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

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!

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.
