Antony Williams aka Addison Groove started out life under a different pseudonym altogether, that of Headhunter, under which he achieved legendary status within the dubstep scene. With an LP and 12” releases

on the influential Tempa label stretching back to 2007, his work at the deeper end of the dubstep spectrum has graced the label an impressive 7 times, a figure matched only by luminaries such as Skream

& Horsepower Productions. This work looked set to continue until 2010 when, seemingly out of nowhere, he crafted one of the biggest bass music tracks of the decade, ‘Footcrab’, under the new name of Addison

Groove.

 

The response to ‘Footcrab’ was phenomenal, receiving critical and commercial success in equal measure across the dance music scene. Getting plays not only from the dubstep DJs that Williams was used to

reaching, it also found its way into the record boxes of techno and house heavyweights such as Surgeon, Ricardo Villalobos and Mr Scruff, bringing an enormous new audience to his music in the process. Taking

influences from the Chicago ghetto tek and juke scenes, Addison Groove’s impact on UK bass music has been colossal and unprecedented, sparking a huge interest in these styles from his peers and the listening public alike.

 

Progressing at a breakneck pace, he was quick to develop a live 808 show which has graced some of the finest nightclubs in the world including Fabric, London and Berlin’s infamous Berghain. With his hectic touring schedule including USA, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and numerous dates in Europe, he continues to bring his hybrid sound to captivated audiences across the globe.

 

Thefft is causing a bit of a stir at the moment, and it seems, for good reason. His lower-tempo, rhythmic creations are stuffed with percussive snaps and clicks designed to move the dancefloor, while his production intricacies command a closer listen on headphones.

 

Arguably the best of both worlds, there's enough weight and groove from Jack's "The Primer EP" to move you in a dark sweaty room, but there's equally ample sound to hold your attention as you ride your daily commute.

 

Thefft has already seen support for his work from Zed Bias, Loefah, Oneman, Distal, Damu and more.

 

In the Live room it’s SHUFFLE FLOORFILLERS bringing its Saturday night magic into the venue for more weekend escapism. LJ Freeman and Tommy Lee need no introduction - at Shuffle they will be dropping the biggest dance anthems selected from the best years of your life, mashed up to your favorite anthems of now.....

 

Dizzee meets Rhianna, LMFAO rubs up to David Guetta, Darude gets Insomnia, whilst Calvin Harris and Example break down into Nero and the Katy B.

 

In earth we have the sexy grooves of RnB sessions with Lee Da Truth Smith, expect evertything from the old school vibes of Black Street and R Kelly to modern day grooves from Labyrinth, Gyptian, Nicki Minaj and Wiz Khalifa
