Main Room: Drum & Bass vs Garage



Drum & Bass Headliners:



Mystic State - https://soundcloud.com/mysticstate



Mystic State are a production duo from the South West of England, comprising of Will Marquiss and Mike Holliday. The pair developed a passion for electronic music at the age of 14 whilst at school together and picked up a pair of battered turntables from an old club promoter, mixing anything they could get their hands on. Fast forward 4 years and they made the natural progression into music production, drawing inspiration from the dark sounds of late 90's jungle and the technical precision of modern dance music.



Since then the pair have tirelessly honed their production skills, built up a respectable discography and earned a good reputation in the Drum & Bass scene, releasing on labels such as Demand Records, Authentic Music, Flexout Audio, Halogen Music and Loxy's imprint CX: Digital. As well as this they have picked up DJ support on their tracks from the likes of DJ Hype, Bailey, Doc Scott, Icicle, Loxy, B. Traits & Skeptical, to name a few. They've played some great gigs across the world, headlining in Munich for the Break It Down 4th Anniversary, Performing at Outlook Festival 2015 in Croatia, headlining at Halogen Music in Belgium and performing regularly at various nights across the UK.



As of 2016 Mystic State have just completed their first full-length album, which will be released on 12-inch vinyl on the new label Ethic Audio, have an EP dropping on Context Audio, and are part of a 3-track vinyl release on Addictive Behaviour.

Headliner Set:

w/ Gardna x Fat Stash

- https://soundcloud.com/gardna

- https://soundcloud.com/fat-stash



The Bristol lyricist on a Dubwise tip. Gardna has been embraced throughout the UK Bass scene for his heavyweight live performance where he flows over a concoction of traditional Reggae and Dub vibes propelled by a variety of current break-neck beats.



After several years of having to use fake ID to enter clubs to perform, Gardna has gained his pass into the UK nightlife and is making some big moves, shelling down some of the biggest events in Europe with highlights being Outlook Festival, Boomtown Fair and Tokyo Dub.



His music is a combination of styles that are born from sound system culture. Releases are concentrated on Boom Sound Recordings and he works with a variety of producers, from fellow Bristol resident Dr Meaker to Polish Reggae/Dancehall don Dreadsquad, and he writes sharp, conscious lyrics with an infectious, melodic flow.

Aside from his ambitions as a songwriter and solo performer, Gardna takes centre stage as host for headline DJ sets, being a favourite for Jinx in Dub, Kelvin 373, Aries and ASBO Disco.



As time goes by, more and more opportunities are opening up with many collaborations in the pipeline so the sky is the limit for the Bristol underground's most talented Dubwise MC.
