Virus Syndicate
Live
Virus Syndicate are DJ/producer MRK1 and MCs JSD, Goldfinger & Nika D. Hailing from Manchester, their raw urban bass-heavy sound leans to many genres. With hard-edged beats and lyrical intelligence the Virus are fast gaining tips to become the next major UK break-through act.
MRK1 (Formerly Mark One) is one of the leading heads in the ever-evolving dubstep scene and combined with his heavy electro, grime, hip hop and jungle influence his sound provides a super-sonic platform for the lyrically astounding MCs. From satire to irony, humour to sincerity, gangster to political commentary, Virus Syndicate offer an interesting perspective on life and a much-needed breath of fresh air for the urban/dance crossover fan base.
After the success of their debut album The Work Related Illness, Virus return with a fresh batch of hybrid bass bombs with an album entitled Sick Pay, all unique in sound and even more infectious than before.
It's gonna' get GRIMEY!
