Headlining are the fittingly titled Black Sun Empire. The Dutch trio, made up of Rene Verdult and brothers Milan and Micha Heyboer, primarily concerned themselves with the neurofunk side of drum’n’bass, creating masterpieces like ‘Arrakis’ with its creepy church bell percussion and apocalyptic drop. Since then they’ve moved towards dubstep with the release of ‘Hyper Sun’, but their tunes still retain the startling breadth of atmospherics inherent in their sound previously. In perfect support is the UK’s own darkstep lord, Optical.
