Loadstar & Sigma Will Destroy this Metropolis!
Just when you thought we would let you have a lazy Sunday we hit you with a big dose of Drum & Bass courtesy of our hometown mischievous duo Hellfire Machina. Bass Fueled Mischief teams up once again with AEG and The Highline Ballroom to bring you Metropolis: an all ages 160bpm bro out with support from OGs Dara, Empress and the Burner Bros.
You may have heard of a little song named after famed actress Barbra Streisand: i don’t personally know if she liked the homage but what i do know is that A-Trak and Armand Van Helden created a modern dance classic that appeals to the masses and has been used in almost every venue. Sigma is most known, this side of town, for poignant DnB remixes with really fat kicks and infectious synth lines and what better to give his bass stamp of approval than this gem below.
During the second wave of DnB, the duo started off strong releasing a pivotal track on DJ Zinc’s Bingo Beats called “All Blue” and continued their onslaught with such remixes as “Rescue Me” feat. Ms Dynamite and Skepta and of course the behemoth collaboration remix with Adam F, “Shut the Lights Off“ feat. Redman.
With support from pillars of DnB like Goldie, Andy C, Friction and Fresh, the duo recently launch their own label called Life Recordings featuring a monthly Podcast jam packed of jump up hands in the air anthems that will have you goin like an Energizer bunny!
Starting their solo careers during the first wave of DnB in the 90s, Loadstar take inspiration from most of the UK’s finest of that era such as Roni Size, The Prodigy, Andy C and The Chemical Brothers. In 2007 they solidify their partnership and their names in the DnB archives. Remixing the likes of Wolfgang Gartner, Example, Chase & status and Jessie J to name a few, the duo have been really busy these past two years invading the airwaves with Space Between, a radio friendly indie vocal driven churner that solidifies their position in Ram recordings along side big names such as Sub Focus and Chase & Status.
