Established in 2008, the annual music festival held in Croatia has become known and loved as one of the best festivals in the world and certainly the biggest for bass-orientated music, in particular Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Grime, Dub Reggae, Hip Hop and more.
For the first time, Outlook brings it’s formidable programming and irresistible sound to the UK with it’s first ever festival on home soil, taking place from 30th June – 3rd July at Cholmondeley Castle, Cheshire.
As the festival approaches, we take a look at 8 acts you should keep your eyes on at Outlook UK.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
SKREAM
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13208″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Skream is an artist that needs very little introduction. Born & bred in Croydon, he is well known for pioneering the Dubstep genre before making the decision to focus his artistic output on other styles. Almost a decade after that decision and his last appearance at the festival, Skream returns to Outlook, causing waves of excitement and anticipation for a set which will feel very much like a homecoming.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

CHLOÉ ROBINSON
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13227″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Having changed her name from Barely Legal last year, Chloé Robinson is an artist that has been evolving and refining over the years. Historically known for her very wicked, varied and bass heavy DJ sets, spanning grime to drum and bass, the London-based artist has now moved her DJ sets towards more House & Techno territory as well as production, both to excellent effect. This will be her first Outlook appearance under the new name and we’re sure it won’t be the last.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

FABIO & GROOVERIDER
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13212″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When you think of Drum & Bass and Jungle, you immediately think of Fabio & Grooverider. The two dons have been at the top of the game since the sound’s inception in the early 90’s and their form & stature have not wavered since. If you want a lesson in all things breakbeat, from stone cold classics to innovative new productions, then you can guarantee you’ll get it here.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

COOPS
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13214″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Coops is one of the best voices in UK Hip Hop right now. The High Focus affiliate made his debut on the label with single That Jazz and has gone to release 3 acclaimed albums with the Brighton based outfit. His music perfectly rides the line between nostalgia and originality and is always layered with infectious & thought provoking lyrical work. Impressively, he can also boast that his first ever live performance was at London’s O2 Arena, supporting hip hop legend Nas. Not many can say that![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
