UKF and RIOT Noise are teaming up with the Young Urban Arts Foundation (YUAF) for ‘The DROP Drum & Bass Takeover’ – a two-day event that’s set to shake up London’s youth Drum & Bass scene. Running from 2pm to 8pm on 29th and 30th October at Greenwich Peninsula, this takeover is all about empowering young Londoners with workshops led by top-notch industry pros, spotlighting just how transformative music and creativity can be.

 “Drum & Bass was my lifeline growing up, so for my charity to partner with UKF, RIOT Noise and the UK’s leading DJs and producers on this event, to raise awareness, give back and empower more young people together is a very powerful thing. We all understand the power of music and creativity and the ability to create safe havens, increase well-being and change lives. I’m so excited to see what amazing things we can achieve together, and a huge thank you to every single person who will contribute and has brought this magical event together.”Indigo Reign (Kerry O’Brien), Founder of YUAF

As the long-standing home of bass music, UKF has been bringing beats and bass to global audiences for 15 years. They’re throwing a huge celebration at Drumsheds in December and have handpicked some of the finest artists from that lineup to share their knowledge and give back to the next generation.

“We’re thrilled to be working with YUAF on their mission to empower the lives of young people by collaborating on a special two days of programming on their bus, to help discover and bring through the next generation of bass music fans.” Luke Hood, founder of UKF

Over the two days, there’ll be hands-on workshops covering everything from music production to DJing, radio presenting, and topline writing – all taking place on YUAF’s ultra-cool double-decker media outreach bus. It’s open to young creatives aged 16-25, with BBC Radio 1‘s Charlie Tee, Flava D, Anaïs, Jackum, Shosh, and Subten leading sessions. Our good friend Carly Wilford and two of our homegrown DJs from Milton Keynes DAIN and Hardisty will also be there.

 “At RIOT Noise, we believe in the power of music transforming lives. We are humbled to be partnering with the Young Urban Arts Foundation and UKF as part of our commitment to empower the next generation of artists. Together, we’re equipping young people with the skills to produce music and DJ, fostering creativity and self-expression in urban communities.”Nicky Maciocia, founder of RIOT Noise

YUAF, founded in 2009 by pioneering Drum & Bass MC Indigo Reign, has reached over 22,000 young people across London. The charity works in areas where access to creative opportunities is limited, helping those most at risk of exploitation or crime find their way through music and the arts. With youth funding in short supply, YUAF’s work brings a much-needed spark of hope and possibility to these communities.

Day in and day out, their team of producers, songwriters, lyricists, and visual artists are out there on the streets, in schools, and on estates. They offer beat-making workshops and help connect young creatives with valuable training and work experience, opening doors in an industry that can be hard to crack into.

 “We are delighted to support YUAF’s mission to enrich young lives through music, arts, and creativity. Our past collaborations with YUAF have been incredibly rewarding, and we’re excited to offer new opportunities to young people on Greenwich Peninsula and across London.”Laura Flanagan, Marketing Director at Greenwich Peninsula

Entry is free for this event but you still need to grab a ticket which you can do here!

XOYO London Residency Series Continues With UK Trio TQD This September https://datatransmission.co/news/xoyo-london-residency-series-continues-with-uk-trio-tqd-this-september/ Tue, 29 Aug 2023 12:54:30 +0000 https://datatransmission.co/?p=69172 Royal-T, DJ Q and Flava D take over XOYO on four Fridays in September following memorable sets via Boiler Room, Warehouse Project & more.

The post XOYO London Residency Series Continues With UK Trio TQD This September appeared first on Data Transmission.

]]>
UK Bass and Garage just keeps getting bigger and TQD – comprised of Royal-T, DJ Q and Flava D – remains firmly at the forefront of this sound. No surprise then that TQD is the latest act invited to host and curate a four-week residency at one of London’s best-known and respected late-night venues, XOYO.

Delivering plenty of bounce by the ounce for four Fridays throughout September (1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd), TQD is joined by an arsenal of renowned DJs and MCs, including Oppidan, Jamie Duggan, Bklava, Creed, Dread MC, Ghoulish and many more.

TQD is next in a long line of celebrated acts to captivate with residencies at XOYO London, including DJ Randall, Andy C, Interplanetary Criminal, Break, Mike Skinner, Aliz Perez, Goldie, and many more.

TQD XOYO Residency Flyer

Some call them a ‘supergroup’ but the concept of TQD is simpler and much less contrived than that tag implies. Simply put, TQD is a trio of music-making friends united under a single name to make jacking dancefloor music inspired by classic UK garage and bassline sounds.

Since their first collaborative foray with ‘Day & Night’, released on Butterz in 2015, TQD has undoubtedly proven that their three-way formula works. Appearing in clubs and at festivals the world over, they’ve been consistently shaking up scenarios with their high-octane blends of (predominantly) their own music across 4-deck sets.

“Our residency is a four week celebration of friendship, our new album ‘there 4 u’, and nearly a decade of working together through different collaborations and remixes that eventually led to us forming TQD in 2015. Our guests are recent collaborators, talent we respect from the bass and garage scene and artists who know how to throw down a good party set for Friday nights in London. We look forward to being in the dance with you in September!”

TQD (Royal-T, DJ Q, Flava D)

Answering the call for more diversified club programming in London, XOYO and TQD aim to hit the mark throughout September with an entourage of names set to elevate the presence of UKG and bassline in the capital.

This residency continues XOYO’s drive to build a community that can safely come together to embrace all corners of London’s club culture, united by the music to deliver a deeply authentic and unrivalled dancefloor experience, week in week out.

Since its establishment in 2005, Ibiza Rocks has been a rebellious force on the white isle, carving out its unique niche by introducing unexpected, pioneering, and unconventional artists, crews, DJs, and genres to the hedonistic hub of Ibiza. Always ahead of the game, Ibiza Rocks has consistently made room for new sounds and diverse crowds, leading the way in youth culture and creating a vibrant, inclusive, and unified party destination that embraces everyone with open arms. This summer, Ibiza Rocks returns with its most impressive lineup to date, ready to ignite the infamous pool parties that define the Ibiza experience.

Entering a bustling season at the home of pool parties in 2023, Ibiza Rocks boasts a lineup of the hottest names in rap, grime, house, garage, bass, techno, and everything in between, who will grace the legendary poolside gatherings. With a mix of regular residents and special guests, this summer’s Ibiza Rocks experience promises the freshest and most exceptional talent, all taking place in an exciting new venue.

Introducing the brand-new residency “Fire In The Pool,” Ibiza Rocks provides a permanent home for rap in Ibiza, featuring a stellar lineup of top-quality UK rap artists. This groundbreaking concept unites a team of next-generation icons and OG acts from the genre, showcasing their skills from May to September. Inspired by Charlie Sloth‘s renowned “Fire In The Booth” viral video series, these poolside sessions bring that concept to life. The lineup includes the charismatic and chart-topping Arrdee, whose debut mixtape ‘Pier Pressure’ in 2022 catapulted him as one of the genre’s most promising talents. Joining him is Northwest London’s finest, Digga D, as well as the undisputed king of UK rap, Headie One, whose set at Ibiza Rocks will undoubtedly be one of the season’s highlights. The godfathers of the movement and chart-topping rap dream team, Krept & Konan, will also be part of these electrifying pool parties.

Manchester’s golden boy, Aitch, returns to host a two-day mini-festival and pool party called “Aitch 2-0,” inviting fellow Mancunian legend Bugzy Malone, revered Midlands don MIST, Nemzzz, DJ Win, and many other artists who have played pivotal roles in shaping the UK rap phenomenon. Joining Aitch is the godfather of grime and head honcho, Charlie Sloth, whose influential and long-running series, “Fire In The Booth,” has put numerous young artists in the spotlight.

Taking a rap-focused direction, the fire collective D Block Europe, formed by London-based rappers Dirtbike LB and Young Adz, will host a one-off pool party as part of the Ibiza Rocks festivities. The event will showcase some of the dominant names in UK rap, with Clavish, Shayna Marie, and others joining the tag-team known for their signature road flow.

For fans of garage music, Craig David‘s TS5 sessions are a must-attend party, hosted by the man himself. These pool parties promise high-energy and hands-in-the-air moments throughout the summer. Joining Craig David are artists such as Wes Nelson, Gracey, DJ Target, Belters Only, and more, who will contribute to the infectious vibes. DJ and KISS FM host Joel Corry will also be curating special guests, including Majestic, Sammy Porter, DJ SKT, Jess Bays, and many other talented artists.

Nathan Dawes‘ residency guarantees plenty of bass, garage, house, and energetic vibes that will ignite the dance floor. With artists like Flava D, DJ Q, Sian Anderson, and Sweet Female Attitude on board, expect uplifting anthems and an atmosphere filled with hands-in-the-air moments. Furthermore, the number one artist, singer, and performer, Becky Hill, will hold the fort throughout the summer with her event titled “YOU / ME / US.” She will invite artists such as Jodie Harsh, I.JORDAN, Gok Wan, and 24 Hour Garage Girls, representing talent from the queer electronic world.

Ben Hemsley‘s lineups cater to the diverse tastes of electronic music enthusiasts, ranging from euphoric trance and classic house to heavy techno vibes. With acts like DJ Heartstring, LF System, Kettama, Todd Terry, and more, his selections cover all the bases, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

On a regular rotation, the hip-hop event Applebum will mastermind a series of parties that blend old-school and new-school flavours from the genre. Ibiza Anthems, with DJ duo Switch Disco, will take revellers on a journey through classic hits from the island, delivering euphoric dance anthems from the past, present, and future.

Known as “The Home Of The Pool Party”, Ibiza Rocks offers the ultimate Ibiza experience. Running from now until September, Ibiza Rocks presents an impressive lineup featuring a mix of forward-thinking rap, festival headliners, and classic house sounds. Ibiza Rocks’ doors are open to all, as it was established in 2005 with the aim of providing a platform for new sounds on the white isle. Over the years, it has welcomed some of the biggest stars from indie, rap, hip-hop, grime, pop, and various other genres.

Snowbombing is returning to the Austrian slopes in 2023 with a bang – once again taking over the town of Mayrhofen between 10th-15th April with a sensational lineup ready to soundtrack a festival experience like no other! With some of the hottest names in electronic and underground music right now, Snowbombing 2023 promises to be the ultimate party celebration impossible to miss come April 2023. 

Leading the way for 2023 is one of the most influential producers and figures in modern electronica in Jamie xx. Across a storied career beginning with The xx and featuring critically-revered releases, packed venues and giant festival stages – nobody has soundtracked the past decade in the way Jamie has.

Taking to the festival’s legendary Forest Stage, Snowbombing 2023 and Jamie xx promises to be the combination that’ll have fans talking for years to come as another iconic chapter is added to his already Hall Of Fame career.

Leading this first wave of names is the vibrant, East London DJ, producer and singer Eliza Rose, who recently took over the UK singles chart with her unstoppable #1 tune ‘B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All)’. With that track, Eliza Rose became the first female DJ to top the official chart in 20 years, leading the way for a whole new generation of DJs and producers, and bringing the London underground scene straight to the top. The biggest sound of right now comes to Snowbombing for a huge moment that’s sure to go down as a highlight in Snowbombing history. Also storming his way to the very top is Bru-C, fresh from a summer festival season that saw his name taking over the biggest stages and soundtracking every step in a manner that points to him as the next big breakthrough sensation in UK rap. With an electric live show ready to go, it’s going to be SCENES when he heads to Mayrhofen for Snowbombing 2023. Speaking of Snowbombing, Andy C returns to Mayrhofen with a jaw-dropping history of unforgettable sets that have made him not only an icon – but one of the most sought-after electronic acts on the planet. Expect a trip through D&B history from the arena-filling titan, with Snowbombing a chance to catch him performing in an environment like no other. See you down the front.

As well as a list full of incredible talent that will get the floor shaking and dancing until the very early hours of the morning, this first announcement comes with news revealing Snowbombing’s first takeovers from some of the biggest names in the modern electronic scene. After storming the 2022 Street Party, Glitterbox returns for another glitter-soaked celebration bound to have thousands moving in joy from a broad array of sensational talent, alongside Defected Records themselves bringing the hits in a way only they know how. He.She.They return after a rapturously received debut in 2022, revelling in inclusivity and individuality with a takeover ready to seize the week as their own – and it ensures Snowbombing once again is delivering a 360° trip through the best in modern electronic culture. With thriving duo-of-the-moment Hybrid Minds, grime pioneer D Double E, visionary DJ Patrick Topping and the trailblazing Sherelle amongst others announced today – Snowbombing is already a must for 2023, with the great and the good descending on Mayrhofen for a living, breathing world of release and party moment. As always, expect the unexpected at The World’s Greatest Show On Snow!

New for 2022, the music event series Siren, has announced ‘Hospitality on the Harbour’ for its Saturday line-up. Siren takes place at Bristol’s beautiful harbourside, on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th July.

The main stage will feature Hybrid Minds (+ Tempza); alongside support from Kings of the Rollers and Inja; a twenty-year celebratory set from High Contrast; with Grafix, Flava D, Etherwood and more also taking to the stage.

Curated by celebrated Bristol label Hospitality, these Drum & Bass heavyweights join dance legends Groove Armada, who take to the Siren stage on Friday as part of their last full live UK tour, with support from Radio 6 Music DJ and Fun Lovin Criminals frontman Huey Morgan and stellar female representation from label Saffron Records and Scarlett O’Malley.

Saturday’s headliners, Hybrid Minds, accompanied by regular MC, Tempza, are a phenomenon of soulful Drum & Bass music. With a history of trailblazing releases, including many on their own Hybrid Music label, they’ve established themselves as one of the most important acts on the D&B scene. After receiving plaudits for their debut ‘Mountains’ album, their second, ‘Elements’, reveals the multiple facets of their sound. Garnering huge acclaim, they blend crate-dug classics, brand new material, and more leftfield selections to create unique moments.

Kings Of The Rollers

Serum, Voltage, Bladerunner and Inja have become D&B figureheads individually but have come together as Kings Of The Rollers. As solo artists, they’ve released music across the scene’s biggest labels including Hospital Records, 31, V Recordings, Metalheadz, Ram and Low Down Deep and collected multiple awards in the process. Their debut track ‘Burnt Ends’ became a key catalyst for the “foghorn” bass trend which has dominated clubs and raves.

Having signed exclusively to Hospital Records, Kings Of The Rollers released their self-titled debut album in 2019 picking up “Best Album” at the national Drum & bBss Awards. They followed this up in 2020 with their ‘Main Event’ EP and remixes for Sigma and Shy FX. Their sets are as unpredictable as they are explosive, switching from the foundation to the cutting edge at breakneck speed. Inja’s lightning-fast reactions and uplifting lyrics provide the perfect accompaniment.

High Contrast has been at the leading edge of the Drum & Bass scene for 20 years. He curated music for the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony; he’s worked with everyone from Underworld to DJ Fresh; he did a timeless Fabric live mix; and he’s one of dance music’s elite remixers, achieving acclaim for reworks of Adele, Duke Dumont, White Stripes, Kanye West and, of course, London Grammar’s ‘Strong’. High Contrast co-produced Underworld’s latest album, the revitalized sounds of ‘Barbara, Barbara, We Have A Shining Future’. He also worked with DJ Fresh and Dizzee Rascal last year on the Radio 1 A-listed ‘How Love Begins’ single.

As well as some of the biggest D&B artists of the moment on the main stage, ‘Area 2’ will also play host to local talent Born On Road X The Blast. Fans attending the event will get to enjoy two days of definitive dance and D&B classics at this brand-new music event, against the enigmatic backdrop of Bristol’s harbour with boats and cranes.

“This is a brilliant line up for Bristol and Hospitality will be bringing a number of big names to the city who have a huge following in the city. After a sell out Saturday for our first city centre festival, Siren will bring drum and bass to the Summer festival scene with a backdrop of Bristol’s iconic harbour. Tickets for both nights are selling well so we’re looking forward to a great night.”

Tom Hoyle, Co-Founder of Siren
