The title Living Legends is a mild term for a show boasting this lineup. DJ Hype has not touched down in Florida in more than five years, and the anticipation for this drum and bass forefather’s return echoes his namesake. Then there’s Fabio, who has championed the smooth sounds of liquid funk and showed the world the versatility and musicality of drum and bass. Their sets will be hosted by none other than MC GQ, who is favored by many top DJs because he is known to complement their sets with lyrical accuracy instead of sounding like 2 Live Crew on a crack binge. Opening for them are Floridian titans the Engineer, Dublex, and Orlando’s Circle K and MC Collaborator. — Robert Sawyer
