With releases on prestigious labels such as Liquicity, Shogun Audio, Galacy, Flexout, Dispatch Recordings and Fokuz Recordings, he has steadily established himself on the international scene. His music has won over audiences at major events including Tomorrowland, Rampage and Liquicity Festival, cementing his place as one of the genre’s most promising emerging artists. But his musical world extends beyond liquid drum & bass. Known for his lush atmospheres, shimmering arpeggios, expressive chords and touches of old-school funk, Hiraeth is also unafraid to explore heavier, more experimental territory when the opportunity arises. Following several EPs on Liquicity and Galacy, he released his debut album on Galacy Records in December 2022, receiving support from renowned artists such as Technimatic, LTJ Bukem, Etherwood and Riya. Backed by unwavering support from leading DJs and influencers, Hiraeth continues his meteoric rise. 2026 is set to be a pivotal year, with upcoming releases on prestigious new labels such as Five Alley, Dispatch and Soul In Motion, further confirming his status as an artist to watch closely. https://open.spotify.com/.../artist/0UVwpbhVw6uIeso94u6mYR ? si=4TjFX2xZQIKHjjMmU8VHEA BASSDUBBERS ► BassDubbers is a dynamic drum & bass DJ/producer duo active since 2013.

KAPAK ► Walter discovered drum & bass in high school, when he was discreetly handed the first compilations of this then-booming genre. A co-founder and veteran of the Hard Bass Dealers and Resistance collectives, Kapak has been a fixture on the French and European DnB scene for over fifteen years. He has proudly represented both collectives at some of Europe’s most prestigious festivals and clubs, including Berlin (Void Club), Bruxelles (Fuse), Pula (Outlook Festival) and Gand (Vooruit). KAPAK delivers minimal Drum & Bass in a dark, percussive style and is known for his precise mixes and mathematically seamless transitions. Since 2022, he has curated the From Rijsel With Love nights at Gare Saint Sauveur, where local and international artists share the stage. The event has established itself as the leading showcase for underground drum & bass in the Lille region, welcoming some of the scene’s most prestigious artists, including Skeptical, Dom & Roland, Gest and Wingz. On the production side, the artist is equally active, with his third solo EP scheduled for release in autumn 2026. KOD ► Kod enjoys beautiful sunsets accompanied by a caipirinha. Yet he chose the incredible playground known as "Drum'n Bass". Best known for his deep selections, he secretly has a soft spot for techstep. A member of HARD BASS DEALERS for 10 years, he represented the voice of dark, groovy DnB from Amsterdam to Paris, via Lille, Berlin and Outlook Festival. MC NICE ► Bart (to his friends) has truly made his mark among drum & bass and jungle MCs over the past 15 years. He has performed alongside the very best in continental DnB. His understated flow allows the nights he hosts to build gradually toward new heights. Mc Nice has notably performed during sets by Bad Company, Ed Rush & Optical, Sub Focus, Camo & crooked and Pendulum. It was time for Mc Nice to make his way to Gare Saint Sauveur for his first From Rijsel With Love.
