Hybrid Minds 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 in the scene.

As their recent international booking schedule shows – including stop-offs at Let it Roll, Liquicity, Rampage, and FM4 Festival – they've accumulated a passionate, global army of fans.

The uncompromising beauty of their music, coupled with an unerring instinct for connecting with an audience, means that witnessing their live DJ sets – often accompanied by regular MC, Tempza – is a bucket-list experience for all true D&B fans.

After receiving plaudits for their debut “Mountains” album, their second, “Elements”, takes us on a journey through the multiple facets to their sound, and shines a light on some of the best vocalists in the scene. Running the gamut of emotions from hope to heartache, it's no wonder the music of Hybrid Minds has struck a chord with so many people.

And their live Outline concept featuring Tempza & Charlotte Haining brings a whole new perspective to the Hybrid Minds story. Garnering huge acclaim wherever discerning heads are found, they blend crate-dug classics, brand new material, and more leftfield selections to create unique moments for their audience every time.

These are Hybrid Minds, creators of powerful and sublime drum & bass. And there are many more chapters of the story left to come. Pay close attention.

Carving a reputation as the contemporary face of British house and techno, Patrick Topping continues to garner widespread acclaim on account of his prolific production prowess and dynamic DJ sets. Soundtracking countless sunrise memories as resident of Jamie Jones’ famed Paradise parties at Ibiza’s DC-10, Patrick’s now 50-release strong back-catalogue is bursting with iconic dance-floor records on labels such as Hot Creations, Truesoul and Relief Records, with further remixes for Calvin Harris and Booka Shade charting Patrick’s meteoric rise.

International DJ, producer and remixer Tino Piontek aka Purple Disco Machine has been on a whirlwind of a musical journey since the 2009 conception of his highly successful disco house music project.

The Dresden-born artist has racked up numerous achievements, although it was his 2013 breakthrough hit ‘My House’, on OFF Recordings, that really propelled Purple Disco Machine into new heights. The track remains one of Beatport’s best ever sellers and Purple Disco Machine now ranks #2 in the online retailer’s all-time Top 100 Artists chart.

Andre “Shy FX” Williams has quietly been one of the most influential British producers of the last 25 years. From his groundbreaking jungle anthem Original Nuttah (a tune that has as much impact nowas it did when it first smashed into the charts in the early 90s), to his timely switch into dubstep, house and roots reggae in the 00s, to his behind-the-scenes production work for multi-million selling pop RnB acts, Shy’s ability to fuse sound system culture with electronic futurism and classic song writing has defined the music of successive generations. Now he’s prepared to drop a new album that deftly steps between tempo and styles, encompassing lyrical hip hop, sweetsoul, andbass heavy breakbeat, drawing together the many influences that have kept him at the forefront of dance music for over quarter of a century
