DJ Die and DJ Krust to headline Mucky Weekender Festival with MC Inja 

Drum & Bass pioneers DJ Die and DJ Krust are set to bring their heavyweight back‑to‑back show to Mucky  Weekender this September, and they are rolling in with the effervescent wordsmith MC  Inja. The trio will headline the brand‑new main stage, Riot  Noise, a fully customised 7.5‑tonne truck that transforms into a mobile booth with enough sound to rattle the surrounding fields. From Thursday 11th until Saturday 13th  September the truck will become the beating heart of the festival.

Die and Krust come from Bristol, the city that has never stopped re‑imagining bass culture. In the mid‑nineties they founded the influential Full  Cycle label, sharpening a sound that travelled from pirate radio to stadium stages. Their studio chemistry also powered the Mercury  Prize‑winning collective Reprazent, proving that Drum & Bass could sit confidently in the mainstream without losing its underground snap. Fast forward a few decades and both producers are still restless, releasing genre‑spanning solo projects, mentoring the next wave and constantly refreshing their DJ weaponry.

Meanwhile, MC  Inja has carved out his own lane with laser‑accurate double‑time flows, playful humour and quick‑fire freestyles that lift any set. Put them together and you get a masterclass, part history lesson, part rave workout, all delivered with that unmistakable Bristol swagger. Expect classic rollers, unreleased dubplates and clever call‑and‑response moments that will have even the most seasoned heads grinning.

The rest of Thursday’s opening party is equally stacked. David Rodigan brings reggae royalty, Leftfield supply widescreen electronica, Phil  Hartnoll of Orbital fame drops acid‑laced breaks, while Norman  Jay  MBE digs deep for carnival‑ready funk. Add Gardna, DJ Yoda, Don  Letts, Eva  Lazarus, friend of DT Jaguar  Skills, The  Allergies and a long list of rising selectors and you have a line‑up that covers every corner of the bass spectrum.

Across the site you will find boutique camping, locally sourced street food, immersive art installations and the cheeky atmosphere that has made Mucky Weekender a cult favourite. There is even a secret stage tucked inside the woods for those who like their beats after sunrise. Pack comfortable shoes, prepare for three days of sub‑low therapy and remember, the Mucky crew never do half measures.
