Refuse To Love

Loadstar

Ram Records

WE SAY

Bristol-based UK bass duo Loadstar cement their place at the forefront of the scene's next wave with new single Refuse To Love, ahead of releasing debut album Future Perfect on May 5. Premiered on 1Xtra by Mistajam and playlisted at MTV Dance, this huge track proves that songs and hard-hitting basslines aren't mutually exclusive, reflecting Loadstar's unique position astride national radio playlists and the underground rave scene. Their new-found prominence as DJs, producers and remixers (Angel Haze, Charli XCX, Example, Chase & Status) has earned them slots at festivals such as Glastonbury, Hideout, Kendal Calling, Evolution EDC NYC and EDC Vegas, while their still-faithful underground fanbase continues to flock to the warehouse raves you won't find in the usual gig listings.

London gig: Fabric, May 17 (album launch)
