Breakage: Playing this gig as part of his Foundation album launch tour (Out soon on Digital Soundboy release date 15.03.10) He’s got loads of big tunes under his belt already, and hotly tipped for big things in 2010. Roots Manuva says “Breakage is a man with an ear for deep, deep, sub-sonic frequencies. He goes in low. I think he's talking to sea-life. He's talking to the squid” .

Untold: Hemlock boss Untold is making some of the most original dubstep around at the moment, his production style made serious waves in the scene in 2009, making him one of the most foward thinking acts of this year.
