Currently one of the most versatile and in-demand producers around, Hamdi's ability to consistently produce a wide range of styles and genres has made him one of the underground music scene's most exciting prospects.

Born in Oxford, Hamdi (real name Alexander Hamdi) has been producing electronic music for over a decade, first getting into Ding soon after his eighteenth birthday. Hamdi soon established himself as one of the most in demand young producers in the UK scene with consistent EP releases and a string of well-received free downloads on Soundcloud. By this time, he had also already earned a reputation as one of the most energetic DJs around, with many recognising Hamdi as the only DJ on the circuit to DJ and MC at the same time.

Hamdi's production, like his DJing, is gritty, high-energy and rhythmic and he is comfortable producing across the full spectrum of electronic dance music. Yet at the same time, his signature Dubstep sound design is easy to recognise, and has a power and weight to it that not many in the scene can match.

Hamdi's breakthrough came in 2017, with the release of Show Me with Sammy Virji, which took the UK Bass Scene by storm. The VIP, released 18 months later, was one of the most sought after tracks of that year, and currently sits on over a million Spotify streams. Since then, Hamdi has gone from strength to strength, building a strong brand and reputation as one of the most consistent multi-genre artists around. As 3000 Blog wrote, 'There really aren't many who are keeping pace with Hamdi, as he tends to fly from deck to deck, pulling the audience from left to right in a seriously thrilled multi-genre ride.

The last couple of years have been huge for Hamdi. While he has had a substantial and loyal UK following for some years now, in the last 18 months, Hamdi's fanbase has gone global. His edit of Sammy Virji's Never Let You Go and his now modern classic Skanka both took the Dubstep scene by storm and opened his sound up to a whole new audience. Skanka became a mega hit in the global Dubstep community, with many in the scene calling it the track of the year.

For a long time It was hard to escape Skanka in the US, and it quickly became a staple of pretty much every Dubstep set. Artists such as Skrillex, Zeds Dead, Porter Robinson, Knife Party, NGHTMRE, Slander, Subtronics, Of The Trees and countless others have consistently supported the track, leading to the track being played to crowds upwards of 30,000 people across the United States.

As a result, recent demand for Hamdi has not just been exclusive to the UK. His recent six-city headline tour of India was a great success, playing to packed rooms in every city he went to With upcoming dates across Europe, an Australian tour in the diary, and huge interest in the US, Hamdi's global profile is growing at a rapid rate

HEYZ is an American record producer, DJ, entertainer and comedian from Greensboro, North Carolina. At an early age he displayed a love for music and natural ability to play instruments without any formal training. Although his adolescence and teenage years saw music as his primary interest, he didn’t start seriously writing music until his mid 20s.

After picking up a copy of Logic Pro X, his talent for production progressed quickly. Within months, deadmau5's widely acclaimed imprint, mau5trap, took notice of his sound. After signing with mau5trap and releasing 2 successful singles, HEYZ released his debut EP, ‘Schedule 1’, in February 2018.

As HEYZ grew as an artist, his sound saw a departure from Techno to a heavy, grittier form of bass music with an emphasis on strong vocals and songwriting. Ever since, the bass music world has welcomed HEYZ with open arms as he released EPs, singles, and remixes with coveted labels such as Jauz’s “Bite This”, Circus Records, and Zeds Dead’s “Deadbeats”.


2020 saw HEYZ’s comedic personality flourish to the forefront of his brand as he amassed over 100,000 followers on Tiktok within months. The multi-talented artist continues his rise with his debut Deadbeats EP set for spring 2021, and steadfast plans to provide continued comedic relief to a turbulent world.

In 2018, both Soundcloud and Billboard Dance announced DNMO as an Artist to Watch which paved the way for his U.S. debut at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater supporting Zeds Dead with their collaboration ‘We Could Be Kings,’making him the youngest electronic artist to perform there. The momentum continued as DNMO travelled across the U.S. on tours with OOKAY and Ghastly to finish off the year.


April 2019 shook fans with the release of DNMO’s four-track EP, Definition Forbidden garnering five million streams, and catapulting him into the spotlight as he is the youngest performer to ever hit EDC Las Vegas’ stage. Following DNMO’s EP, he also collaborated and released tracks with 3LAU on ‘Falling’ and Jauz on ‘Thunder.’ Having just finished a massive festival run during the summer, DNMO signed a publishing deal with Prescription Songs.


2020 will garner more new music from DNMO, with forthcoming releases already scheduled with Deadbeats and RAM Records. DNMO continues to build momentum, working his way up as one of electronic music’s ones to watch.

Turn The Tide

Inspired and driven by the future of electronic music, its story-telling potential and ability to convey powerful emotions, IMANU is the brainchild of Rotterdam-based Jonathan Kievit. At the forefront of a new generation of producers, he rejects stuffy genre boundaries, rigid tempo expectations and DJ-friendly format formalities and just wants to create genuine emotional electronic music. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Established late 2019, the IMANU project follows an already impressive chapter in drum & bass. Breaking through at the age of just 16 with a highly distinctive and technical brutalist style, he made a remarkable impression in a very short space of time. However, this was only a hint at what was to come. Now in his early 20s, IMANU has already been responsible for releases on significant labels such as VISION, Heaven Sent, UKF and mau5trap, he’s remixed the likes of Apashe, TOKiMONSTA and What So Not & Skrillex and already collaborated with fellow kindred, unclassifiable spirits like Sleepnet, Mefjus and Buunshin. Many more are expected to drop in due course.

Each release joining more dots and weaving an indelible, emotional thread between every genre you can throw a pigeonhole at, IMANU is the culmination of everything that inspires Jonathan. Everything he’s achieved so far, everything he’s learnt and everything that moves him… But flipped in a much more personal and open-armed creative way that focuses purely on the future and where this music can be taken next…
