LINEUP: A mix of OGs who shaped the last 17 years of RUBBADUBDUB!

4Sight (Element Sound / RUBBADUBDUB) As the owner of Element Sound and a long-standing fixture in the Southwest underground bass scene, 4Sight knows exactly how to push the rigs. While known for playing predominantly heavy-hitting neuro DnB, you can expect a full, dynamic journey through various drum & bass and jungle styles, perfectly tailored to shake his very own Element Soundsystem.

Krausey x B.Rad x Vipzz (Radicalvipzz) As one of the original creators of RUBBADUBDUB, Krausey - alongside La Luka - was instrumental in making it one of the biggest bass music events in the South West. During the initial dubstep explosion, they helped push the sound internationally, taking UK bass to Los Angeles and influencing crowds and producers across the US. For this monumental closing party, Krausey is teaming up with Rad and Vipzz (Radicalvipzz) to deliver a massive, nostalgic session of classic dubstep and current 140 belters that will take the 61 Bar right back to its golden era.

HERATIKS (Radio 1 & Kisstory Support / dt weapons / Nuhope Entertainment) Pronounced 'heretics', this Southwest UK-based DJ and producer duo consists of Justin Krause (Krausey) and James Wiggans. They specialise in crafting high-energy tech, bass, and deep house designed specifically to get the global dancefloor moving. Their debut original track, 'Drop Tha Spot', landed on Data Transmission's 'dt weapons' imprint, hit the Traxsource Tech Charts, and was crowned 'Sound of the Weekend' by BBC Introducing.

Since then, they have been pulling in heavy support and radio plays across BBC Radio 1, Radio 1 Dance, and Kisstory-even dropping a specially requested 10-minute minimix for BBC Introducing just last week! Backed by heavyweights like Fatboy Slim and Joris Voorn, their recent output has been massive. Following a bumping tech-house remix of The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue, their official remix of the 90s classic 'Read My Lips' by Alex Party smashed into the Top 10 Bass House releases on Beatport and the Top 20 on the Official Music Week charts. Expect them to switch things up for this closing party with a heavier set leaning right into the bass house and speed garage end of the spectrum.

Hit The Road Jack (Mammoth Sound) Representing Mammoth Sound, Hit The Road Jack is no stranger to heavy-hitting bass events. Known for their history of putting on massive, high-energy clashes, the Mammoth Sound crew always brings the heat. For this final shakedown, expect Hit The Road Jack to step up to the decks with system-shaking selections packed with heavy 140 and breaks to keep the dancefloor moving.

Flashtafari (Imperial Voice / Irie HiFi) Representing Imperial Voice and Irie HiFi, Flashtafari is deeply rooted in proper sound system culture. As a key part of the Bruton Dub Club soundcrew and a regular broadcaster across multiple stations-including Imperial Voice Radio, IRIE HIFI, Love Summer Radio, and the Roots Step Radio Show-he is guaranteed to bring elite reggae and dub vibes to the 61 Bar.

Ordinary Joe (West Coast Radio Blackpool / Imperial Voice / Irie HiFi) Representing West Coast Radio Blackpool, Imperial Voice, and Irie HiFi, Ordinary Joe is travelling down to bring authentic sound system culture and heavy dub and reggae influences to the final 61 Bar & Venue shakedown.

CJ Our previous RUBBADUBDUB Comp Winner (2024) is back to take the roof off one last time! Alongside wins at Nu Bass Generation, Dubz Audio, and Next Hype, CJ has been honing his craft since 2005. Armed with over 12 years of turntable skills, deep musical knowledge, smooth transitions, and absolutely savage drops, you're in for a treat. Having fallen into the DnB pit around 2013, CJ holds a growing addiction to the jump up and jungle side of the 170+ spectrum. Expect a set packed with the dirtiest drum & bass, spanning from fresh new releases to absolute classic belters!
