As Printworks prepares to bring its tenure to an end, the beloved London venue is calling upon The Hydra for a last hurrah event series, the Teachers, paying homage to the clubs and spaces that have come before. FWD>> – the seminal club night that needs little to no introduction – is one such space being showcased.
With all that mind, it makes total sense for the next mix in our three-part series to come from an artist whose name will forever be linked to both the FWD>> parties and the speaker-rattling sounds these nights uplifted: Youngsta.
In keeping with his alias, the DJ and producer born Daniel Lockhart found his footing within the UK underground scene – and most notably, within the realms of dubstep – early on, rising swiftly from burgeoning artist to flagbearer for a brave new sound that would leave an indelible mark on electronic music and culture.
For the series, Youngsta considers the enduring impact of FWD>> through a deep and spacious mix built from decades-old bangers and newer tracks from the likes of dubstep group LSN. Essential listening.
Youngsta plays The Hydra: FWD>> at Printworks on 7 April. He will also play at the event’s afterparty, held at The Cause 60 Dock Road.
