Peverelist
Bristol based visionary behind both Livity Sound and Punch Drunk records who has spent over two decades at the cutting edge of UK underground dance music.
Peverelist’s sharp, ear-catching style as a DJ and producer has placed him at the vanguard of forward-thinking club music.
His unique take on the soundsystem tradition draws on techno, jungle, dub, grime and garage in pursuit of a sound that’s uplifting and innovative.
From his early releases and first label Punch Drunk through to the establishment of Livity Sound in 2011, Pev’s helped represent Bristol’s ever-evolving independent electronic music scene internationally. More than a decade in, Livity Sound now stands as one of the key global benchmarks for a hybridised dance music which draws on inventive approaches to rhythm and melody.
Through successive albums and EPs Pev’s developed a singular production style which balances delicacy and spaciousness with maximum presence, while his DJing teases the edge between horizon-expanding new music and a keen instinct for what makes people move. If there is such a thing as a ‘Livity’ sound, it stems from this artistic approach.
Unbound by genre, exploring percussive patterns and holding true to the fundamental principles of great soundsystem music, Pev’s trajectory continues to bring us untold surprises from the cutting edge.
Hodge
Bristol, England's Jake Martin produces heavily percussive club music under the name Hodge. While his tracks veer between house, techno, and post-dubstep styles, they're generally united by a common thread of strong rhythms and massive bass. Martin's initial releases as Hodge were immersive deep house tracks similar to his work as part of Outboxx, his duo with Matthew Lambert. Starting with 2012's Dusted EP on Deadplate Records, his sound became darker and more creative. Peverelist (owner of the Punch Drunk label) became a significant influence on Hodge's sound, and the two collaborated for the first time on the 2013 single "Bells." More singles appeared on techno and post-dubstep labels such as Livity Sound, Tempa, Hemlock, and Berceuse Heroique, as Hodge quickly became one of underground bass music's biggest names. Hodge collaborated with Randomer on the 2016 single "Second Freeze," and worked with Peder Mannerfelt on 2017's All My Love EP. His sound continued to build, with releases such as Tru alongside Laurel Halo and Beneath Two Moons leading into his most ambitious project to date, his debut full-length album Shadows in Blue.
