SUB/Stance017: Breakage & Djinn

SUB/stance, Forte Touring & Earth Agency are proud to present this massive celebration of breakbeat culture featuring Breakage (UK), Djinn (UK), Jaise and a selection of Perth's finest Jungle/Drum & Bass selectors.

Born in Slough, Berkshire, Breakage was first introduced to dance music at the age of seven by his foster brother, and after moving to London as a teen, he became enamoured with the city's jungle scene. At just 16 he produced a critically acclaimed remix of Nasty Habits' "Here Come the Drums," released a series of EPs through the influential Reinforced label, and dropped his debut album, This Too Shall Pass, in 2006.

A year later, he signed to Shy FX's Digital Soundboy imprint and changed his signature sound to the minimal rhythms and heavy basslines of the emerging dubstep genre. He appeared on Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe's "Hottest Record in the World Today" slot five times in a row, while he became an in-demand remixer for the likes of Florence and the Machine, David Guetta, and Massive Attack.

In 2010, he released his second LP, Foundation and his third in 2015, When the Night Comes. His own label Index has become a buy on sight label for Jungle/Drum & Bass enthusiasts worldwide and continues to push the boundaries of quality in the genre.

Manchester DJ & Producer Djinn continues to rise as an undeniable force in drum & bass, remaining firmly true to the original, sub-heavy 170 sound. DJ’ing since 2004, Djinn has dropped her distinctive selection at countless events across the UK & performed internationally for over 15 years.

With releases on Foundation X, Repertoire, Mindstep, Subdepth & most recently Rupture LDN, with ‘Tempest’ featuring on their latest Planets series 12” – Jupiter, DJINN is a formidable force in the scene as both a producer and DJ.

Launched in 2015, Djinn’s own Manchester night Formless built a reputation as one of the north’s most reputable drum & bass events & received a nomination for ‘Best Club Event’ in DJ Mag’s Best of The British Awards in 2019. Djinn also holds residency at highly renowned London jungle event Rupture & has played for many of the scene’s most longstanding & respected promoters, labels, and brands.

A versatile, meticulous DJ, Djinn’s uncompromising style captures the true essence of authentic underground Jungle/D&B; drawing deep on selection, blending a devastating combination of deep atmospheric beats, with brooding dark cuts & heavyweight menacing amenism.

Rounding out the lineup is Perths own representative of Metalheadz & Dispatch Recordings Jaise, Syrus, NVS, I33a & SammyC to bring you a Summer Sunday Session of proper underground Drum & Bass.
