SLIPMATT
A man who needs little introduction. Rave legend, resident DJ at Raindance, chart hits as a member of SL2, to say that we’re excited to have Slipmatt at the Loco Klub is an understatement. He’ll be bringing a stack of ’93 and ’94 hardcore euphoria from the heyday of the hardcore / jungle crossover for a special extended set.

DJ SOYBOI
A Manchester based DJ and Producer who aims to provide your daily dose of protein through a healthy, nutritious mix of jungle, footwork and hardcore that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to throw shapes. Drawing as much inspiration from Chicago and Berlin as from the UK, DJ Soyboi's head-spinning blend of jungle, footwork, and 4x4 kicks is way ahead of the curve. The face behind CLUB60 on Balamii, DJ Soyboi knows their way around tunes that consistently break the legal speed limit.

Manchester's resident hot girl FKA Hardcore is known for many things, not least her incoherent social media presence and love for all things turbo. Whipping from IDM chuggers to 180 BPM jungletek without so much as a beatmatch in between, she's destined for the stars. Her recent Keep Hush was one of the platforms' most memorable sets ever, we can't wait to welcome her to WORKS with a special extended b2b with Soyboi.

NEW RESIDENTS
DROMEK
With his debut EP £50 Pints on Moon Rack racking up radio plays from Dead Man's Chest & Etch, DROMEK brings his own style of precise, syncopated and grainy 170BPM oddities to the party in a flurry of granular timestretch drumglizm, swooning lo-fi textures and deft loop choppage.

PORTWAY
Softcore label head honcho Portway is a genre defying chameleon: his output ranging from 100bpm chuggers to 170 tearout jungle. Fresh from a huge headline set at Area Code and racking up recent support from LCY, A.Fruit, Skream and more, Portway is certainly one to watch for the coming future.
