DMNW’s Must-See Performances of Rifflandia 2016

13. Akela & Tedder

The brains behind the monthly Future Soul nights at the Copper Owl, Akela & Tedder play a pivotal part in keeping the drum & bass scene alive and kicking in Victoria. The talented duo doesn’t limit themselves to just one genre however, so check them out for a variety of bass music that will leave you feeling all warm & fuzzy inside.

When & Where: Friday, Wolf/Sheep @ 9:30pm

12. Bryx

A RedBull 3style winner, Bryx mastered his craft in the small Kootenay town of Nelson before moving to Victoria in 2015. A constant player in the west coast bass scene, Bryx’s in depth knowledge of all things hip-hop plays nicely into his style, full of ferocious cuts and original remixes. With Bryx on the ones and twos, you can expect anything, at anytime.

When & Where: Thursday, Wolf/Sheep @ 12:30am

11. Dunks

Drawing on inspirations from turntablisim and all things vinyl, including hip-hop, funk, and soul, Dunks is well versed in his craft. You may know Duncan Smith as one half of the Funk Hunters, who recently pranked Burning Man with their Daft Punk appearance, but the multimedia guru of the funky duo will definitely be bringing his own unique flavor to the tables!

When & Where: Friday, Lucky Bar @ 12:30am
