Slam - Activate (Official Video)

 
Download: https://slam.fanlink.to/ActivateEP Slam - Activate EP [SOMA650D] 1. Activate 2. Quantum 3. Somnambulist 4. Trsmit Slam return to Soma with the slick, minimalistic and hypnotic Activate EP. With a focus firmly rooted on the dance floor, the duo explore deeper and more hypnotic regions on this new EP, with a varied selection of raw, driving yet stripped techno. Title track Activate opens with deep, driving, pulsing rhythms and straight forward percussive elements, lead with hypnotic vocal loops. Quantum delves deeper as dubbed out reverb & delay saturates the tripped out acid bass sounds that flicker into existence as stripped yet effective drums create the intensity. Somnambulist continues the stripped back nature of the EP as subtle changes in FX give the track live whilst the swelling percussive elements drive the rhythms. Trsmit offers up a tougher yet still minimalistic approach to close out the EP. An intense and tension building atmosphere is created throughout the track as warping synths swell & filter against a backdrop of sparse yet effective percussion.

Since forming in 2012, Leftwing & Kody have gone on to become two of the UK’s finest exports. Both Mixmag and DJ Mag named them as ones to watch a mere year after they paired up, with DJ Mag even nominating them for ‘Best Breakthrough DJ’ in their Best of British Awards. Since then the duo have gone on to present a monthly Rinse FM show, earn residencies at Fabric (London) and Sankeys (Ibiza), as well as releases on Hot Creations, VIVa, Truesoul, Mobilee and Knee Deep In Sound, as well as their own renowned imprint Lost Records.

It’s fair to say Leftwing & Kody, real names Jon Kong and Chris Adie, have made it look easy, but it’s their determination and diligence that’s helped them prosper so rapidly in such a short time. Before long support from the upper echelons of house and techno quickly burgeoned, with Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, James Zabiela, Maya Jane Coles, Loco Dice, Steve Lawler, Adam Beyer, Nic Fanciulli and Huxley continually advocating their productions throughout the years. Before long the pair had launched Lost Records, before kick-starting it with a lauded release from Darius Syrossian. Now, with regular label showcases and a Beatport topping discography spanning forty releases, Lost Records can boast a roster including wAFF, Josh Butler, Detlef Yousef and Mihalis Safras. With everything mentioned it’s no surprise, then, that Leftwing & Kody continue to charm BBC tastemakers such as Pete Tong, Danny Howard, Monki, MistaJam and Nemone. Meanwhile, press support has been equally tenacious, with the likes of Mixmag, DJ Mag, Thump and Dancing Astronaut regularly endorsing the likely duo.

Reflecting on a 2016 that’s seen Leftwing & Kody and Lost Records attain new heights, including releases on Viva, Truesoul, Mobilee and Knee Deep In Sound a renowned summer residency at Viva Warriors (Sankeys Ibiza) there’s clearly no symptoms of Jon and Chris resting on their laurels. With releases already lined up on Wow Recordings, Relief Records, Solid Grooves and a landmark 50th release on Lost Records, fans of their high-octane musical aesthetic have an exciting 2017 to look forward to.

Rampage Open Air 2023 sets new standard for drum-'n-bass & dubstep in Kristalpark Lommel

"With 6 stages, over 300 acts, a larger festival and camping area, a larger all-female techno stage, more facilities, an exclusive 'camping festival' on Thursday Γ‘nd headliners Subtronics and Wilkinson, we're really going all-in!"
- Hans Machiels, founder Rampage -


On Friday 30 June and Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 July 2023, Rampage Open Air will once again transform the Kristalpark in Lommel into the Walhalla for all drum 'n bass & dubstep fans. If ROA 2022 was already a record edition with more than 40,000 partying soldiers, this year the organization will set a new standard. More than 300 top acts from the genre, spread over 6 stages, with internationally sought-after headliners Subtronics and Wilkinson making their appearance for the first time, Belgian phenomena such as Apashe, Used, Andromedik and Murdock (a total of 40 Belgian acts), but also edgy surprises such as beat wizards Eprom, Ivy Lab, Nitepunk, Ghoulish, Hamdi, and others (full line-up).
Female dj violence, exclusive camping festival on Thursday and
skate competition with a prize pool of €5000 !

Returns after huge success and by popular demand: the all-female techno stage. The beats of the female DJs will generally bang even louder than last year, because not only will the all-female techno stage be bigger and the line-up expanded (11), but there will also be another 27 female drum 'n' bass & dubstep DJs, bringing the total to no less than 38 female acts at ROA 2023. Very good news also for the ROA campers, because they can already pitch their tents from Thursday, June 29, so they don't have to miss anything of the festival, and they also get an exclusive, extra festival day at the campsite with a great line-up. Another eye-catcher on the festival grounds will be the immense, custom-made Rampage Open Air skate ramp (the largest in the world as far as festivals are concerned). This will also host a skate competition during the festival weekend, with a prize pool of no less than €5,000 to share!

In addition to all this fun, party animals can look forward to an even more insane overall experience on the wider festival and camping grounds. Double the fairground attractions, 3 swimming pools, fat pre- and afterparties, silent disco, big screen cinema, happy hours, BBQ Chef Zone, tattoo shops, body & face painting, gems makeup,... and the hot bakery will be back to provide delicious, fresh breakfasts for the partygoers!

The fact that more than 25,000 tickets have already been sold proves that the Rampage-soldiers are really looking forward to it. So the organization is aiming for a new record edition and hopes to welcome some 60,000 festival-goers to Lommel from June 29 to July 2.

Tickets & info: www.rampageopenair.eu


"With more than 25,000 tickets already sold, we are solidly ahead of last year's ticket sales, and of course we hope that this positive trend continues. Our goal with Rampage has always been to bring drum 'n' bass to the masses. By always striving for the highest in terms of production and experience, and the fact that catalysts like TikTok and Instagram are helping to spread the genre widely among Gen Z'ers (Zoomers), we are increasingly succeeding in this mission."
- Hans Machiels, founder Rampage -


Sun will be shining, bass will be loud, and fun will be had!
