Quickly buying his first MIDI Controller and toying with production and DJing, goddard. later headed to London and later Manchester to study music production. It was in these cities that he fully immersed himself in electronic music, spending countless hours learning production techniques from YouTube tutorials, while absorbing everything from house and techno to bassline alongside D&B at clubs including fabric and Warehouse Project at the weekend.

The chart-topping and 2024 Brit nominee producer, blending DNB with lavish melodies and top-tier songwriting. Combining D&B tempos with sumptuous electronic melodies and inescapable hooks reminiscent of names like Bonobo and Maribou State, Northamptonshire-based producer goddard. is D&B’s next superstar in the making. His collaboration with rising UK vocalist Venbee has already scaled the upper-echelons of the UK singles chart and racked up streams in the tens of millions, while he’s received support from key figures in the world of D&B and beyond including Andy C, Sub Focus and Sigma.

Growing up in the sleepy Midlands market town of Kettering, attending his first rave at the age of 16 set goddard. on the path to where he is today. Recognised at the 2022 D&B Awards as Best Newcomer, the year also saw his inescapable collaboration with Venbee, ‘Messy in Heaven’ awarded Bass Track of the Year at the Radio 1 Dance Awards after receiving heavy rotation on the station and peaking at number three in the UK singles chart.

Playing support for goddard. across the tour is DADA JONES, the new project from Jess Kent, fusing UK garage, drum and bass, and club electronic vibes. With a knack for blending dancefloor energy with pop allure, Dada Jones has already hit the ground running with debut release “Drunk Text Me” with support from Editorial at DSP’s & radio support from Radio 1 & Triple J. Recently signed to DnB Allstars and now teaming up with Etc Etc in Australia, Dada’s upcoming releases promise a fresh and exciting new sonic direction, culminating in multiple releases before the year is out.

Joining the tour will be EJ KITTO. A vocalist, musician, producer, and label manager, she's very quickly demonstrated just how much she brings to the table. Already, she's got Playaz, V Recordings, DNB Allstars, and Born on Road releases in her discography as well as a series of monumental bookings as a deejay. So if somehow, you aren't on the hype train yet, this is the perfect time to climb aboard.
