Detonate bring back a smasher with two of the hottest acts in drum n bass firing up the rave in October. Continuing their dexterity, the line-up reflects dnb it's most visceral, with a true all rounder of the scene squaring off against the daddy of sonic warfare as Fabio and Mampi Swift clash!
Fabio has simply been one of the most epochal forces in drum n bass since it began. As one half of radio One's legendary duo alongside Grooverider, he became the biggest Dj in the genre and responsible in much the same manner as Pete Tong in terms of breaking records into the public consensus. He used this power to allow for one of the more breathtaking components of the music to flourish, coining the term liquid funk for the soul infused rumblings that were quickly adding a rustic sheen to the growling menace of the underground. Still running tings across the globe, he remains one of the finest ambassadors for the music in every club that pushes the sound.
Fabio is joined by deebee's heaviest solider, the indomitable Mampi Swift. Every true drum n bass purveyor will testify to Swift's undeniable ability to completely smash dancefloors each and every time he plays, a true bastion of hard hitting consistency. Specialising in the gnarly funk that the hardcore adore, Mampi has built a reputation on delivering drum n bass in the sickest and most brutal fashion, yet never losing the lucidity that separates his style from those rollocking the music out inanely.
Support as ever comes from Transit mafia, whilst the smoky sonics and wobbly bass of dubstep gets covered from N-Type.
