Infamy can be good or bad…in the case of Virus Syndicate...it's all good! Born and raised in Manchester, MRK1, Nika D, JSD and Goldfinger are Virus Syndicate - the UK’s leading vocal Dubstep, HipHop and Grime outfit. Infamous for their mainstream and underground appeal the VS unit are tipped by the UK and US press to be the next major breakthrough act. Their seamless fusion of electronic beats, bone-shaking bass lines and heartfelt yet charmingly catchy lyrics are what attracted the attention of labels and media alike. Now with two critically acclaimed albums under their belts (The Work Related Illness & Sick Pay), Virus have gained the support of industry luminaries that include Tim Westwood, Mary Ann Hobbs, Liam Howlett and Wiley.
Industry favorites aside - Virus Syndicate fans aren't just limited to the media, their penchant for crowd surfing and high energy live performances have solidified their in-demand status and gained them a cult following from Southampton, to Stockholm and San Francisco.
From satire to irony, humor to sincere, gangster to political commentary, Virus Syndicate offer an interesting perspective on life and a much needed breath of fresh air for the urban/dance crossover fan base. Their recent back-to-back appearances at Miami's 2010 Winter Music Conference not only exposed their infectious sound and energy to a completely new audience but gave them the notoriety they deserve.
With their release, The Breakout Trilogy, freshly booked for Glastonbury 2010 and their first official US tour this Summer, Virus Syndicate are set to move crowds, raise temperatures and elevate their sound to a whole new level.
