Bass Drop Boat Party #2

Following up the Andy C boat party in January, Bass Drop sets sail again with DnB superstars, Dirty Phonics and Camo & Krooked. Local support from Linken and Vertigo (who warmed up for Chase and Status at Chinese Laundry) and reggae tunes on the top deck.

Dirtyphonics have become a worldwide phenomenon with their highly acclaimed and original live performances, DJ sets and their refusal to be defined by just one genre of music. With cutting edge releases, all of which are revered for seamlessly fusing electronic music with drum and bass, electro, dubstep, hip-hop and breaks, coupled with their recent win at the DnB Arena Awards, there’s no doubt that Dirtyphonics are the most exciting thing to happen to electronic music in a very long time.

When “one of the biggest talents in DnB” (according to Grooverider), Vienna based Reinhard Rietsch aka CAMO and up and coming producer Markus Wagner aka KROOKED, teamed up in 2007 nobody could have guessed what impact their collaboration will have on the scene. Since then they have written and produced some of the hottest and most devastating dancefloor anthems Drum’n’Bass has heard for a long time. Be it the more soulful sound of the massive “Tonight” or the raw power of smashers like “Dakota” (both released on Mainframe Records) they always hit the right buttons. With this amazing musical talent and ambition they quickly managed to get their tunes released on the biggest labels within the scene and on heavy rotation on DnB homebase BBC Radio 1.
