Playaz
It's been going since 2000 and DJ Hype’s Playaz nights at Fabric are still a crucial part of drum and bass in the city. When it comes to showcasing upfront dancefloor drum ’n’ bass in the environment it was made for, these parties are the best in town.

Based at recently opened Brixton club Phonox, this night is helmed by the ultra-innovative Ivy Lab trio, who are famed for their pioneering use of half-time yet explosive rhythms. If you’re keen to hear just how far the drum and bass template can be pushed, 20/20 LDN is the party for you.
