly.
Miss Mants, hails from Tallinn, Estonia. Stepping into music at an early age, she classical piano for over a decade at Tallinn Music School. Mants was nominated for Best Producer at the International Breaks Awards (IBA) in Spain (2017) and as a Breakthrough Producer in the UK (2015).The influence of early-2000s drum and bass deeply shaped her sound and sparked a lasting love affair with breaks. Blending the grit of hip-hop & energy of drum and bass with the chunky, infectious groove of breaks. She delivers some of the freshest, fattest breaks today.
Her Industrious debut earlier this year was nothing short of a triumph.

Steedy. A long-standing love of drum and bass and bassline first pulled him into electronic music, before a few formative years in Nottingham opened the door to the city’s garage and breaks scenes. Behind the decks, he has played across the spectrum — from DnB and jungle through to house and garage — bringing that same versatility into his own productions. For this one, Steedy will be setting the pace early with a warm-up built around new-wave garage, high-energy house and plenty of bounce.
