Anyone familiar with LSB & DRS and their joint work knows what's going on: DJ and MC form a perfect union here. LSB's atmospheric, powerful liquid sound is full of soul and harmonizes perfectly with DRS's vocal abilities. While LSB creates the sonic framework with powerful, atmospheric productions, DRS adds lyrical intensity and emotional honesty. The result is not a classic "beats & bars" project, but a reflective musical dialog, raw and profound.
LSB's first forays into drum'n'bass came in the early 2000s as co-promoter of the legendary Bounce nights in Norwich. He gained experience on the decks as a resident DJ and soon made an appearance with his own productions on Bingo Beats. He has since released music on labels such as Spearhead Records, Integral, Soul:r and Hospital Records and collaborated with artists such as DRS and Tyler Daley on acclaimed tracks such as "The View". His debut album "Content" was released in 2016 and presented a modern, atmospheric yet powerful sound, enriched with cinematic elements, organic textures and subtle melodies. Danceable, introspective and technically produced at the highest level.
DRS (Dirty Rap Scallion) has been active as a rapper and MC since the 1990s and is one of the few MCs who was already able to keep up with the rapid rhythms of drum'n'bass while others were still lagging behind. He was part of the hip-hop trio Broke 'n' £nglish, worked with artists such as Calibre, Marcus Intalex, Lynx, LTJ Bukem and Icicle and released numerous albums. He has a unique ability to combine emotional wordplay with complex rhythms. His discography includes solo works such as "I Don't Usually Like MCs But..." and "Mid Mic Crisis" as well as collaborative projects such as "The Blue Hour" with LSB.
If you want to know how soulful drum'n'bass can actually be, you can't get past St. Files. That's why he'll also be there that night. He founded the Soul:r label together with Marcus Intalex. It is worth remembering their joint work "How You Make Me Feel" from 1999: a funky liquid sound with ice-cold vocals, glittering piano chords and groovy jazz moments - and just one of countless tracks by the two.
The special guest is Etherwood , who has made a name for himself as a versatile producer, DJ, singer and songwriter. In 2013, he broke through with his eponymous album "Etherwood" and took the drum'n'bass world by storm. His creative spectrum includes remixes for artists such as Rag 'n' Bone Man, Pink, Lana Del Rey, Gorgon City, Tom Walker, Alex Clare, Enter Shikari, Above & Beyond and many more. Etherwood has many facets and always stays true to his sound: liquid drum'n'bass with deep melodies and, yes, a touch of nature.
N'Dee, LadyBird and MC Jamie White will ensure that the whole affair gets off to a good start.
