The vibe at Alix Perez was immense, massive thanks to everyone who battled through the weather and made it down – including Alix Perez, who did a storming set! The Gallery has now had a wealth of ace Friday nights, for our next one we are teaming up with Herbal Mafia to bring you drum and bass supremos SIGMA [Breakbeat Kaos].

Production powerhouse SIGMA have been making waves in the drum and bass scene since 2007 with early releases on Charge and Viper, leading up to the massive anthem All Blue on Zinc’s Bingo imprint (DNBA’s most downloaded track ever). Now with a wealth of releases on some of the top labels in the game (Bingo, Breakbeat Kaos, Hospital, Charge, Viper) and their own label Life Recordings, they’re some of the most sought after DJs in the business.

LOGISTICS
Together VIP stormed the scene in 2004 on the renowned Spacejam EP, and since then 3 albums and several releases on Hospital Records have secured Logistics as one of the most respected producers anywhere. His 2006 album ‘Now More Than Ever’ won BBC 1Xtra’s 2007 Xtra Bass award, and he has been described as “bridging the gap between a lacklustre sub-genre, liquid funk, and more exciting, dancefloor orientated drum & bass”. His latest album ‘Crash Bang Wallop’ demonstrates his seriously inventive fusion of new and old school sounds, and we can’t recommend it enough.

BROOKES BROTHERS
Supporting Logistics we have the hugely popular Brookes Brothers, one of the major breakthrough artists of recent years. Pioneering the more recent soulful sound of drum & bass, the brothers have consistently produced quality tunes. Their first release on Breakbeat Kaos was the outstanding ‘Hard Knocks / Mistakes’, which received enormous radio support and was dropped by the biggest DJs everywhere. A string of further quality releases led to the anthemic ‘Tear You Down’, one of the biggest tunes of last year which reached number 1 in the UK dance charts.

We can’t wait – this will be unlike any rave ever seen in York, and is set to be a quality night with further support from Yorkshire’s rising stars:

GOKU B2B TOKALASH
FLUX B2B ZIPPY
TEACH

As if this wasn’t enough, for all you dubstep heads out there we’ll be pumping out sickness on the Soulspun rig in the second room, headlined by the filthy Brothers Grime, and supported by more of Yorkshires finest:

BROTHERS GRIME

ALBI 1 B
TRICK
LYLO

R.O.A.R. 18+ so bring I.D.

He went from making dark garage tunes with Benga at the age of 15 on Fruity Loops to being discovered by Hatcha in Croydon a few years later to being one of the pioneering forces that has changed the course of the UK underground music scene.

His music has made dubstep accessible to mainstream music media particulary with 2005 hit ‘Midnight Request Line’, his Essential mix for BBC Radio 1 in 2007 and his recent remix of La Roux’s ‘In For The Kill’.

Skream has released records on Tempa, Tectonic and Big Apple Records, he hosts a weekly radio show, Stella Sessions on Rinse FM and is probably the most well known dubstep producer in the world.
