Duo The Plump DJ’s production talents have left an echo of ferocity in the Nu-Skool Breaks genre and are expected to take the B-LIVE area by storm.
Representing in one of the five unique arenas will be twisted house’s pioneer Steve Lawler who started out rocking the M45 with 90s raves, with over 18 years in Ibiza including Space residency, Lawler is back in his home town.
