We invite you to the first edition of a new concept exploring the depths of bass music
Expect carefully tuned sound systems that move between the beautiful and the relentless, paired with immersive visual expressions.
This is a space for freedom, presence, and shared experience — where everyone is welcome, and discrimination has no place.
For this opening night, we welcome guests from Oslo and Lofoten.

NOSTRE (Celsius, Offworld)
In 2015 Nostre found love for the fast paced, deep and rolling sounds of drum and bass. He would later go on and win the remix contest of Dub Frequency's "Pull Em Out", signing his first release when only 17 years old. Not long thereafter, he got signed to Soul Deep Recordings, with his solo EP "Anything 4 U". While making moves in the DnB scene, Nostre is signed to labels such as Celsius, Galacy, Offworld Recordings, Influenza, Soul Deep, DNBB Record and Omni music. He har several times worked with artists such as Azaleh, FearBace, Fishy, Henry and so on. Keep your eyes peeled for whatæs to come in the future.

WATR
WatR has been making a name for himself on social media by blending styles like drum & bass, dubstep and UK garage. He is currently gaining more and more listeners worldwide with his recent releases, like for example the EP "India", that was written whilst travelling. He is one of the organizers of the festival "Solar Flow" in Lofoten. He has also played a number of shows and gotten a solid fanbase in Oslo, so we can't wait for his Bergen debut, where he will play music from his upcoming album.

AVILE (Neuroheadz, Neuropunk)
Hailing from Bergen, NXT LVL resident Avile made some big moves in the global drum & bass scene post covid, with releases on labels like Neuropunk, Neuroheadz, High Resistance and Stonx music. He also got picked as one of the top remixers for his remix of Erb N Dub's Loud mouth. His released sounds can mostly be described as aggressive neurofunk, but his remix of "So Absurd" by Bishu on SC shows that this artists got more tricks up his sleeve. He got some exciting stuff lined up for the future, so definitely one to follow!

He has also been the sound technician on some of the biggest parties we have seen in Bergen. He is the man behind Fjell Frequencies and will provide the sound for this night.

PROGENY
Progeny is a drum & bass artist and DJ from Bergen. He emerged in the local underground club scene in Bergen in 2017 and has since continued to develop his futuristic and heavy style. In 2018 he started the NXT LVL Bergen crew that over the years booked and supported international artists like Noisia, TeeBee, Black Sun Empire, Phace, Pythius, Buunshin and a bunch of local DJ’s/producers.
