Hugh Hardie & MC Fava
DnB Tuesdays LIVEevent
Hugh Hardie (Hospital – UK): Cambridge, U.K.-born Hugh Hardie started playing piano at the age of nine, but after learning scales and music theory based around classical music, he found himself naturally gravitating toward a jazz and soul style of playing. Studying music production at college, he spent his spare time developing his skills, mainly producing downtempo hip-hop inspired by the likes of Quantic, Bonobo, and RJD2, before immersing himself in the world of drum’n’bass. Drawing influences from acts such as High Contrast and Logistics, as well as his love of soul and jazz, Hardie started to develop his own style of lushly produced, rolling drum’n’bass. By 2014, he had been making his way into the scene DJ’ing and producing before catching the attention of Hospital Records. “Tearing Me Apart” became Hardie’s first release on the label: it appeared on their 18th anniversary album, Hospital: We Are 18. That same year he collaborated with one of his influences, Logistics, on his album Polyphony, as well as appearing on the Hospital-released Etherwood summer mixtape. 2015 saw Hardie exclusively sign to the label and delivered a handful of tracks that appeared on various Hospital compilations throughout the year. Two years after catching the attention of the label, he released his debut EP, the soulful and jazzy-sounding City Soul. The rest of the year saw him DJ’ing across Europe and Canada, and starting work on his debut album. The resulting Colourspace, which featured collaborations with GLXY, Pola & Bryson, and Maverick Soul, dropped in mid-2017.
MC Fava (Hospital – GR): MC Fava belongs to the ‘Breakbeat Movement” Cru based in Freiburg. Together they are running their regular event ‘Jungle Club” since 2001. Fava is a chameleon on the Mic – hosting the official Therapy Sessions Switzerland as resident MC on one day and singing over a liquid set at a Hospitality event the other day. He is what you could call a pretty talented and open minded vocalist. With more than 10 years experience he knows how to support a DJ on the Mic and when to shut up to let the music speak for itself. With gigs all over Europe, highly respected residencies at the legendary Fabric Club, London or Sun and Bass on Sardinia and collaborations with ones like Klute, Seba, B-Complex or Nymfo he is without any doubt one of Germany’s big names on the Mic. His roots go back to EBM, Industrial and Punkrock. Moreover he is the Songwriter, Guitarist and Lead-singer of the 8 piece Skapunk Band ‘No Authority”.
