Purveyors of the finest sounds in bass, breaks and beats, Metropolis are back at massive Leeds venue, Stylus, on the 30th of the month with a line up that will bring you to your knees. Relentlessly serving up the biggest names in Drum&Bass, Dubstep, Hip Hop, Breaks and Electro, and having already blazed through the start of 2009 with unquestionable style, they present to you the mammoth, record breaking Valve Sound System…

Tearing the speakers apart on the night are the guys behind the system, Dillinja and Lemon D, who are joined by the unstoppable Chase and Status, true Drum&Bass legend, Hype and Radio One pioneer of the sound,Mary Anne Hobbs. Completing the line up are pirate radio regular, Youngsta and long time producer, Lynx, there’s really only one way this night can go…

An unprecedented platform for the Drum and Bass sound, the Valve Sound System is specifically designed to kick out noise only ever previously dreamed of. The brainchild of major Drum and Bass stars, Dillinja and Lemon D, who’s careers span over 15 years involving endless parties, tours and productions, the set up is now world famous in the scene and provides a Drum&Bass experience that doesn’t let up.

Chase and Status, currently the only name on every lips in the Dubstep scene thanks to their massive success with single ‘Against All Odds’ ft. Kano, are once again dropping by to work the crowd up with their faultless Dubstep offerings. Gaining 3 number ones in the dance chart and endless backing from the biggest figures in the industry, they are smashing through the ranks at unstoppable speed.

One of the Drum and Bass scene’s most prolific artists, DJ Hype, has been a key figure in the expansion and development of the genre after 20 years in the industry. Not only a DJ and producer, he also hosts a show on Kiss FM, runs his own record label, Ganja, and is one of the most famous players in the global dance scene. A true D&B legend, there’s nothing this guy doesn’t know about beats and bass.

Mary Anne Hobbs is a true Dubstep warrior. Pushing the sound on her Radio One show, ‘Dubstep Warz’, she’s regarded as a key presence in the global Dubstep genre. After releasing a compilation last year, and further involvement with Radio One shows as well as various festivals, Mary Anne is rising through the ranks to become on of the most important figures in the scene today.

With an incredible energy and precision behind the decks, Youngsta is breaking onto the scene with formidable force. DJing from the age of 12, and making regular appearances on Rinse FM, his sound merges genres and switches vibes at hyperspeed. With a true understanding and passion for the scene, it won’t be long before Youngsta is tearing past the biggest dub stars…

Although relatively new to the mix, DJ Lynx has been kicking out incredible productions for years and his dedication in the studio is apparent in the skill and maturity of his frankly immense tracks. Already touted as the next big thing by Fabio and Grooverider, and having already made his Fabric debut, things are set to go sky high for Lynx this year, and all signs point to an incredible set at Metropolis.

Doubtlessly one of the biggest line ups this side of summer, this is going to be an eclectic eardrum busting affair with tireless bass, breaks and volume, expect to be rocking hard ‘til the bitter end for this one.
