The Playground Presents… Datsik At KOKO

The Playground presents… a night of Electro, Dubstep and Drum n Bass with some of the hottest producers working on the darker side of electronic music for one night only at Camden’s infamous KOKO on Saturday 14th July.

Headlining, in a rare UK appearance, is Dubstep heavyweight Datsik with support from: Modestep, High Rankin, Dismantle, The Prototypes and the UK debut appearance from DirtyLoud.

Fresh from releasing his debut album Vitamin D on Dim Mak Records, Datsik plays his only UK summer event of 2012. The album has been met with great acclaim, with legendary producer and founder of DIM MAK Records, Steve Aoki claiming to be “blown away” by the album. Having fused Dubstep with Electro and DnB, Datsik provides a dark and groundbreaking example of the sound. At the young age of just 24, it is fair to say there is plenty more to expect from this producer as the genre progresses further.

Datsik has recently remixed tracks from the likes of Kaskade and Skrillex  as well as collaborating with DJ Fresh and Dizee Rascal for a remix on new hit-single ‘The Power’ for the Ministry Of Sound label.

Fresh from a tour with Welsh rockers Lostprophets, festival favourites Modestep will also be performing. Considered as Dubstep’s answer to Pendulum, Modestep combine sickening bass drops with shredding guitar hooks to make them one of 2012 loudest new artists. Expect a DJ set full of some of the hardest bass music around with all the hallmarks of Modestep live show.

High Rankin will be performing a live set with his band, providing another twist on the already diverse night of music. His ground breaking approach to dubstep has seen him smashing out singles on his own label Suicide Dub since 2008 and he has recently attracted the attention of Ministry of Sound, working on ‘The Sound of Dubstep’ Volumes 2&3. We are very excited to have this legend in the game on the bill.

With all these amazing acts lined up with Playground Presents, Saturday is sure to be a night for you Dubstep heads out there, so make sure you get your ticket now!

Doors open at 8pm and tickets are on sale now.
