Hedex tore apart the Budapest leg of the Mixmag x Burn Energy Tour 2024
The first stop on the Burn Energy Tour 2024 put focus on Budapest’s burgeoning underground drum ’n’ bass scene, shining a light on the promoters, broadcasters and artists that are making the city one of the electronic world’s exciting creative locations.
The tour’s focus on drum ’n’ bass in Budapest is a reflection of the city’s new crop of underground creatives. While parties such as Bladerunnaz have helped to solidify d’n’b’s position as the city’s preferred genre, institutions like Lahmacun have helped to carve a new sonic identity for the city — platforming artists such as Shaymi and Bug, and their knack for combining melodic and dark harmonies into a 160 ruckus.
As a flagbearer for the new school jump-up sound, Hedex is already familiar with Hungary’s capital — having delighted crowds at parties from Bladerunnaz, DNB Allstars, and more.
“Budapest has a long-running heritage of supporting the scene all over the world,” he adds. “Drum ‘n’ bass runs quite deep there, and I always look forward to coming back.”
Burn Energy Tour’s daytime offering in Budapest featured a workshop hosted by Lahmacun Radio alongside Charlie Tee on How to cultivate a non-profit music community, as well as a skills session from Charlie.
