Special Live Performance and hosted by:
SOPHEYE: (URBAN CHEMISTRY / BASSDRIVETUNES/ USA)
‘Sopheye’ is one of those rare vocalists who not only entertains a crowd, but also engages them. Born in the UK and raised in Miami, she brings a bit of class and a lot of sass when she hits the stage. As a classically trained vocalist, she has built upon her diverse upbringing, encompassing genres from drum n’ bass to jazz to straight up hip-hop. According to Sopheye, she developed her soulful sound through her perspective of music as an emotional outlet; in her words, “to get out and do my own creative thing and make my own creative name.”

Since then the releases and collaborations have been pouring forth, with projects including Mixmaster Doc, S.P.Y and Redeyes to name a few. His tracks have turned many heads to his unique skills in both his songwriting and production, and his soulful, smooth and sleazy vibes have landed him releases on such labels as Innerground, Liquid V, CIA and Integral.

KOMATIC: (SHOGUN AUDIO / RUBIK RECORDS / BASSDRIVE / UK)
Komatic is a Bedford based producer, originally from the North East of England. He has always been into electronic music, first being led to the scene through The Prodigy’s first albums ‘Experience’ and ‘Music for the Jilted Generation’, onto Massive Attack and then a bit later, Chicane. Komatic first found drum and bass through listening to tape packs back in early 1992 / 1993. It was from these packs that Komatic desperately wanted to DJ and be involved. ‘I remember going to early raves like Evolution and World Dance at the Sanctuary and just concentrating, staring at the DJ’s hands and trying to work out in my head what it was they were doing. I was fascinated.’ It was from here that Komatic bought his first mixer. ‘I couldn’t afford 2 decks, so I started learning by using a normal hi-fi turntable without a pitch control, and a CD player. I used to practice keeping the record in time to the CD’s with my fingers. It was a crap setup, but it taught me how to mix pretty quickly! When I then got turntables with pitch controls, it suddenly all fell into place.’ This led to a residency at Raindance, wining the ‘breaking new talent competition’ at Helter Skelter and various pirate radio slots, not to mention being a runner up in a national student DJ competition to find the best student DJ in the country, held at the Ministry of Sound. After some hard saving for a computer, he hasn’t stopped making music since. Over the last few years, things have started to progress. The first was making it onto BBC 1xtra’s playlist with ‘Ring The Alarm’, Komatic’s first release. Komatic continued to get support from 1xtra with DJ’s Chrissy Chris and Bailey all running tunes such as ‘Viscous’, ‘Night Drive’, ‘Solution’ and ‘Human Kinetic’. Support from Nerm & DCode on Radio 1 has also followed, with his ‘Black and Gold remix’ becoming a permanent fixture on the shows. ‘Viscous’ has since been signed to Spearhead, ‘Lucid’ and ‘Night Fell’ signed to Phunkfiction, ‘Jazz Club’ and ‘Remain Free’ to Frequency Factory and ‘Simple Complexities’ to Ennex Records. This exposure also landed him a weekly radio show on Bassdrive.
Komatic has since been working with Technique’s ‘Technicolour’, and so far their styles of production and music have been a perfect compliment to each other. The collaborations are going from strength to strength, and definitely tunes to look out for in the future.
