The jungle pioneer and multi-genre sonic explorer travels up north for a night laced with undeniable floor-fillers. Infamous as the main subject of the ‘intelligent drum and bass’ tag, the London DJ’s nuanced approach added new subtleties to the heavy dance styles through the 90s. His name sits prominently in many a club across the globe, guaranteeing rooms full of revellers an evening of energetic escapism to the tones of drum and bass, hard techno and jazz fusion breaks. Manchester’s own Fox grabs the mic as master of ceremonies, transferring his verbal punctuation for the Swing Ting club and Levelz hip hop collective onto Bukem’s rhythms.
