DEYA & Byrd Out present: Manga Saint Hilare and Plastician
We're double-dropping with two of the UK's most electrifying artists as headline acts: Manga Saint Hilare and Plastician.
When was the last time you caught a member of Roll Deep in Cheltenham? Yep, thought not... Manga Saint Hilare was a member of of pioneering group, earned two MOBO nominations, and two UK #1s with Roll Deep, and has gone on to develop as an independent artist, as well as holding down a weekly slot on BBC Radio 1Xtra. And he's been nominated for DJ Mag's MC/Vocalist of the Year this year :)... Mixmag "Manga Saint Hilare is grime's realest storyteller" [Mixmag]... It's a thrill to get him on the mic and behind the decks.
Plastician is a DJ & Producer who guarantees cutting edge selections and a keen ear for new trends and genres. Most commonly known for his involvement at the humble beginnings of London’s Grime & Dubstep movements, Plastician was recognised as the first artist to truly cross the boundaries between the two genres, which he showcased on Rinse FM, and then on BBC Radio 1 in the mid 00’s with his popular radio broadcasts, which continue to this day. As a producer, he has countless credits to his name both as a composer of his own original records, and on production credits and collaborations for artists all over the world, including the likes of Skepta, M.I.A., Snoop Dogg and many more.
