The Playground is proud to present supergroup PENDULUM playing a rare DJ set alongside MC VERSE. Join us for a sensational night of Drum & Bass at ELECTRIC BRIXTON, hosts to such heavyweights like Renegade Hardware, Congo Natty, Wilkinson and Spearhead Records! Watch this space for imminent updates as more artists are to be announced!

► PENDULUM - The Drum & Bass supergroup behind hits like ‘Tarantula,’ ‘Blood Sugar’ and ‘The Vault.’ Formed in Perth in 2002 when producers Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen joined forces with acclaimed local DJ Paul ‘El Hornet’ Harding. Pendulum’s goal was to combine their influences and create a new sound that they felt was missing from Dance music. The PENDULUM sound comprises of heavy beats accompanied by low, buzzing bass lines, overlaid with synthesized leads.
In 2003 they released ‘The Vault,’ though the highly respected 31 Records. The track received wide acclaim in the scene, being crowned Knowledge Magazine’s ‘Best Track Of The Year’ and being played by almost every DJ. In 2005 they released their debut album, ‘Hold Your Colour.’ Critically, the album was well-received in both the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, it was one of the biggest selling Drum and Bass releases of all time. ‘Immersion’ was released on 24th May 2010, entering the UK album charts at #1 at the end of that week.
Two heavyweight DJs that have supported the PENDULUM sound ever since its creation were the legendary ADAM F and the renowned DJ FRESH who asked PENDULUM to join their BREAKBEAT KAOS label in order to form a tight crew of like minded musicians. Through this label PENDULUM released the epic 'Another Planet' backed with 'Voyager.' The single exceeded any prior expectations making its debut at #1 in the UK’s National Dance Chart and Top 40 in the mainstream chart.

►Roni Size - No stranger to the Drum & Bass scene. Having released some of the finest tracks on staple labels like V Recordings, Philly Blunt, Full Cycle and Breakbeat Kaos, he’s firmly set his place as one of the scene’s household names. Size’s influence as a producer, label owner, and committed underground magnate figured him as one of the emerging sound’s true pioneers. The breakout success of his debut album New Forms finally confirmed his stature and vaulted him to a greater degree of popularity than any Drum & Bass producer.
Roni Size will be performing an exclusive DJ Set, plating through 18 years of Jungle and Drum & Bass. From 96 and the birth of his New Forms album, through unreleased Dubs & Jungle classics, right up to D&B today. A journey of 18 years in one dj set.
“18 years! It only seems like yesterday that I was in the studio rolling out as many tunes as I could before heading down the motorway to London and the world famous cutting room music house. I'd cut as many tunes as possible from the Full Cycle, Dope Dragon & V-Records camp, then get back on the road for two or three shows in a night. With the one and only Dynamite MC alongside, we'd drop some of the sounds that kicked off my love affair with jungle and drum and bass. 1996 was the year it blew up and now is the time to show what I have learned in this time.
Unreleased dubs; ready. Classics; ready. All the way to the present day, this truly is a FULL CYCLE.”
