The thirst for music is there and we just need more venues and opportunities for this emerging talent.

Kicking things of this week, we have a big one on the drum and bass scene as Surface DnB returns at The Old Barn, Milton with drum and bass heavy weights Scar alongside Rushmore. Scar is a collaborative project between Survival and Script who have released on the likes of Goldie’s Metalheadz and Dispatch Recordings. Joining them will be resident DJs Disruption, Luke Loud, Zork, Banksy, Ammy, Replay, Velos and Tandy alongside MC Rivmik.

The EP blends the laidback deep house vibe of The Dawn, aggressive basslines in T2 and the dark techno atmosphere of Ken Desmend’s remix of T2. No doubt you will be hearing this AILA release among many others at local house and techno nights.
