Drone

Originally from the outskirts of London I now resides in Melbourne Australia. I love drums. I love bass. I love the energy and how a tune can be funky yet revolting at the same time (that’s the best type by the way – a la Stakka & Skynet, Black Sun Empire). I love the high production standards, and how it has a reputation for being “gangsta”

Former rave promoter at one stage Drone was running a
monthly rave featuring a whole mish-mash of styles but particularly pushing the sounds of Hardcore Breaks. We did it for the love of raving – but then we remembered its much easier and less stressful to attend other people’s raves.

Now a Drum & Bass Producer Drone has produced a whole range of styles but has releases signed to Bass Command Records. Expect lots to come from this current D&B producer. Big things indeed!!

Noistek

Noistek- aka Albert Brooks, from Washington, D.C. (USA) is an electronic music producer, DJ, and founder of Digital Conspiracy.
He began making beats in the 90’s for vairous DC-baced rappers (incl. himself).
In the late 90’s he became acquainted with EDM, frequenting clubs that played industrial, house, techno, and breakbeat/hardcore.
In his boredom with rap, he turned to making this music that he was enjoying every weekend at the clubs. In describing this sound, “Noise+Technology coming together to make music” he had found his new name…
NOISTEK!
It wasn’t until the release of Roni Size’s ‘In The Mode’ however, that he got his first taste of proper DnB. Shortly followed by the likes of parties such as Buzz and warehouse raves like Baltimore’s infamous Studio 600/Copy Cat warehouse parties- where he really become completely submerged in all things jungle.
Prolific- he was soon at the point of making a full-length album for every season. Passing them out at every party and special event he could attend. It was getting to the point where it was an expectation of the patrons at these events- to get a new Noistek CD each time.
Always pushing, his original sound and DJ skills blossomed. Bass Command
In 2004, seeing the need to bring in like-minded producers/DJs to share his passion for EDM- he founded Digital Conspiracy. The next year, their first tunes were signed to prestigious internet label DARKLAND RECORDINGS (Au), where many cutting-edge DnB producers got their start. Followed by the successful launch of myspace pages for both Noistek and Digital Conspiracy, that became two of the most popular DnB-related myspace pages in the region. Then he went on to be included in the Mindocracy Recordings release “Diplomatic Immunity” w/the uber-bombastic track “Game Over” and to the release several self-released tunes & mixes thru the Noistek soundcloud page.
With DigiCon, Noistek has also moved on to organize and host some of the most exciting DnB events in the D.C. area as well!
Noistek excels in live performance, with on-point, hi-octane DJ sets that have been rocking venues in Baltimore, D.C., VA, PA, NYC.
Over 10 years since starting out, and 8 years since DigiCon’s inception- the tunes are still coming…sharp, often heavy, and original as ever. Nu-school sounds with a touch of old-school flavor. With no signs of slowing down, and several releases forthcoming on both prominent labels and new promising labels alike-
Noistek marches on…& the Conspiracy continues…

Pneumatics

Haling from Newcastle in the North East of England, Pneumatics (real names
Richard Blades & Steven Henderson) have been making Drum & Bass together since 2008.

Taking heavy influences from the darker sides of Psytrance, Pneumatics have a unique sound which has been described as ‘An intelligent fusion of Psytrance and Drum & Bass’.

With tracks forthcoming on Bass Command Records in early 2013 and a steady flow of new material coming out of the studio, things are looking good.
