The innovative UK producers make Contact an epicenter of earth-shuddering bass sound.

Since its establishment in 2011, Livity Sound has been playing a key role in the inventive sphere of dance music. The Bristol-born label represents founders’ fervour for exploring uncharted territory, pushing the envelope of the genre in reaction to the main stream side of dubstep, which eventually lapsed into big-room rave music and pulled away from its sound system origins. Behind the imprint are Peverelist and Kowton, both of whom have drawn on a variety of influences to carry diverse underground mutations in UK garage, techno, house, grime and jungle.

The two make a return to Japan with their debut at Contact. Peverelist brings an innovative set full of unprecedented, idiosyncratic grooves that combine his UK garage influence with techno while Kowton, who revealed a minimalistic techno side in his “Utility” album last year, makes the Japanese premiere of his solo live performance.

They are joined by Goth-Trad, one of the leading figures in the Japanese bass-heavy music scene who has evolved from the label Deep Medi. The forward-thinking practitioner has now developed an expressive dubbed-out sound in his own right. This is a night that brings you up to date with the cutting edge of dance music, guaranteed to get your chest rattling.
