RuN RiOT
London-based producer and live performer RuN RiOT is one of the UK’s most exciting and fastest growing dance acts. Winner of Best New Producer at the International Breakbeat Awards, his unique peak-time sound combining all things Dubstep, Big Beat and Breaks has been met with widespread acclaim. With previous releases on Distinctive, Play Me and his own label ‘We Are Live’, RuN RiOT is now signed to the legendary south coast label Skint Records. His debut EP ‘Lose Yourself’ hit the top 10 in both the DMC & Cool Cuts charts and featured heavily in the latest Need For Speed and Ridge Racer games (including the global trailer). The EP gained national radio support from the likes of Skream & Benga, Annie Nightingale and Eddy Temple-Morris, as well as heavyweight club DJs Doctor P, Crookers and Noisia.
As a regular on the UK festival circuit RuN RiOT’s energetic live show has appeared in dance tents across the country. His unique, eye-catching one man band approach – jumping from synth to drum machine to laptop in the blink of an eye connects with fans of various genres of live music. With iDJ and Mixmag labelling his material as “highly original”, “barnstorming” and “superb”, trackitdown say “expect big things from this young producer”.

JFB
Two-time UK DMC champ JFB has been described by no less than Fatboy Slim as "The Thinking Man's Grandmaster Flash". This Brighton-based DJ and producer is a scratch daddy for the bass music generation, an artist who is as likely to beat juggle dubstep rollers as he is to throw down live remixes of classic hip-shaking 12"s (check out his barmy take on DJ Shadow's Organ Donor or infamous four-turntable reworking of Fatboy Slim's Right Here Right Now on YouTube for a taste of what to expect). JFB has released countless records taking in everything from swing and hip-hop to dubstep breakbeat and drum 'n' bass on labels such as Hospital records, Rat Records, Skint Records, Hot Cakes, Jungle Cakes and GhettoFunk. He's also DJed all over the world at festivals such as LoveBox, Glastonbury, Canada's iconic Shambhala, and the Secret Garden Party and is a huge favourite at Bestival's Big Top Stage.

Jurassik
London producer Jurassik is one of the new wave of artists combining jungle, garage and breakbeat flavours into the rich matrix of roughneck riddim that is UK bass music in 2013. Named by Beatport as one of the iconic dance music site's producers to watch in 2011, this badman student of the dancehall has cooked up material on critically-acclaimed labels like iBreaks, Menu Music and his own Supatronix records imprint. He also finds time to run the popular Supatronix nights and Hot Cakes Thames boat parties and has brought his fresh take on the breakbeat bass sound to events like the Stanton Warriors' Stanton Sessions, where Supatronix regularly holds down its own room.
