AWR Partner with the UK’s Number 1 Drum & Bass Events Team

AudioWave Records has officially announced a major partnership with LC Bass Events, the UK’s Number 1 Drum & Bass events organisation, led by the legendary MC Tanz. This collaboration marks one of the most significant developments in the UK underground music scene in 2026, bringing together two powerhouses with a shared mission: elevate emerging talent, champion real artistry, and reshape the future of Drum & Bass culture.

This partnership will introduce the Drum & Bass Edition of the Discovered Sessions, an explosive nationwide tour bringing the raw energy of DnB to clubs across the UK. For the first time, up-and-coming MCs and DJs will have the rare opportunity to perform alongside some of the most respected names in the industry — including Twin Frequency, Tanz, Mr. Traumatik, DJ Frenzee, and many more iconic artists within the scene.

A Platform Built to Discover Breakthrough Talent

Discovered Sessions was created by AudioWave Records to shine a light on artists who deserve to be heard, and the Drum & Bass Edition takes this mission to new heights.

Through this partnership:

• Unsigned MCs and DJs gain real stage time, performing in front of packed DnB crowds

• AWR A&R teams will be present at every show, scouting talent in real time

• Breakthrough acts can be signed to AudioWave Records, gaining industry support and sync opportunities

• Performers gain direct exposure to headline-level artists and event promoters

• The tour becomes a launchpad for careers — not just a performance opportunity

This is not just a series of events.

This is a national talent pipeline built by the most innovative independent label in the UK and the strongest DnB events brand in the country.
