Boomtick's midyear mini-fest is back - it's broken, it's beat, it's BASS. You feel us?

MAJOR BASS
featuring:
LADY WAKS
CRNKN
SLYNK
and for the first time at Villa, the MINOR BASS SILENT DISCO with an all-star Boomtick cast!

LADY WAKS
Stand and salute - the first lady of broken beat is BAAAAAACK!
She stole the show at Breakfest (proving that breakbeat is breathing), Lady Waks is the best thing to come out of Russia since Smirnoff. Kick starting her career as a Hip-Hop radio show host, Lady Waks was the driving force behind the Russian breakbeat massive 'In Beats We Trust' (voted best club night by TimeOut Magazine). She's also responsible for Breaks Arena - one of Europe's biggest breakbeat only festivals. Lady Waks is a one woman industry: promoter, producer (Best Producer, Breakspoll 2013), DJ.
Is there nothing this diminutive powerhouse can't do? She goin' rock yo' world.

CRNKN
From dubstep wunderkind to pioneer of the trap movement, 20-year old CRNKN from New Hampshire has exploded onto the electronic scene. He has garnered support from major artists including Flosstradamus, Baauer, UZ, Crizzly, The Killabits, Adventure Club, and many more. With hundreds of thousands of plays on his Soundcloud and constant touring around playing the most prestigious venues and shows, CRNKN is poised to have a breakout year in 2013. Stay Tuned!

SLYNK
Slynk's reputation stems from his inventory of unreleased and unsigned party style ghetto funk bootlegs, remixes and edits. His work is highly sought after by DJs around the world while his forward momentum knows no boundaries, releasing more tracks with Jalapeno Records Goodgroove, Manmade, Breakbeat Paradise, Roca Records, Bombstrikes and Discocakes.

The opportunity to see three acts of this calibre, supported by the best of the Boomtick bass elite, in one room on one night is rare-as-hell.
