Admission is $10 all night. Warming things up are Basixx and a tag team of Seraph, Destin and Royce. Sharpness and Rare B-Ki are on mic control.
Tonight, the Legends of Drum and Bass series presents Twisted Individual at Medusa! Direct from London, Twisted Individual burst onto the scene in 1998 with his roller Wales. He followed that up with a massive remix of label honcho DJ SS’ Lighter, his own production The F Word and a remix of Blackstreet into Street Knowledge. If you’re a fan of the old school heavy rollers and drum and bass in general, I would highly recommend this. Plus, it’s only $5. Serious business tonight!

The brothers JrDeep & Guilherme Lopez have been often imitated but NEVER duplicated. Their unique approach to combining samba, dance floor funk, and a very healthy dose of BASS has guaranteed regular airplay from Gilles Peterson, Dj Marky, Bryan Gee, Patife, and all other A-list djs who need a proper injection of original latin flavor. With over 60 international releases including appearances on the “City of God” Film Soundtrack and EA Games Fifa street, you will be familiar with their sound…But seeing them live is a whole other experience! With their forthcoming “Dance Box” lp on the way….you do not want to miss this rare opportunity to witness some true DnB pioneers!Z
For an idea of what to expect check out this live mix from February.
