The first Whomp in October has already become a thing of legend, with Opiuo blowing the building off the basement of PlanB in Brixton for his first ever London show (read our review here).

Tickets are now on sale for the second edition on 28 December and likely to sell out quick with headliners Reso plus UK Glitch Hop favourites Vent, Krossbow, William Breakspear of Skanky Panky, Tryptich, Mike Wallis of Colony Productions and Lumo completing the bill. Should be a gone one to work off all that turkey and cheese....

International glitch heads will know of Reso from his remix of Koan Sound's 80s Fitness, while his debut album Tangram came out on Civil Music last month. As you can hear from the clip below, like label-mate Om Unit he inhabits a liminal space of bass that nods between house, twostep, future hop and mid tempo without ever being too tied down.
