NORGBASS SESSIONS is proud to host an exclusive night of world-class Drum & Bass on Oslo’s most unique venue — the floating club MS Bjørvika. This isn’t just another night out; it’s a sonic voyage across the Oslo fjord with legends and local heroes pushing the boundaries of underground sound.
Headlining the event is OPTICAL, the co-founder of VIRUS RECORDINGS and one of the true architects of modern neurofunk. With a career spanning over two decades, Optical’s productions have shaped the darker, technical edge of Drum & Bass, influencing generations of producers and ravers alike.
Joining him is long-time collaborator and Brazilian powerhouse BTK, known for his precision engineering, razor-tight production, and uncompromising energy behind the decks. Expect relentless Virus-style rollers, fierce basslines, and that unmistakable chemistry between two of the genre’s most respected names.
Completing the frontline, the relentless MC Tempo — known for his precision lyricism, high-octane freestyles, and ability to ignite any crowd — brings a live energy few can match. Together, they deliver a headline performance that bridges classic Virus energy with today’s cutting-edge underground.
Backing the headliners is a powerhouse support lineup that celebrates both the depth of the local scene and its growing international reach:
MIRA MARK - A veteran DJ with many years behind the decks, Mira Mark has become a cornerstone of Oslo’s underground, known for her deep selections, tight blends, and raw energy that always lifts the room.
PATS NICHOLS - One of Norway’s most respected rappers and MCs, bringing his own lyrical fire and stage presence to connect with both the DnB and hip-hop crowds.
KARYON - Traveling in from Sweden, Karyon represents the new wave of cross-border collaboration. His sets fuse the intensity of Swedish Drum & Bass with a fresh melodic touch - symbolizing Norgbass Sessions mission to open the Norwegian scene to international talent.
This is the next chapter for Norgbass Sessions - uniting Norway’s underground with world-class artists, homegrown energy, and international collaboration.
