The HiFi Cartel is doing things big once again; as if their previous venture into bass wasn’t enough, the collective have outdone themselves by presenting an event showcasing one of the most historic and iconic labels in electronic music history. The famed and revived R&S Records will be showcasing the likes of The Chain, a rare DJ set from Brainmath artist Airhead, and of course, electronic music’s current crossover sensation, James Blake, in his FIRST EVER DJ set on Stateside soil. While some people know Blake for his emotive vocally-driven productions, he returns to his roots this time around, representing his past, present and future history as a producer in the bass world as well as previous occupation, being a great DJ.

More info about all the highs, lows and in-betweens after the jump.
