This New Year’s Eve complementing the deeper musical journey presented by Swamp81 & Numbers, in the other room we have one of the most respected DJs and producers in the game on one our our thunderous Funktion 1 systems! The Urban Nerds & BassLaced favourite Zinc returns!
The Bingo Beats boss, Rinse FM resident and all-round bass brain has become known for his unique house hybrid, an amalgamation of deep and funky led beats infused with dark jungle and dubstep influenced basslines, blended with tremendous vigour on club anthems like ‘Blunt Edge’, ‘Nu Sound’ and the massive Ms Dynamite collaboration, ‘Wile Out’. With DJ bookings across the globe, a seminal BBC Radio 1 Essential mix and a truly epic back catalogue that includes UK Garage crossover and scene defining smash, ’138 Trek’, his huge early contributions to the jungle and D&B scenes plus the never ending ability to second guess the next big sound in dance and re-invent whole genres ahead of anyone else make Zinc a truly special selector.
Zinc is just about to drop his anticipated ‘Sprung EP’ one to warm up winter by smashing clubland with a follow up to the unstoppable Crack House sound! Juicy Fruit rides off a straight-up house backbone, but carries itself with the sort of swagger London dance music has always been known for. Recovered and Sprung carry on Zinc’s tradition of splicing together fragments of different genres to create deadly hybrids. This is high-energy, electro, dubstep and bass infused house, gelling Zinc’s jungle and D&B routes with the epic quality of the upfront dance sound he’s become known for of late.
To celebrate the release and his headline set at Urban Nerds x BassLaced NYE, Zinc’s dropped us a very special, exclusive mix of quick fire dancefloor bangers! It’s been a while since he’s hit the world with one of his acclaimed mixes, so we’re privileged to bring you 30 minutes of goodness, featuring drops from the forthcoming Sprung EP alongside some big room, bass driven dancefloor fillers! Get your download on and get set for the biggest underground New Year’s Eve explosion in London this year!
Catch Zinc alongside Redlight, Subscape, Mensah, Rattus Rattus, Klose One, Dismantle and Jack Swift at Urban Nerds x BassLaced NYE with a very special showcase from Swamp81 VS Numbers including Loefah and Jackmaster b2b Oneman!
