Whenever bass heads gather to pick over the new blood pushing drum & bass right back on top, Dub Phizix is one of the few names everyone can agree on. Over the last two years the Manchester-based producer has had an insane string of hits, including the filthy, ubiquitous bashment 'n’ bass bomb 'Marka' (alongside Skeptical and MC Strategy) — which burst out of the scene and rampaged into record boxes worldwide.

DJ Harvey is one of the UK originators of the dance music scene. From his beginnings in Cambridge punk band Ersatz, he discovered hip-hop and DJing on a fateful trip to New York City, and later alighted upon an eclectic mishmash DJ style inspired by the B-Boy everything-in-the-pot approach of the NYC scene's first DJs. 
Later becoming a leading light for house music in the UK, his night Moist at London's Gardening Club cemented his reputation as a true original, where his mammoth sets became the stuff of legend, and where he also invited the legendary likes of Larry Levan as guests.
