For the second drum ‘n bass oriented night in Ampere, we team up with Exit Records, known for focussing on the deeper end of the spectrum. Two icons of the scene, dBridge and Calibre, will be joined by some of the most respected heads from Belgium.
CALIBRE (Exit Records, Signature) UK
Dominick Martin aka Calibre is responsible for some of the most beautiful and sublime tracks in Drum & Bass. Releasing on the most distinguished labels, including his own Signature Recordings, Calibre’s distinctive sound has progressed taking on elements of jazz, funk, dub and techno whilst losing none of its soul. His profound influence on Drum & Bass continues to evolve as he constantly explores new techniques and styles in his music. Always in demand the world over, but elusive and selective in his bookings, Calibre can simultaneously captivate a crowd and move a dancefloor. Famed for his deep and musical sets that feature a heavy percentage of his original productions, much of it never to be heard again. It’s no surprise that artists and DJs across the electronic music spectrum praise Calibre for restoring their faith in Drum & Bass as a vital musical force.
DBRIDGE (Exit Records) UK
A veteran producer and one of the most experienced artists in Drum & Bass, Darren White known as dBridge, is an artist whose multiple transformations and evolutions glide through a staggering list of achievements. Over the course of a long and distinguished career, he has been at the heart of some the most exciting collaborative partnerships Drum & Bass has ever seen, from Future Forces to Bad Company and Club Autonomic. dBridge has also devoted a large amount of focus to his label Exit Records, releasing compilations, ground-breaking singles, and artist LPs as he continues to mentor a new breed of producers inspired by his career. As a solo artist, dBridge remains versatile with his own productions for labels including Exit, Metalheadz and Hotflush, and continues to drop draws with equally diverse and genre defying DJ sets.
SP:MC (Exit Records) UK
Breaking through into the world of Drum & Bass as an MC is no small task, yet SP:MC has managed to establish himself as one of the busiest & most innovative on the circuit. Often requested by DJs including Friction, dBridge, S.P.Y, Youngsta, Jubei and Goldie, his distinctive yet versatile style has also made him a favourite with DJs and clubbers alike. This mutli-talented individual has also proved to be a distinguished producer in his own right with releases on Tempa, Shogun and Exit (as Code 3, with Jubei & Dakuan). Winner of the ‘Best MC’ category at the DnB Arena Awards, SP:MC is without doubt at the top of his chosen profession.
