Drum & Bass | Jungle | Footwork | Halftime | Turbo
A focused night built for heads who remember. Reinforced drums, sublow chaos, chopped breaks, basslines shaped for impact. Jungle, DnB, halftime, and adjacent pressure systems in full effect. Movement music engineered for intensity. Expect nothing less than full-bodied sonic warfare: rewinds, stabs, fractures, saturation. Signal sounds in closed circuit.
This is not a nostalgia night. This is forward motion. This is FIRE.

🔊 J.F. KILLAH
With a love for the underground and an affinity for deep, dark, grimy basslines, J.F.Killah has a passion for engaging dance floors worldwide. She has graced the decks in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, United States, Central America, and performed at several festivals including Shambhala, Bass Coast, Electric Love, Rifflandia, Wicked Woods & Song n Surf. As a member of SHAHdjs and DnB Girls, her junglist roots play a key role in her sets but expect a variety of genres depending on the time and place. On the decks since 2005, she has acquired an arsenal of beats and is armed to destroy any dance floor. With classical training on the keys and in music theory, she is able to utilize her understanding of key, emotion, and the power of sound to deliver musically dynamic and powerful performances. Get ready for murdah because the Killah slays it every time!

E) AIRSPACE SECURITY WARNING ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF SHELLINGS
It has come to the attention of multiple international authorities that the DJ entity known as Roadman & General Aviation (also known under alias’ Rhythmicon, Space Tiger) poses a significant risk to public order, structural integrity, and the stability of conventional airspace.
The pair are certified heavyweight navigators on the decks, longstanding champions of drum & bass and jungle whose credentials are recognized across both metropolitan and aeronautical domains.
Individuals on the dancefloor of a Roadman & General Aviation event are advised to secure loose belongings and prepare for extreme atmospheric disturbances of the sonic variety. Attendance at their sets is undertaken at one's own risk. No liability is accepted for raised heartbeats, increased sweating, or the irreversible urge to reload.

🔊 SPOON
In 2005 a war cry sounded that shook the very bedrock on which Vancouver Island sits. “SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!” Was the roar, and it brought forth a prodigy of broken beat blends. Like a Shaolin monk in his mastery of technicality and calm commanding presence, Spoon weaves journeys on which to get lost on the dancefloor.
A deep love of hip hop and the fine art of the broken beat peeks through in all Spoon’s sets, From Liquid smooth Drum & Bass, to Jungle, Breaks and beyond. A festival favorite, Spoon has held his own on decks up and down the island, and as far as Burning Man. From club residencies, including the wildly popular Hush Nightclub in Victoria BC, to the forest dancefloors of beautiful British Columbia festivals, Spoon has cemented his place as a veteran of Vancouver Island night life.
Now working with V.E.M.C. (Victoria Electronic Music Collective) and its partner Thirrrsty Bar, Spoon is helping to create spaces designed to wonder crowds and transport them to another world. So, the next time you see Spoon on a bill don’t skip finding your space on the floor and drifting away on an auditory voyage through your mind. Go on, get meta with him.
