cappo regime’s style covers both the light and dark sides of drum ‘n’ bass and is heavily infused with jazz, hip-hop, techno and cinematic influences, whilst maintaining its energy and pace for the dance floor.

Formed in late 1998 by robert jess and stuart adamson (stuart previously formed Calibre – creative source with dominick martin ’96), cappo regime have quickly garnered a reputation as a blistering live act, taking their distinctive sound to dance floors throughout Ireland and the UK.

As a result, they have played support to acts such as London Elektricity, Goldie, Simon Bassline Smith, Mickey Finn, DJ Fierce, DJ Kid, The General, The Advocate, Rennie Pilgrim, Keith Tenniswood, Josh Wink and Dope Smugglaz.
