Description

That's right everyone PHILTHY CITY IS BACK!!
After a 3+ year break from hosting, we've decided to return to the stage bringing back the legendary.....

BLACK SUN EMPIRE
Blackout Recordings

Black Sun Empire began making music together in 1993, but it wasn’t until drum & bass reached its peak in the mid ‘90s that the trio truly found their footing. In that formative period, Black Sun Empire drew heavy inspiration from the darker side of the genre, a movement pioneered by London based imprints like No U Turn, Grooverider’s Prototype Recordings and Ed Rush & Optical’s Virus label. By the time the Internet revolution opened a path for non UK drum & bass acts to be fully embraced by the scene, Black Sun Empire had perfected their craft and began to deliver a distinct and different sound that they could truly call their own. Today they run a well established label, Blackout Recordings, and hold an international reputation as one of the biggest names in tech/neuro drum and bass.

To support this amazing act we have a well curated lineup of solid local talent you don't want to miss:

CALIBRATE

Calibrate lives in the dark and melodic, the experimental and future sounds of Drum and Bass, Dubstep and Breaks. The focus is on groove based music made for dancefloors and the underground, blending his own productions into a seamless journey that takes you through genres, moods and BPMs.
