THIS IS IT!

At 7pm tonight D&BTV will be hosting our 200th live show. A show that will go down in drum & bass history…

24 Hours

Over 30 DJs and MCs

ONE MASSIVE CAUSE!

A non-stop LIVE broadcast, we kick off right here at 7pm tonight and will not stop rolling until 7pm tomorrow night. Make no mistakes; this is easily the most ambitious project we have ever devised. We want you to join us… And help raise awareness and funds for a genuinely well-deserving cause, Rhythmix. A charity with a firm focus on helping the next generation find confidence and a bright future through music, their hard work should resonate with every single one of us.

Helping us along the way is a line-up that reads like a who’s who in D&B: from expert emerging talent to legends who helped shape the scene into the beast it is today, from 7pm tonight tune in to find the cream of D&B talent rinsing the trusty system at D&BTV Studios.

HUGE doesn’t give that line-up justice! One we’re especially excited about is the return of Future Cut; killer producers from the late nineties/early noughties with epic smashers on the likes of Renegade Hardware and Metalheadz, they’re ditching their pop music studio duties to return to the decks for this very special occasion.

“We’re bringing back a lot of old cuts from back in the day. Possibly a few cuts that never got released,” grins D-Cutz. “Expect a big reminiscence set. Exclusives? You never know! The last nine years have been taken up by pop production. It’s been good. We’ve been out of it for a while but we still love drum & bass. For us it’s more a case of watching the new generation of people come through. We still keep our ears to the ground. Have we been practicing? I like to think it’s like riding a bike! Get your head in the 2001/2002 zone and expect some classics!”

NONE of these sets are fly-by-night, standard roll-outs! Each of the DJs on the line up will be bringing something special, making D&BTV’s 200th show the talk of bass town for a long, long time to come.
