Uplink (UK) brings us a four-track statement of intent on the 'Backrooms EP' - a hard-hitting dive into the shadowy corners of tech-driven Jump Up Drum & Bass. This collection is precision-crafted for late-night systems, loaded with stripped-back menace, militant energy, and sub-heavy groove 🔥

The title track ‘Backrooms’ teams Uplink with Manchester’s lyrical heavyweight Diligent Fingers, delivering a dystopian soundscape of glitched-out atmospheres, razor-sharp breaks and soul-rooted storytelling. ‘Code Denied’ follows with surgical detail - a steely, mechanical roller built for warehouse floors and dark headphone sessions alike. On ‘Infiltrator’, Uplink taps into covert jump-up territory with stuttering bass hits and stealth-mode energy, while ‘Liquidators’ closes the set with cold precision - pure minimal weight and calculated intent 😮‍💨

Available now on all platforms - let us know which one is your favourite 👇🏻💚

Biography 

Exile enters 2025 riding the wave of his most successful year to date.
In 2024, he cemented his place as one of the most dynamic talents in drum and bass. A nomination for Best Breakthrough Producer at the Drum & Bass Awards set the stage for an explosive year, while the launch of his label, Banished Beats, established him as not just a prolific artist but also a visionary leader in the scene. Exile’s ability to seamlessly juggle his roles as a DJ, producer, tutor, musician, and label boss is a testament to his unmatched versatility and dedication.
A defining moment of 2024 was his electrifying collaboration with Sola and Dread MC on ‘We No Care’ which landed on Jungle Cakes and became an instant anthem. The track dominated airwaves, earned a spot on Spotify’s biggest drum and bass playlist, and held its place as a fan favourite throughout the year. Beyond DNB, Exile demonstrated his genre-spanning prowess by venturing into Bass House with a standout release on Bad Medic Records’ Underdogs 2 EP, proving his ability to captivate audiences across electronic music.
Adding to his impressive achievements, Exile was snapped up by the prestigious Hot Cakes agency, further solidifying his position as a sought-after artist on the global stage.
As 2025 unfolds, Exile shows no signs of slowing down. With releases already confirmed on iconic labels such as Nu:Form and Make Your Era, he’s set to continue delivering rave-shaking anthems and pushing boundaries with unexpected collaborations. Whether he’s behind the decks, in the studio, or mentoring the next generation of talent, Exile’s influence and impact continue to grow.
