Music is the whisper of our heartbeats, echoing the rhythm of the universe; it’s not just heard, but felt, weaving the tapestry of our souls, connecting us beyond words, beyond time.

In a world of separation, we crave a warm community.

In a world of polarisation, we yearn for human connection.

In times of isolation, we crave the sharing of thoughts and ideas.

In a world of wars, we long for harmony.

In a world of ordinary, we aspire for the extraordinary.

Enter The Momentum Manifesto — a declaration that sums up these profound yearnings. Momentum is what powers these desires, creating a space where ordinary people come together to achieve the extraordinary. It’s more than just a drum and bass event; it’s a concept that nurtures connections — a network of artists, promoters, and fans united by a passion for music and a shared pursuit of something greater.

This is particularly relevant as the drum and bass scene is evolving, with a rapidly growing number of artists, promoters, and fans, resulting in an abundance of new talent that’s challenging to neatly categorise. Effective curation and presentation of passionate artists is essential to navigate the complexities of this thriving community. It’s about enabling each artist to discover their unique tribe, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.

Our Mission

  1. Elevate eclectic drum and bass music, acknowledging that in a world of infinite niches, there’s no standard box for everyone.
  2. Embrace the heartbeat of groove, vibe, and storytelling in everything we do.
  3. Cultivate collaboration by forging connections between artists, promoters, and fans.
  4. Provide a dynamic stage for self-expression and immersive live experiences.
  5. Ensure recognition, connection, and appreciation for the diverse talents that contribute to our collective experience.
  6. Simply exist, serving as a beacon for those seeking a place where passion, creativity, and unity converge.

Join us on this journey, where the beat of unity resonates louder than ever.
