Successfully nailing every sound they explore - from glitch to electro to brutal drum & bass - their ability to conjure a frenzy with all types of crowds is mindblowing.

The trio kick-started their career by being chosen as Skrillex’s "Honorable Pick” in the Damian Marley and Skrillex "Make It Bun Dem" remix competition for the highly acclaimed OWSLA label. Skrillex himself chose Teddy Killerz's tune as his “personal favourite” on Beatport. The tune caused such a stir that it saw the trio signing a deal with OWSLA as a result. In a short two years period the trio have already released on Division, Program, Par Excellence and OWSLA to name a few.
The group has also collaborated with heavy-weight artists such as Modestep, Dope DOD, Skrillex, I Am Legion and a host of other artists in various genres.

Supporting line-up: Freqax, Inflex & Vigilante
Freqax is the indelible moniker that houses the searing frequencies of Romanian producer Adrian Andrei, a sonic creator enriched with a wide array of inspirations that have emerged in transcendently heavy forms through his many productions. The Freqax entity emerged through its first label platform in 2009, with the release of The Man with no Faith on Sinuous Recordings, during the first phase of the project, during which Freqax consisted of 2 members (the 2nd member, Adrenalina, left the project in 2012). Since that first release, the frequency and quality of the projects has evolved mercilessly, with singles and EPs on some of the decades most revered and hard-hitting drum & bass labels including PRSPCT, Othercide, Algorythm, Yellow Stripe and Forbidden Society Recordings, as well as numerous consistent and rising imprints.
The roots of his musical interests grew from authentic rave foundations through a love of The Prodigy’s music in ’94, exposure to which stimulated an interest in the production process and a fascination with the feelings that electronic music elicited.
Within the last 12 months alone, Freqax has released more than 33 tracks, with collaborations from fellow leading producers in drum & bass, including Counterstrike, Katharsys and Sinister Sounds, as well as remixing Agressor Bunx, Anatomix and Brainpan. The „Meant to Believe” LP saw support on Noisia Radio, and club play from a staller array or artists including The Upbeats, Dieselboy, Misanthrop, Evol Intent, Jade and Mind Vortex.
Inflex is one of the key figures in the Bucharest drum&bass community. He’s been around for the last 8 years, pleasing the ears of many crowds with his energetic sets and versatile approach. Over the years, he shared the stage with legions of notable artists, such as Andy C, London Elektricity, Goldie, Black Sun Empire and so on, gaining experience and maturity behind the decks, as well as producing his own music. All in all, a shy guy who will dance your shoes off - so be around!
Ivan Muñoz (aka Vigilante) is one of the most important Electronic music artists & DJs to emerge from South America. Following in the footsteps of giants like Celldweller, Zardonic, The Qemists or Pendulum, Vigilante’s music is flawlessly blending Electronic and Metal sound and has already succeeded in gaining a worldwide recognition and following from both audiences through his releases and shows.
He always delivers an enormous amount of energy and intensity which will get any concert hall or club bouncing and moving. He has played on some of Europe’s most important festivals (Electron, Wave Gotik Treffen, Montreux Jazz Festival and more) and shared stages with Nine Inch Nails and Phace.
