DJSS is an artist that needs no introduction. Author of classic tracks like The Lighter and Black that still get dropped decades later all over the world, while running Formation, one of the longest running and most renowned Drum & Bass labels releasing non-stop bangers.

NORTH BASE have taken the D&B world by storm in recent years, the brainchild of Metropolis' DJ Prophecy and Silver, it would almost be quicker to name labels they haven't released on and every festival they haven't played. SYRAN's unique mash up of Jungle sounds with harder jump up and dancefloor edges results in unique destructive weapons, most of which were released on legendary label Ram.

SOLA have had releases on dozens of labels including Eatbrain, Jungle Cakes and Viper. Robbie and Birthday Boy James will perform a high energy mini set on both stages. Crucast's CLARKEY, KORMZ, P DUBZ and WAV make up the northern powerhouse WA3. Expect non-stop heavy stinkers from these 4.

Grand Theft Audio artists gracing the decks are REPLETE and ADUKEN making a special journey up from the south coast, CHARLIE B and VEKTRAL. Each an awesome producer in their own right with buckets of new material to share with you. Manchester residents YAZMIN C, PROSEK, SELBS and BREVITY will be showing off the incredible tune selection and mixing skills that have made them must haves for DnB nights in the North West.

Spotlight DnB's SEBRED & LEEMO will be showing off their behind the decks chemistry with a special set outside, as will MANITU & FOZ (over from Switzerland). UKF's SEILENN will be showcasing her awesome talents for her GTA debut. STONY, RUBEZ, SNATCH, JSK, PROSSMAN and MURDRUM, all well established DJs, Producers and Promoters will be performing solid sets choc full of belters throughout the day and night as well.

Hosting will be DILIGENT FINGERS, a Manchester success story as both an MC and producer, GTA resident and badboy tunesmith RIVALTECHNIQUE, MannyFest head honcho and MC to many legends throughout the years DAVIE DEE, and up and coming Liverpool host RUNIC who has been smashing raves all over the North West for years.
