OPTIV is a name firmly embedded in both the forefront and deep memory of any true fan of drum & bass. He emerged into the scene with the seminal Cause4Concern sound, which made an enduring mark that influenced many of today’s great artists, including Noisia, and helped to mould the tech aesthetic that we –know today. The Optiv moniker erupted into existence a few years after the establishment of Cause4Concern, with the founding of his own label Red Light Records in 2002, an imprint that continues to be influential in both launching the careers of promising artists such as Inward, Hanzo & Randie, Impak as well as putting out high quality audio from established artists such as Tobax, Telekinesis, The Upbeats and Black Sun Empire. This is in addition to running the pioneering C4C Recordings imprint, that’s been committed to pushing forward-thinking tech for close to two decades now.
Over the course of Optiv’s prolific and long-running solo career, he’s released on a significant range of labels, including leading taste-makers such as Virus, Playaz, Blackout, Subtitles, Eatbrain, Hospital, Shogun Audio, Invisible and Dispatch to name just a few. His commitment to a pure analogue sound, inspired by his techno and electro roots, in combination with a stripped aesthetic that requires audio purity, has ensured that his sound remains both timeless and ahead of the pack. With years of experience behind him to apply to the dance, as well as his immaculate sense for freshness, Optiv is a tried and tested artist who continues to make a significant impact on the drum & bass sphere.

Bruvnors Got Beatz

Alex P and Chris Spillman played football and were friends a long time before they came
together and formed Bruvnors.
Chris had been asking Alex to come in the studio with him for some time. The turning point
was when Chris sent some of his work to Alex, he liked what he heard and when they got
together in the studio found they had many of the same traits and work ethics. Now they
have the perfect working relationship complementing each other and have come up with a
unique sound.
Expect to hear a lot more from the Bruvnors

Drum and bass is, and always has been a brimming and bubbling hotpot for raw talent with new producers and DJs making waves everywhere you turn but while SoundCloud and local club nights offer an army of exciting and adept MCs it’s an incredibly rare feat that one of these melodical masters of ceremonies cements themselves as of the elite. 
 
For the over a decade the line up of lyricists at the biggest raves and well-revered label nights has stayed for the most part a carbon copy of the event before (and the one before that), however, crowd-pleaser Visionobi, honed his force and broke that glass ceiling and is now a go-to host for the scene’s biggest players Metalheadz, Shogun, Hospital, Soulvent and D&BA to name a few.
 
In 2013 Visionobi, or as his mother would call him Richard Twaites, won the Drum and Bass Arena award for Best Newcomer MC, which at the time gained him a lot of ‘man of the moment’ type tags. This momentary status has been proven wrong with his organic story of hardwork and longevity.
 
Rich started MC’ing over 20 years ago and sharpened his skills as part of a Southampton based drum and bass family which included Gerra & Stone and Joe Raygun. With the help of other musical minds, the group created a thriving local scene curating now legendary night’s Wax, Raygun Youth and Release playing host to huge headliners. Visionobi flexed his promotion skills by holding down a ‘Visionobi Presents’ residency in his hometown at London’s famous superclub Fabric and now looks to continue that legacy under the moniker “Colony” for future Visionobi Presents events.
 
Aside from establishing himself on the live circuit Visionobi also stacks up an impressive discography including releases on the mighty Metalheadz, Dispatch Recordings, Sun & Bass Recordings and Soul:vent and his Red Bull Music Swift 16 has racked up over 200,000 views/listens across social media and showcases his thought-provoking grasp of conscious lyrical content and his infectiously pulsating flow. 
 
Man of many motivations Rich is known amongst industry peers as one of the scenes good guys, hardworking, friendly and well informed which earned him the job as a radio show host on world-renowned Rinse FM for Metalheadz for over 4 years.
