Room 1 : Dubstep Feat the 15k M.A.D Sound System
► DJ MADD
(Blackbox/Osiris)

Unless you were particularly 'in the know', you could be forgiven for thinking DJ Madd had exploded onto the underground music scene from nowhere. Those with a keen ear, however, would know that the last 3 years has seen a talented producer with a committed work ethic receive the
attention he richly deserves.
In 2009 he caught the ear of those behind the fledgling Black Box imprint, and together artist & label have gone on to become recognized today as leaders in the dubstep scene. From the Black Box debut release (Someone b/w Breakage Remix), through to his masterful Blank Space EP & Transmissions Mix CD, and onwards to his debut album, Madd has been a defining influence on the sound and direction of the label.
►THELEM
(New Moon/Loft Party Records)
http://soundcloud.com/thelem
2011 has been a Breakthrough year for Thelem a.k.a Matt Weare, who has been rapidly building momentum with his punishing sub-heavy production & precision DJ sets.
Inspired by the textures and soundscapes of artists such as Paradox, and drawing from other early influences including Hip-Hop, Grime and Drum & Bass, Thelem has carved out his own distinct style of production, which focuses on delivering expertly crafted bass frequencies, rhythmical variation and dark, minimal atmospherics. He is supported by some of the most influential selectors on the scene, with originators Youngsta, Distance and Chef unleashing Thelem’s constructions on their legendary Rinse FM shows and on dance-floors across world.
* Plus support from:
• PROGRESSION B2B ETHOS
• DJ ROCKSTEDDY
• ILLUSIVE B2B STEP-A-SIDE
Hosted by MC's : VISIONOBI & INFLUX
