Next For The Win •► Dogma •► Jakes •► 17th February





Safe to say For The Win is back and what a way to start, Subscape absolutely smashed up Dogma, as did Lowpass and Solero as well. Now moving further into 2011 we bring you the sounds of one of the most unique and hard working producers in the scene...
Line up:

Jakes (Hench)

This Bristol based MC / DJ / Producer is a true representative of what hard work can achieve, not content with being one of the biggest MC's in drum and bass and also helping run one of the biggest labels in the scene D-Style, Jakes also runs one of the most consistent imprints in dubstep, in the form of Hench. Having launched the careers of artists such as Lost, Mensah, Chasing Shadows, Giant, Eddie K and many others, Hench really is going from strength to strength. Also as a producer Jakes has made some of the biggest tunes in the genre which have pushed him to the forefront of the scene, and allowed him to DJ all over the world. To say we are excited about having Jakes at For The Win is an understatement, we are ecstatic, and so should you be to.

Goli & Ashburner (Kraken / Clandestine / Ministry of Sound / Get Darker)

Full Rubberdub Crew - KG, Grimaz, Mac, SikGoat and Yoshi.

Introducing: Mac Art




When considering particularly artistic cities in the UK one of the last cities to come to mind would be Nottingham, but Nottingham is where resides one of Britain's hidden artistic gems in the form of Mac. As one of the founding members of one of Nottingham's most highly regarded jungle / dubstep nights Rubberdub, Mac made a name for himself as pen wielding genius across the country with his innovative and vibrant flyer designs. In an age of apple mac technology and photo shop perfection, it is so inspiring to see a true bastion of illustration culture still developing his craft and having no plans of making the digital switch over any time soon, FTW decided to catch up with him and see what a gwannnnnnnnnnnnnn:

Presenting: FTW012 Saulya & Radic

Both born and bred in Nottingham, these two have etched their own mark on the cities music scene within a year of starting production.
