Hacked Bass Sessions

LAST HACKED SESSION OF THE SEASON
HEAD MODULE: ONLINE

BLACK BARREL aka LEO CAP — hailing from St. Petersburg, Evgenii Khmel is a producer and DJ operating across multiple aliases, most notably Black Barrel in drum & bass and Leo Cap in dubstep. His name is closely tied to key institutions of the scene — Dispatch Recordings and Metalheadz — where his catalogue stands among the most distinctive in modern drum & bass.

As Leo Cap, he explores the darker spectrum of bass music, blending dubstep, 140, and elements of techno into a dense, immersive sound. His work reflects a signature approach: deep low-end pressure, stripped-back tension, and a cinematic sense of space. Releases on labels like Deep, Dark & Dangerous and Artikal Music have positioned him firmly within the global dubstep underground.

Across both projects, his music has reached major clubs and festivals worldwide, including Outlook Festival, Let It Roll, and Rampage Open Air. With over 300 tracks produced, his sound is defined by technical precision, heavy low-end, and a system-focused approach built for large-scale environments.

Expect a set where drum & bass and dubstep meet at full pressure — raw, controlled, and uncompromising.
