Delta Heavy Australian Tour

After remixes for Example, Avicii, Chase & Status ft. Tinie Tempah, Rita Ora and more, Delta Heavy will finally return to Australia to debut tracks from their forthcoming debut album, performing in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

With unrivaled mixing abilities and absolute next level production, Delta Heavy have provided us with some of the biggest tunes to come out of 2015. The duo are considered to be the most exciting artists to hit the bass music scene since Chase & Status and Nero - and it's widely considered that 2016 has their name written all over. Having conquered the clubs, however, their newer tracks are becoming more song-oriented, pointing towards a debut album that will surely be hailed as one of the year’s best, designed to satisfy bass-heads and traditional music-heads alike.

Simon James and Ben Hall met at Nottingham University in 2003 they zeroed in on the city’s drum and bass scene spearheaded by nights such as Detonate and clubs such as Stealth.

Si was the musical one with the background playing instruments while Ben was the one with a penchant for sound engineering and a background as a DJ. It proved the perfect combination. After graduating, they wound their way back to London where they both acquired computer software. “And,” recalls Si, “because both of us had the same interests in music, we thought we’d align our knowledge.”

After several years of hard graft, their debut release appeared on Viper’s acclaimed Acts Of Mad Men compilation in June 2009. They had a cut on the Harry Brown soundtrack, followed by the anthemic Abort in June 2010, which received widespread recognition from the underground as well as support from the mainstream. They signed to drum & bass mogul Andy C’s Ram, label home of Chase & Status and Sub Focus, establishing themselves as credible newcomers with Space Time/Take The Stairs. The former was nominated as Best Track at the 2010 Drum & Bass Arena Awards while earning Si and Ben nominations for Best Producer and Best Newcomer DJ.

They remixed Example, Avicii, Chase & Status ft. Tinie Tempah, Rita Ora and Nero, making Delta Heavy ones to seriously watch. Their next release, Overkill/Hold Me, confirmed their reputation as bass innovators, mixing extreme electronic noise with low-end frequencies while acknowledging the need for a commercial imperative. The video to Hold Me received over a million views in a little over a week and daytime radio plays from Sara Cox as well as specialist spins from Skream & Benga, Mistajam & Kissy Sell Out.
