dBridge (UK, Exit records, Autonomic,A Bunch of Cuts)

“It goes through a lot of different phases- it’s kinda rolling, then it goes minimal, then it goes half-time, and when you listen to it it’s really hard to believe it’s all at one tempo. That’s the beauty of the 170bpm mark” D-Bridge

Darren White aka D-Bridge is a legendary figure and veteran producer in the drum & bass scene. Though his career stretches back to the early 90s, it was in his role as one quarter of the irrepressible drum & bass super-group Bad Company in the late 90s and early 00s that he really stamped his mark on the scene, dominating the sound of drum & bass during that period. Tunes like ‘The Nine’, ‘Planet Dust’ and ‘Nitrous’ are unforgettable classics and are the tip of the iceberg of an incredible back catalogue of work from the foursome.

Since they disbanded, D-Bridge has carved a superb reputation as a solo artist, with a more refined sound that is no less effective in the clubs, with tunes like ‘True Romance’, ‘Odessa’ and ‘Twilight’ leaving a lasting impression on the scene. His label Exit Records is renowned for quality over quantity, with all releases carrying a touch of class.

He’s a highly sought after DJ, and his widespread appeal is best demonstrated by the fact that he regularly appears at nearly every one of our wide range of drum & bass nights, from the tough beats of Renegade Hardware to the soulful vibes of Swerve, via Ram Records rave-up and Shogun Audio’s slightly more left of centre throw-down.

D-Bridge loves to draw from the range of diverse music he’s so passionate about when playing a live DJ set.

Seamless transistions from rough to smooth are his trademark although his sets always deliver for the dancefloor, making him equally at home whether representing Metalheadz or Soul:r for example.

Having honed his deck skills with over 10 years of DJing experience, D-Bridge brings the same quality and style to a live show that he does in the studio. It’s no surprise then that demand for D-Bridge is high and can surely only rise as the success of Exit Records continues to grow.

After promoting successful techno and DnB events in the World War II-era bunkers that dot Sydney Harbors shoreline as well as venues like The Occidental he switched 100% of his focus onto dj’ing.

Kir Mokum: SHAHdjs/East Van Digital

http://soundcloud.com/kir_mokum

An uncompromising intellectual with a virile artistic spirit, Kir Mokum focuses on introducing his audience to music they didn’t even realize they wanted to hear. In classic rōnin style, this man is unfettered by the categorical thinking of the d’n'b shogunate. His chosen path is to shed light on the depth and breadth of the music he represents.

HxdB: Surefire/Tectonic/Aufect/Formant/East Van Digital

http://soundcloud.com/hexadecibel

Recently back from a UK tour, it’s hard to express the respect HxdB has here in Van. A gambit in the crew culture, Hex has stood his own ground and managed to rise above. Future music is often used to describe the bass heavy 2-steppy left of dubstep sound that is uniquely his.
