DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH / DJ STORM

Function:al @ Kongs, Cardiff. Sat 4 May

Drum’n’bass nights in Kongs always go down a treat, where in May the variety on offer makes for a killer line up. With the merger of Function Records and Cardiff based Paranoize, Function:al proves to be a fierce night nationally, where the event aims to celebrate versatility in the scene.

Heading the bill is Drumsound & Bassline Smith, whose riotous beats have been a crucial force in the international dnb circuit. Also in the dance is none other than Storm [pictured]. Now a heavyweight of bass, Strom has graced stages for years and garnered a reputation for mixing old-skool classics while flipping a modern twist into the night. She has been labelled the First Lady of d’n’b’, and attendees’ll certainly be in the presence of DJ nobility.

Paranoize residents Digital, Blackeye MC, Ransom Deejay and Lubi J will also be turning the night into a frenzy. Hosting the night, alongside Blackeye, is Cardiff’s formidable Missy G. Being a founding member of the Ladies Of Rage collective, Missy G embodies what it takes to front a rave with flawless skills.
