Chase & Status (Live)
Chase (Will) & Status (Saul) have been hailed as 'the most exciting producers in the UK today'. They met at Manchester University through their mutual love of drum and bass in the mid nineties and have DJ'd ever since. Their frenetic formula of raging riffs and high octane breakdowns earned their acclaimed album 'No More Idols' double platinum status, whilst their baffling, on-the-fly manipulation of dirty, ferocious beats has attracted a devoted global fan base, who live and breathe that tumultuous bass driven sound.

Dizzee Rascal
Underground dance master who stunned the UK garage scene with his debut album 'Boy In Da Corner' and single 'I Luv U' in 2003, both of which warped the sound into something dark, disturbing and deliciously innovative. Considered the most popular and influential Grime artist in the world, and also recognised as an innovator with his production style. 2007's 'Maths + English' is a masterpiece and a credit to the genre.
Dizzee Rascal tour dates
Noisettes
Unconventional London duo Dan Smith and Shingai Shoniwa have had a career stretching over seven years, with their fizzy, witty mixture of all kinds of pop, given their own exotic twist, bringing them well known chart smashes like 'Never Forget You' and 'Don't Upset the Rhythm'. Renowned for their enthralling live performances and style, their energy is reminiscent of the true, legendary artists of the past, leading to them being described "the best live band in Britain" by The Guardian. Shoniwa can often be seen charging in to the audience playing guitar and singing clinging to a ladder suspended from the ceiling, a nod to the circus skills she learnt in her teens.
Noisettes tour dates
Ellie Goulding
As her debut album, Lights, made so thrillingly clear, Ellie Goulding uses her voice as a texture in much the same way that a skilled instrumentalist would. It is a sound – in Ellie's case, an utterly distinctive and unforgettable one – that can play as important a role in her songs as any other musical detail.
Ellie Goulding tour dates
The Maccabees
Brighton's Maccabees have gone from strength to strength since the release of their debut top 30 album 'Colour It In' in 2007. Their brand of slightly off-kilter British art-rock has seen them compered to the likes of Wire, Blur, Magazine, Futureheads and XTC. The frenzied live shows have generated stage invasions and riotous crowds buzzing to the sounds of already classic anthems like 'About Your Dress' and 'Toothpaste Kisses'. 2012 sees the release of 3rd album 'Given To The Wild', with more wild live shows sure to ensue.
The Maccabees tour dates
Chew Lips
Chew Lips consist of vocalist and uber-cool frontwoman Tigs and multi-instrumentalist James Watkins. The band formed in 2009 after the pair had been in indie bands but then had the desire to form something new, something pop and something exciting.
Chew Lips tour dates
Crookers
Phra and Bot, aka Crookers, are a young Italian duo who, for some years now, have been travelling to every continent known to man, setting dance floors and millions of people's eardrums on fire!
Crookers tour dates
Riva Starr
After spending his youth hanging around ghettos and seedy bars, on a diet of soul, funk and analogue synths, he started bleeping and blurting out his crazy sounds.
Riva Starr tour dates
Zinc
DJ Zinc (real name Ben Pettit) is a DJ/producer hailing from East London, his career stretching back to 1993. Zinc went on to produce some of the most well known dance anthems such as 'Super Sharp Shooter' and '138 Trek'. After launching the seminal True Playaz label alongside Hype and Pascal and as part of the Ganja Kru, Zinc continued to release and produce many successful jungle and drum 'n' bass anthems throughout the 90s. In 2001 he launched a new label, Bingo Beats releasing tunes under a new sound he calls 'crack house'.
Zinc tour dates
Dynamite MC
Regular MC with Reprazent and Full Cycle, as well as a recording artist in his own right.

Toddla T
Toddla T is the stage name of Tom Bell - a DJ, record producer, re-mixer and composer from Sheffield. He started DJing at the age of 14 in the clubs and bars of Sheffield and by the age of 16 had left school to pursue a full-time career in the music industry. His stage name was given to him by the older Sheffield DJs who influenced him and was used to indicate his relative youth. Toddla T's first album, for 1965 Records, encompasses hip-hop, electro, garage, dancehall and house and was released in May 2009. The major collaborators were Serocee and Mr Versatile. He has also created a mix album for club label Fabric and has a regualar slot on BBC Radio 1 - In New DJs We Trust. Recently Toodla T signed to the world renowned Ninja Tune record label and is working on his next release.

MJ Cole tour dates
Mystery Jets
'Perfectly formed pop' (Bugbear). A band who manage to do something new with the rock sound. Their music is unusual and boundary pushing, but luckily they have the technical prowess to pull it off, sometimes mastering kitchen utensils as well as more standard instruments.
Mystery Jets tour dates
Tinashe
Zimbabwe born, Hackney-raised Tinashé has the soulful showman moves to match when he performs.
Tinashe tour dates
Sinden
Fabric resident DJ signed to Domino Records. Creator of the massive hit 'Beeper'.
Sinden tour dates
Bombay Bicycle Club
A group of schoolfriends - not even very long ago - formed Bombay Bicycle Club and, under-appreciated in school, took their music out on the London gig circuit, which led to them opening the V Festival in August 2006. They released their debut EP later that year and, still in their teenage years, have received national acclaim for their efforts.
Bombay Bicycle Club tour dates
Maverick Sabre
With his unique vocals and rap style, the London born, Irish-bred Maverick Sabre is an amazing contradiction between cultures and genres: Ireland and England, hip-hop, reggae, folk and blues.
