Sigma [DJ Set] Manchester

Sigma are back at Joshua Brooks for another basement session that’ll test the limits of the VOID Acoustics system.

The drum & bass titans who gave us “Nobody to Love” and “Changing” have undergone a serious transformation. After deliberately walking away from mainstream success, Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie dropped their “London Sound” album in 2024 – 15 tracks of underground drum & bass that hit #30 on UK charts while staying true to their roots. Now running their own Day Ones label, they’re free to unleash the darker, heavier productions that made their name in Leeds’ underground scene.

Their last appearance at JBs already proved what happens when you squeeze Sigma into a limited-capacity basement – pure carnage. The duo’s high-energy mixing style rarely lets a track breathe for more than a minute, blending liquid rollers with jump-up weapons and everything in between. When former DMC UK Champion Joe Lenzie gets behind those CDJ 3000s, expect technical wizardry alongside the anthems.

Joshua Brooks’ bare brick walls have hosted Manchester’s finest since 1993, and the venue’s recent tech upgrade means Sigma get the full arsenal. The intimacy of JBs transforms their set into something rawer than festival main stages – this is D&B how it’s meant to be experienced.

Fresh from commanding 60,000 people at Reading & Leeds’ “world’s biggest silent disco” and headlining Let It Roll, Sigma know how to work any crowd. But it’s in rooms like this where they truly excel – where the ceiling drips condensation and the crowd becomes one writhing mass. Limited capacity means this sells out. You know what to do.
