Although they are mostly known for their organic,
multi-instrumental live performances they grew up in clubs, listening to 2-step, garage, house and of course, dubstep, so sometimes they just stand behind the decks to give a taste of their vision of electronic music. Before/after them: iamyank, 9b0, Headshotboyz. More to be found at the official Facebook event page.Design Market
