Excision
Rottun Recordings and EX7 boss Native British Columbian Excision started making music in '06 after dropping out of a business degree and found his footing almost instantly in merging elements of Drum and Bass, Metal and Hip Hop to create a filthy, heavy hitting, robotic signature sound. For lack of a better explanation of his work he once stated "I might imagine a crazy heavy guitar riff, but instead of using that directly I'll play the same riff with a gnarly wobbling bassline" the method in this madness has made him one the world's biggest Dubstep acts and one of North America's biggest selling musical acts.
Excision got himself noticed in 2009 when he dropped Swagga, co-produced by Datsik. His notoriety continued to soar after playing one of Dubstep's most lauded over DJ sets at Shambala '09 he followed up the frenetic but intricate performance by going on a remix spree adding his touch alongside cohort Datsik to tracks by Wu Tang, Freestylers & Ctrl Z and Apex.
All this has him now in very high demand and we are very proud to be hosting what is set to be one of the biggest shows of his first ever UK tour and one of very few appearances he has made in on our shores.

Akil The MC
Dante Givens A.K.A. Akil The MC, one member of Jurassic 5. He played a big role in the groups success with in penning hooks and verses and production credits on some of J5's best known songs Concrete Schoolyard on the acclaimed Jurassic 5 EP & LP, Quality Control, and Thin Line. After the groups split after the feedback LP. Since the groups disbanding Akil has dropped his debut solo LP Soundcheck and recently made appeared on old friend Chali 2na's second Fish Market mixtape reminding us of the vibe they bought to collabos in the past like on DJ Format tracks The Place & We Know Something You don't know as well as lesser known but equally dope releases by Mabanua & Sareem Poems.
-----------------------------------------------------
Reso
London Dubstep producer Reso is said to have wanted to be a drummer in a jazz band but people the world over will be glad he changed his mind and turned his hand to making chameleonic grotty, dark tech productions that earned him co-signs from the likes of Benga, Freq Nasty Mary Anne Hobbs and can put engineering for Burial down on his musical CV.
This year the acclaim and big name remixes keep on coming with major support for Technetium and the massive Kalemba remix for Buraka Som Sistema it looks as if Reso will be taking Dubstep into new territory for some time to come.

Louis Logic
Known in the UK from his former association with New York's Demigodz crew originally known as The Drunken Dragon he pronounced his arrival during hip hop's "backpack era" in 2002 on The Godz Must Be Crazy EP. The Demigodz connection was relatively short lived as Louis Logic's first solo Sin-A-Matic saw him moving away from the punch-line battle style of rhyme that was all too common in the early noughties by 2004 he and the Demigodz had parted ways and after releasing The Odd Couple with Jay Love went on to sign for Fat Beats steering clear of collaborations outside of his original working partnership with J.J Brown dropping Misery Loves Comedy in '06 where he manages to convey his thought process and unique sense of humour to great effect on Morning After Pill All, Girls Cheat, Classy McNasty. Will be on tour in the UK this summer promoting his most recent release Me & Everyone You Know

The Disablists
Consecutive triple UK DMC team champions third in the world in '05 and runners up on '06 Asian Hawk, Clever Monkey & Mighty Atom are were " drawn together through a mutual love for weed, porn & bollywood records" and they have been working the DJ circuit together since 2002 "with a musicality over technicality" approach that makes them more a band than three blokes scratching.
