About this Event

YES BRISTOL!!!!

Welcome to the LONG awaited STATE OF EMERGENCY RE-LAUNCH! It's been two very long years since our last night of musical mayhem, packing out the mucky duck with truckloads of naughty speakers and hordes of revellers, so we have something EXTRA special planned to help remind you of the way we do things ;)



Showcasing a wide range of underground genres from Drum&Bass/ Neurofunk & Jungle to Hardtek, Jungle/Raggatek, Electro, Garage, Bassline & even Live Clowncore, all stops have been pulled out to provide you a selection of the sickest DJs from all over the UK and beyond, with by FAR our biggest headliner lineup to date!



Catering for all music tastes, expect stunning intelligent lighting, chest pounding stacks of state of the art pro audio sound equipment, full decor throughout and a vast array of artists, performers, dancing girls & photo/videographers. We have gone all out to ensure this is a completely unforgettable event, making up for lost time and celebrating our big return onto the Bristol music scene with a BANG!



You should ALL know what to expect by now. Put the date in your diary's... This will be unmissable.

Optiv's (Switzerland) releases have been on practically every label at the upper reaches of d&b (think Virus, Shogun, Renegade Hardware, Playaz, as well of course as C4C Recordings), and, in the various guises in which he has recorded, have touched the four corners of the globe in terms of both production and DJing. His critically acclaimed work with BTK over the past couple of years was the result of a serious amount of collaboration, and included the spectacular Dirty Tricks LP on Virus. From the punch of the snare, to the boom of the bass, Optiv has it all covered!

BTK's music has found homes far and wide, with appearances on Renegade Hardware, Shogun Audio, Playaz, Dispatch and V Records, to name only a few. He has played at some of the biggest events on the planet, not only in his native Brazil and his adopted Europe, but North America, Australia, you name it, BTK has played it. He brings an energy and passion to his shows, consistently giving the crowd what it wants, and more. BTK has worked with the leading names in the drum & bass world. He's shown his knowledge of, and dedication to, the scene. His future is bright, with the new LP already gathering buzz ahead of its release.
