The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.

The Red Shark Soundsystem are an electronic bass music band based in Bristol. Their live show is an energetic and eclectic blend of bass driven musics. Like a twisted HR Giger painting put to music, they fuse live instrumentation and vocals with machines, a heavy cocktail of drum & bass, dubstep, breakbeat and electronica. Fronted by rapid-fire Bristol MC Proliffix and soulful vocalist Ivy Cairo, the Red Shark Sound System use live drums, synthesisers, samplers and computers to create their signature dark and intense sound which has earned them the moniker "the pirates of the low-frequency sound waves".  

They have taken their live show across the country, from the Blue Lagoon Festival on the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast to the grimy splendour of Bristol's Black Swan, through Cardiff's underground electronic clubs to the cross-cultural Espirito Brum festival and via the official reunion of Newport's legendary TJ's nightclub. They have performed at modern art exhibitions, after parties, raves and Unemployed Daytime Disco's. They’ve appeared on the Baby Boomtown Show (BCFM) and played charity shows for the likes of TEMWA and the SAFE Foundation plus supported acts including Jazzsteppa, Dub Mafia, Utah Jazz and John Farah.
