A year ago, Funkdub brought you the first Lockdown featuring a blistering live set from Paradigm X (Exegene).
A drum n bass, electronica and dub producer for over 15 years, with releases on Exegene, Darklands and Reanimate recordings, Paradigm X brought his incredible live act to Chester.
Then, December 8th 2006 saw Lockdown's second incarnation. Headliners The Nutopians set new standards in dnb mixing, fuelled by the MC styles of Techno Jesus and live percussion from Drummer Dan.
Now, on 7/4/7, the next episode will eclipse all previous nights. It's time for Lockdown to raise the bar again.
A night dedicated to the junglists of the North West, specialising in Jungle, Jump Up, IDM, Drumfunk, Brazillian, Techstep, Hardstep, Darkstep and Dubstep. Incredible beats, breath-taking visuals, thundering bass.
Prepare yourself: Lockdown III is coming.
This night takes the foot off the upfront pedal and allows the deejay to build the set thats deep and chilled, still with an emphasis on the dancefloor. Being able to play the best of DnBs musical side without worrying about bringing fresh tunes to the table. This month we showcase Cardiffs 'Brigand' boys as well as placing 'Silent Runnings' and Cardiffs longest serving DnB residents Haze & Focus. Enjoi.
