The next installment in our Focus series, where we hone in on a specific strand in the dance music tapestry, puts the spotlight on drum & bass. If you’ve joined us for a Headznite or other drum & bass adjacent sets from artists like Goldie and dBridge, you know this style sounds incredible on our soundsystem. This night brings together four artists at the forefront of the genre. With releases on dBridge’s Exit Records, Currency Audio brings live drumming to a drum & bass live set that’s truly like no other. An affiliate of Headznite and a staple of the Brooklyn underground as part of Real Blue Love Rips, Rage.inald brings a punk mentality to DJing, often incorporating live vocals or hardware elements to his sets. Detroit DJ and producer Sinistarr has released on top drum & bass labels like Exit Records and Metalheadz, the label founded in 1994 by by Kemistry & Storm and Goldie. Fresh off a recent RA podcast, upsammy rounds things out with her adventurous, layered approach. With releases across genres, upsammy’s style feels informed by classic IDM palettes, precise sound design, and experimental percussion – sure to take us to the edges of what “drum & bass” can be.
