Formula is the drum and bass producer with a need for speed, drawing inspiration from the world of racing to fuel his sound. He's been making laps around the DnB scene for years, leaving a trail of high-octane releases in his wake.

Gourski is a Cologne-based music producer, DJ, and multimedia artist whose “city as instrument” videos—sampling traffic lights, street ambience and everyday objects—have earned viral traction across YouTube and Instagram.
On the club side he’s a bona-fide DnB workhorse: high-energy, genre-curious sets that build tension, detour briefly into other styles, and snap back with heavy momentum. That approach has seen him recognised multiple times at the German Drum & Bass Awards (including “Best DJ,” as highlighted across his own channels).
In the studio, Gourski splits time between solo releases and collaborations. He’s a regular on Aw4ke—with tracks like “Reincarnation,” “Intruders,” “Nonstop,” and “Energy”—and has teamed up with The Green Man (TGM) on “High Voltage” for Basswerk Records (also featured on the label’s 25-year compilation).
Whether headlining in Cologne or playing all-night sessions further afield, Gourski acts as a sound-technical all-rounder: producer, sound designer and performance editor rolled into one. Expect tight transitions, smart left-turns, and a crowd-focused arc from first drop to lights up.

As Hanzom’s label owner, he has shaped a distinct sound while curating releases from rising and established heavyweights.
His recent catalogue underscores that trajectory: “Hurricane” (feat. Coppa) marked a statement debut release on Hanzom in late 2023; “Buried Alive” (feat. REEBZ) followed in 2025, doubling as his debut on NCS and landing across major playlists; and “Shimmer” with Sinister Souls arrived on Hanzom’s Triad EP in June 2025.

On the club circuit she’s a regular face in Cologne’s scene — especially the Beats x Bass x Cologne series and related showcases that spotlight rising talent, including regular performances at BOOTSHAUS, Germany’s number one club!
Festival highlights include Rampage Open Air 2024, Nature One, and Nibirii Festival 2025, where she featured on the bill and dropped a b2b festival mix with KBS and Delusional,
Musically, expect up-tempo rollers, jump-up curveballs and sunny, vocal-led selections stitched together at pace — quick blends for dopamine spikes, then tidy resets so the floor can breathe before the next lift.

Those dual-lane credentials—producer precision and loop pressure—define both his studio and stage presence.
His sets unfold like mini-suites: intro motifs recur as drops; risers ratchet into whip-crack snares; breakdowns reset energy without killing motion. Expect surgical kicks, snarling mids, tempo play and contrast—steppy, stripped passages blooming into sweeping choruses—anchored by a sub foundation you feel in your chest. It’s ruthlessly efficient, bold, and engineered for impact.

A leading figure in the French scene, BreZ has a decade-plus trajectory under huis belt, from solo beatboxing into modern loop performance.
Live, Brez combines front-man presence with producer discipline: muscular bass design under ear-worm toplines, purposeful breakdowns that pull the oxygen from the room, and sculpted drops that slam back with control. He pivots from hip-hop grit to 4x4 tension, halftime swagger to DnB payoffs — always with the vocal riding proud and the sub hitting clean.
M-age
CZ — SBX Kickback Battle 2025 Loopstation Runner-up; World Championship Top 10 (2023); GBB21 Loopstation competitor
M-Age (Matej Havlíček) is a Czech loopstation artist with a fast climb through the major international circuits. In 2025 he took 2nd place in the SBX Kickback Battle 2025: Loopstation season, after qualifying as the 2nd Wildcard Winner for the bracket.

He returned to LoopLab in 2025 with a fully refreshed set built from new originals, following his SBX Kickback campaign.

redfrost
DE - KBB25 qualifier, German Beatbox Championship 2024 Top 8
Redfrost is a German looper with a bass-centric aesthetic (riddim/dubstep flavors over club-ready drums) and a résumé that’s accelerated through 2023–2025: Top-8 at SBX Kickback 2025 (BOSS Loopstation Edition, S2); 1st place at Newfie’s Kitchen Eps. 4 (2025) and Eps. 2 (2024); Top-8 at the German Beatbox Championship 2024; 2nd at Beatbox Wild Cup 2023; and 1st at Jam Beatbox Championships 2023 (Loopstation). His socials and Swissbeatbox coverage track the Kickback run — seeding and quarter-finals versus Unhinged — showing a competitor comfortable under lights.
On stage, Redfrost keeps it lean and lethal: one bold riff + one ruthless groove, then controlled mutation via filters, stops and time-FX. The sound skews dark and percussive with disciplined subs; instead of layering endlessly, he tightens arrangements as the set climbs — negative-space drops, call-and-response edits, and snap-turn resets that make the next hit feel bigger. Recent battles vs Sagau at the German Champs underline that minimal-to-maximal approach — clean structure, heavy impact, and club-functional writing that reads immediately.
Sagau
DE - West German Loop Champion 2023, German Beatbox Championship 2024 Top 8
Sagau is a German looper known for dark, driving sets that fuse phonk grit with techno propulsion. He broke out with a win at the West German Beatbox Championship 2023 (Loopstation) and returned in 2024 to make deep runs at the German Beatbox Championship, including high-profile battles versus Syjo and Redfrost. His channel and tournament uploads showcase that arc — seedings, winners’ compilations and full matches that trace a fast climb from regional upstart to national-stage threat.
Live, Sagau builds pressure with layered textures and percussive edits before dropping ironclad grooves — phonk-inflected bass patterns, clipped hats and steely kicks — shaped for rooms where contrast matters. Recent outputs (“Real Phonk” seeding; long-form collabs and showcases) capture a performer who keeps clarity under heat: brooding intros, disciplined mid-range, and hammer-drop peaks that don’t blow the headroom. Expect relentless forward motion and tightly plotted dynamics, equally effective solo or B2B with Shinex.
Shinex
DE - Beatbox Wild Cup Champion 2023, German Beatbox Championship 2024 Top 8
Shinex is a German looper pushing a hook-led, “stutter-house” leaning sound on the RC-505. On the circuit he’s stacked results quickly: 2nd place at Beatbox Wild Cup 2024 (Loopstation) and Top-8 at the German Beatbox Championship 2024 (Loopstation); in 2023 he took 1st at Beatbox Wild Cup and multiple Top-4 finishes at the West German Beatbox Championship and Robeat Award, plus a CLIP 2v2 Loopstation Top-4 alongside Mistix as DUHUSO. Earlier placements include Lil Looping Battle S2 (4th, 2022).
On stage he’s melody-first and mix-disciplined: clean vocal stacks, razor transients, and bass that hits without smearing. Recent showcases include SHINEX UNBOXED (GBC24 edition), the KAOS vs SHINEX quarter-final at the German Champs, and a full Shinex × Sagau performance at Loop Mayhem 2.0, underlining his tight phrasing and crowd-read across techno, house and DnB tempos. Singles like “Let You Go (VIP)” highlight his producer ear for toplines that actually stick. Expect precision builds, tasteful edits and payoff drops engineered for big systems.
KAOS X KBA
techtonic
DK/DE - KBA: GBB24 Producer World Champion, Kaos: German Championship/GBB podiums
TechTonic is the live DnB loop project of KBA (Denmark) and Kaos (Germany) — both podium finishers in the GBB Producer category. KBA is the GBB 2024 Producer Champion (after taking 2nd in 2023), while Kaos placed 3rd (Producer) at GBB 2023 and has multiple loop titles including Florida Beatbox Battle 2024 (Loopstation) champion. Together they’ve delivered hour-long Techtonic sets at events like LoopLab Vol.1 and Loop Mayhem.
TechTonic treats the loop rig like a hybrid drum kit/sampler for peak-time DnB: rolling steppers, tech-edged riffs and ironclad sub, punctuated by the occasional dubstep drop for catharsis. Expect tight finger-drumming, rapid resampling, and scene-based builds that escalate without losing headroom; contrast is the engine — percussive tunnels opening into widescreen drops — so the room keeps moving front to back.
watt
CZ — Grand Beatbox Battle 2025 Producer Champion (Tokyo); World Championship Loopstation Top 4 (2023); Czech Loopstation Champion (2021, 2022)
Watt (Ondřej Štefaničák) is a Czech producer and loop artist, crowned Grand Beatbox Battle 2025 Producer Champion in Tokyo. He entered the 2025 GBB Producer lineup via 1st-place wildcard and went on to win the title.
