Info
On October 16, 2026, Elevate Records celebrates its 10th anniversary at The Steel Yard in London with a night built around the label’s straight-to-the-floor vision of drum & bass. At the center of it all: Friction, the DJ and producer behind Elevate, known for sharp selections, tight transitions, and a way of moving from liquid textures to darker pressure and back into peak-time drive without losing momentum. This anniversary set is less about nostalgia than showing how the label’s sound has evolved over a decade: direct, punchy, and engineered for big-room impact.
He’s joined by Basstripper, one of the new-wave heavy hitters pushing modern D&B with clean, high-impact production. Across the night, back-to-back sets from Ora b2b Licia and CK3 b2b Overtone add that crew energy: fast handoffs, riskier blends, and the kind of pace that keeps the dancefloor locked in. Expect a multi-generational snapshot of Elevate’s DNA, from precision sound design to no-nonsense, late-night pressure.
