Out To Lunch Festival: Crilli DNB is 20 with Calibre and SP:MC

Crilli DNB celebrates twenty years of hosting Drum and Bass and Electronic Music parties in NI, inviting two extra-special guests along for the ride: Dominick Martin AKA Calibre and his host for the night, SP:MC.

From its little roots in a Bangor County Down back-bar, over the past two decades the Crilli crew have gone on to host some of the biggest and best in DNB and jungle, doing their bit to showcase alternative sounds and tempos in the city of Belfast.

An occasion like this calls for the cream of the crop and not many fit the bill better than Belfast native Calibre. Bring up Liquid DNB in any late night conversation and surely Calibre is king, whilst his association with the likes of Fabric/ Houghton Festival mastermind Craig Richards has brought to the fore a totally different side to his sound in recent years with much-celebrated broken beat, downtempo house and dubstep releases.

Since the turn of the century the prolific producer has released 24 albums in addition to countless singles, EPs and remixes. Dominick’s work and the buzz it creates in circles worldwide is a beautiful thing to see. What makes it even sweeter is that he’s a man from Belfast. Class.

Calibre is joined on the night by one of the most well-respected and busiest MCs on the circuit: SP:MC. An esteemed garage, dubstep and DNB producer in his own right, SP:MC has been an entrusted host for many of Crilli’s favourite DJs over the years. A legendary voice in the scene and the perfect compliment to Calibre, this will be SP:MC’s first time performing at Ulster Sports Club and his first time in Belfast in over 20 years.

The Crilli residents, Rory Rudimentary and PMCC complete the line-up, ensuring that all basses are covered on this very special night for drum and bass fans in the north.

This event is part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival's Out To Lunch 2026 programme.
