ENEI AND JAKES

DAY PARTY 

Fuzen & The Liquid Lowdown are proud to present an International double header on this Matariki long weekend

Joining us for this epic day party at the iconic Sweat Shop Brew kitchen, we have two of the biggest acts in Drum & Bass at the top of their game - Enei & Jakes,representing the sounds of Critical Music.

We are excited to see a more soulful, daytime set from our world class headliners, which definitely doesn’t come around often!

ENEI

Hailing from St. Petersburg in Russia it was way back in 2003 that a young Alexey Egorchenkov first got the taste for the musical drug - Drum & Bass.

Like many others before him he became hooked, dabbling with his own production and DJing soon after. Taking the artist name Enei, his career began to blossom giving him star status in his beloved Russia, but it wasn’t until 2007 that things really began to escalate.

During this year Enei earned his first official release on the Dutch label Fokuz, but it was the first of many - as others began to drop on other imprints such as Blu Saphir, Cyanide and Citrus, throughout 2008 and 2009.
Whilst his production and profile began to take shape, a certain eagle-eyed label boss renowned for his supreme A&R’ing, was keeping close tabs on him. It wasn’t long before the phone call was made, and Kasra secured the first Enei release for Critical Music at the end of 2010. The rest, as they say, is history.

Releasing the Andy C favorite ‘Cracker’, ‘One Chance’ and the much lauded ‘Stone Head EP’, Enei’s Critical discography is relatively short, but seeing the sheer talent within - Kasra signed him exclusively for the label in 2011. It was Enei’s biggest year and to top it off he came away with the ‘Best Newcomer Producer’ award at the end of year Drum & Bass Arena Awards.

Things are only getting better for Russia’s number 1 producer/DJ. His debut album ‘Humans’ has received critical acclaim while a slew of remix work continues to pour in. His music is supported by Goldie, London Elektricity, Bailey, DJ Hype, Andy C, Kasra and many more.

JAKES

Jakes is many things to many people. To some, he is the voice of TC’s smash hits ‘Deep’, ‘Drink’ and ‘Mindkiller’. To others, he is the Daddy of Bristolian Dubstep crew H.E.N.C.H, and to musical historians he is one of the most interesting vocalists that underground British music can lay claim to.

Never afraid to break from tradition and roll with his own flow, Jake's voice has become one of the most recognizable in the game and his energetic live performances see him traveling across the globe and smacking down raves from Bristol to Boston with his inimitable style.

Also on this Friday day time show, we will be joined by Chiccoreli (Fokuz, Space Cadet), L’amour (Liquid Lowdown) & Rhyas. (Liquid Lowdown)
