Friday: Sub-Culture x JUE: The Bug and MC Manga @ Dada
.jpg)
The Bug is the main mutation of producer Kevin Martin, also known as King Midas Sound, Techno Animal/Ice/God (with Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu), Razor X Productions (with The Rootsman & various M.C’s), Pressure, Ladybug, the man behind Pathological Records, and a slew more. He’s provided bass-booming remixes for Grace Jones, Thom Yorke, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Primal Scream, Two Fingers, Beastie Boys, and has fans as diverse as Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Trent Reznor, Fuck Buttons and Death Grips. With a discography spanning labels across the spectrum such as Ninja Tune, Virgin, Rephlex, Position Chrome/Mille Plateaux, Word Sound, Hyperdub, City Slang, Tigerbeat 6 and Grand Royal, this is definitely a show worth flapping on about to your friends.
Support comes from Manga (Saint Hilare) who joined the UK’s legendary grime crew Roll Deep in 2004, and has been repping the sound of the underground since, appearing on silver selling debut album In At The Deep End & single ‘Wen I’m Ere” (2007). More recently he’s released his first official mixtape Obzokey Wranglings and just this year dished out new single “Zonin” ft. Jay Grrey & Nana Rogues.

Friday: Example x DJ Wire @ Circle

Example aka Elliot Gleave first rose to success with his 2nd studio album 'Won't Go Quietly' which gained a number 1 spot on the UK dance chart. However it was his 3rd album, 'Playing in the Shadows' that gained him wide-spread fame and produced two #1 singles: "Changed the Way You Kiss Me" and "Stay Awake". When he's not in the studio you'll find him headlining major festivals such as Glastonbury and Ultra Music Festival.
DJ Wire aka Sam Wire is credited with playing an instrumental part in the formation of the UK grime scene with the release of his seminal track “Believe Me” in 2003. Since then he moved onto the Drum 'n' Bass genre releasing tracks supported by the likes of Pendulum and DJ hype, before moving on to produce several number one singles for artists on the Chase & Status record label.
