Relentless and Nass have team up and managed to snatch up Drum and Bass pioneers Chase and Status to their Friday Night line up. So be prepared to be hit with the power of bass in the face.

Manchester legends Doves recorded new material last weekend with one of the UK’s most talked about upcoming producer, Keir Stewart at the Recording Studio in Manchester.

Stewart said: They were joined by a Northern choir group led by vocal genius “Tindale” who stepped in & spread some soulful choral garnish over a new Doves project. Session started off quiet and civilized, and ended with the whole band, engineers & management being serenaded by the 20+ strong choir. They belted out an amazing version of “Oh Happy Day” at the end of the session with Tindale doing some amazing piano accompaniment. The night ended with an amazingly brave round of drinks bought by the band for ALL the singers involved.

New album “Kingdom of Rust” is released on 6th of April.
