Tonight, two of the most prolific Drum and Bass DJs will team up for a show of epic proportions at the Town Ballroom. Thirteen years ago, AK1200 (Dave Minner) and Dara (Darragh Guilfoyle) joined forces with Dieselboy and MC Messinian to make the DnB supergroup Planet of the Drums. The idea was to earn respect for the style and to move Drum and Bass to the main stage. In 2009, Planet of the Drums went on their 10th anniversary tour, and was determined to be the longest-running annual national Electronic Dance Music tour ever. Then in 2010, they switched to one-off shows and appearances at major festivals, but the legacy of that journey lives on. AK1200 and Dara have embarked on this current tour to keep that dream alive.
The Town Ballroom is prepped for an influx of junglists and fans coming out of the woodwork to resurrect the relics of a music that has thankfully remained underground and in our hearts.
In lieu of diversity for musical preferences, tonight's party features another room focusing on a mixture of other Dance music styles. The show boasts a late cutoff time, a rarity for the Ballroom. Many other very talented artists will be playing in support including DJ Flex of Rochester, Alpha Flight Krew of Fort Erie, and Paul Kuenzi of Buffalo.
