MC Fava (Germany) (Sun and Bass, Spearhead Records, V Recordings, Beatilistics)
MC Fava already started his career back in 2001 when he was responsible for the Jungle Club events in his hometown Freiburg. He is a chameleon on the Mic – capable of hosting all styles of Drum & Bass but certainly feels most comfortable if more melodic sounds leave him space to fully develop his vocal range that varies from deep rhymes over singing phrases to crowd hyping chants. Throughout the years, MC Fava started to tour Europe, his musical talent allowed for him to perform in various countries, and through this he achieved performances on each continent.
MC Fava is thought to be the first non UK MC to have been on the microphone at the world famous Fabric Club in London. He remains the only German Drum & Bass MC who regularly performs in United Kingdom, the motherland of this music genre. Fava slowly drew the attention of many promoters and also booking agencies – one of them: Clinic Talent, the artist agency of Hospital Records, one of the most famous Drum & Bass record labels worldwide. In 2015 Fava exclusively joined Clinic Talent who then were responsible to organize his numerous shows each year.
He has been showcasing his passion and love for music on performances throughout the whole of Europe, touring Australia and New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Colombia and the United States. Fava hosted stages of the biggest festivals in the scene like Let it Roll in Czech Republic, Global Gathering in South Korea, Outlook Festival in Croatia, Balaton Sound in Hungary, Mysteryland and Liqucitiy in the Netherlands, the Street Parade in Switzerland, Pohoda Festival in Slovakia, Kendal Calling in the UK, Sonne Mond und Sterne Festival in Germany or Sun and Bass on Sardinia.
Fava´s extraordinarily sensible feeling for rhythm and melody made him one of the most demanded MCs in the scene. Although he is a non-native speaker, he annually has been nominated for an international music award since 2014, being among the Top 10 Drum & Bass MCs worldwide in the Drum & Bass Arena Awards, London. In 2021 the Drum & Bass awards Germany got installed and Fava instantly won the ´Best MC´ category in 2021 & 2022.
Fava is not only a much appreciated host for his live events, he rapidly became one of the go-to artists for quality vocal delivery as well. His voice enriches approximately 100 songs that got released on some the most respected labels in the scene like Hospital Records, Med School, V Recordings, Spearhead Records, Commercial Su***de and Fokuz Recordings. In 2017, Hospital Records released the live recording of the London Elektricity Big Band show at the Pohoda Festival, Slovakia´s biggest music festival. MC Fava is featured on the recording hosting a 22 piece live band. In February 2019 he released his debut EP on the famous British label Spearhead Records. 2022 will see the release of his first solo EP on the legendary ´V Recordings´ UK and an EP on his own label ´Beatalistics´. His long awaited debut album, LIFETRACKS, just released on Sun & Bass Recordings, and he has been on his world tour to promote the release, delivering his now infamous FAVA in Session DJ/MC sets. The excitement continues to rise, and there are no signs of it slowing down anytime soon.

Hugh Hardie (UK) (Soulvent Records, Hospital Records)
Cambridge-raised producer Hugh Hardie first rose to prominence in 2015, signing with Hospital Records. Early success was quickly found with tracks like ‘Tearing Me Apart’ and ‘Wide Eyes’ and paved the way for Hugh’s debut full-length ‘Colourspace’. His sophomore studio LP ‘Shadows & Silhouettes’ was a refined take on his signature sound and displayed his growth as an artist. Since then an impressive string of EPs, including ‘Dream In Green’, ‘Learning To Fly’ and ‘7 Tunes in 7 Days’ have explored new sonic territories and solidified his position as one of the scene’s most promising talents.

Making the move to Soulvent Records in 2022, Hugh continues to concoct his own potent brand of drum & bass, bursting with genuine funk, soul and emotion. His first two Soulvent singles ‘Blush’ featuring Zara Kershaw and ‘Face Off’ featuring PAV4N of Foreign Beggars demonstrate new inspiration adding to an already substantial musical repertoire. Hugh’s productions exude effortless talent and his perpetual dedication to his craft has earned him a place among the greats of drum & bass as well as top DJ spots around the world. With his third album set to drop in August 2023, listeners eagerly anticipate the next chapter in his musical journey.
