KEITH MACKENZIE (USA/ILL:ELEVEN)
Illeven:Eleven Recordings label boss Keith MacKenzie's contributions to breakbeat can't be overstated. After honing his skills as a DJ in the 90's Florida scene alongside luminaries like DJ Icey, DJ Fixx and Infiniti, Keith's move into the label game sought to combine his various influences under one roof. Although the primary focus has been bass-driven breaks music, the label built a reputation for releasing quality collaborations from artists working across electronic genres, quickly making it a Beatport favorite. Besides his own productions with DJ Fixx (as KMFX), the ever-growing list of releases have included music from producers like Calvertron, Deekline & Ed Solo, Hatiras, Bass Kleph and Gigi Barocco. In the last year, Keith has smashed dancefloors around the world pushing his potent formula of party-rocking breaks to new heights. Now it's our turn.

KILL PARIS (USA/OWSLA)
When playing Kill Paris, people please proceed with caution, this is dangerously sexy music. Safety is important, so we are warning that when listening to Corey Baker's self-titled 'Pantydrop-Step' or 'Baby-Making Music' you are in serious risk of getting turned on. Be advised. Signed to OWSLA, Kill Paris has been slamming the releases since 2011, and officially remixed Rudimental, Bassnectar, Flux Pavilion, Kill The Noise, Monsta (with Dillon Francis) and Far East Movement. His sound moves from melodic bass melodies to funk and glitch - aka Future Funk. His second EP, Foreplay (2014) struck soulful funk gold.
Get ready to go diggin'!

KOAN SOUND + CULPRATE (UK/OWSLA/Inspected)
It was in 2008 that KOAN Sound emerged from the ashes of several other musical endeavours, fusing passion for electronic music with sheer musical intuition. Since then KOAN Sound have continued to develop, synthesising ever more complex and inspirational patterns. And with influences such as The Prodigy, Amon Tobin and Noisia, it's not hard to see why KOAN Sound productions are synonymous with dark gripping basslines; elegantly mastered and meticulously executed.
The group's creative and above all original ethos has granted them well-deserved credibility from producers, DJ and music fans alike. These include Aphex Twin, Pendulum, Zane Lowe and Rusko. Armed with a creative diversity second to none, they have set themselves apart from their peers and continue to push music not restrained by tempo or genre, all connected by their trademark 'KOAN' sound.
Keep your ears to the ground: KOAN Sound have arrived, joined by constant killer collaborator, Culprate.
