Solent Stage are chuffed that our first headliners are the bombastic pairing of D-Ranged and Rektchordz going head to head in a full frenzy breaks battle.
D-Ranged is 27-year-old Cornish producer Benjamin Smithson who drew inspiration from the nu skool breaks scene at the turn of K2. Since then he's dropped some classic tunes that have torn up breaks headz the world over. Following a brief foray into techno, house and hip hop last year he has returned to his first love and is back with the beaks, and after seeing Rusko's inspirational set at Glade last year, is even turning his hand to dubstep.
Rektchordz is fellow Cornishman, 23-year-old Jamie Smithson who's catalogue of tech-funk bangers has already provided him with an International pedigree. Championed by DJ Annie Nightingale (whose always known a good tune), Rektchordz has continually defoed simple genre definition by pushing at the boundaries. The only constants are the funk… and the fury.
