Ray Keith (Dread Recordings)
Bailey (Metalheadz)
Chris Munky
Foreigndub

On Friday 27th February, the Oxford Art Factory becomes a pressure chamber of rolling basslines and deep jungle energy as Heavyweight Sessions brings together some of the most influential figures in drum & bass history. Running 11pm–6am, this is a no-compromise D&B marathon built for the true heads.
BAILEY (Metalheadz) — a selector whose legacy sits at the core of jungle’s evolution. From pirate radio roots on Energy FM, to his legendary residency at Metalheadz’ Blue Note sessions, to a decade shaping the sound for millions on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Bailey has stood as one of the genre’s most steadfast champions. Relentless, influential, and always future-facing, his sets continue to define what drum & bass can be.
RAY KEITH (Dread Recordings) — a foundational architect of UK breakbeat culture. From his early rare-groove and acid-house days to the explosive rise of hardcore and jungle, Ray’s fingerprints are etched into every era of the movement. Known for genre-defining productions like the unstoppable “Terrorist”, and as the force behind pioneering labels Penny Black, Dread, and UFO, Ray Keith remains one of the most respected innovators in drum & bass.
Local support duties are Chris Munky and Foreigndub, weaving heavyweight rollers and timeless jungle flavours, setting the momentum and carrying the journey well into the morning.
Heavyweight Sessions is a rare alignment of iconic pioneers and modern torchbearers — a full-force celebration of jungle, drum & bass culture, and the selectors who continue to push it forward.
