[highlight]ARMANNI REIGN[/highlight]

The host of the Ram Records North American tour stopping at Lucky 2015, Armanni Reign is a legendary MC that the Northwest is lucky to have the opportunity to see twice within the last year. Reign joined Andy C and the lengthy list of Drum & Bass acts at Paradiso 2014 last summer. His Northwest impact was felt on the production side last year as well, as he was featured as the vocals in Seattle-based Eliminate’s Karate Kid. His work live is as impressive as his long list of top notch productions. The bass stage will be getting a heavy dose of Armanni Reign, a reason as good as any to make it your home come Lucky 2015.

[highlight]DELTA HEAVY[/highlight]

Headliners of the Ram Records North American tour, Delta Heavy has been doing more than just getting by since their inception in 2009. London-based duo Ben Hall and Simon James have been helping drum & bass infiltrate stages and airwaves meant for more mainstream music for years. Their smash hit Get By put them on the map, and their production quality only ever seems to improve. Another Lucky 2013 artist making their Lucky return, Delta Heavy also performed at FreakNight 2013, and again in Seattle shortly afterward in December of 2013 at Foundation Nightclub. It’s been a while since their last Northwest show, and Delta Heavy is s ‘must-see’ for the DnB heads attending Lucky 2015.

[highlight]LOADSTAR[/highlight]

Another member of the Ram Records tour, Loadstar make their third Northwest stop in the last two years, as the duo performed at both Paradiso 2013 and Lucky 2014. Gavin Harris and Nick Hill began their career as solo artists and started working together as Loadstar in 2010, after meeting while working with Ram Records, thanks in large part to label boss Andy C. Formerly known as Xample and Lomax, Loadstar is based out of Bristol, UK and are major players in the drum & bass scene both in Europe and abroad.

[highlight]OPTICAL[/highlight]

DJ Optical, known for his work with Ed Rush, has been featuring at Northwest (and global) massives for years. Releasing his first single in 1997, Optical (also known as Matt Quinn) has been involved in ‘EDM’ since the late 1980s. The London-based artist is taking part in the Ram Records tour and will be making his third stop in Seattle in the last two years. Optical, the owner of Virus Recordings, also performed at Lucky 2013 and at Foundation Nightclub in August of 2014.

[highlight]TC[/highlight]

TC is one of our personal favorites, and one of the drum & bass acts we’re most excited for at Lucky 2015. The Bristol, UK-native is featuring on the Ram Records tour and is a great follow over on his site, on which he publishes blog posts on regularly. Getting connected with artists and the evolution of technology are important aspects of dance music, and TC is an artist embracing that mindset in every way. He released what we think is one of his best works to date in The Countdown EP a couple months ago, setting the stage for what is bound to be a breakout year in 2015.
