Dropa’s style would best be described as a mix of chillwave, indietronic and darkwave. The duo out of Portland Oregon have just finished their third release “The Hours till Daylight”  A double album which originated from Micah doing the soundtrack for an indie film by Jon Garcia, and is due out  this next year. THTD is The follow up from their 2nd release Glass House which received much critical praise. Dropa’s first CD “A Well Orchestrated Plan” has a thick array of synths and layered beats with a more shoegaze experimental sound. With Glass House, Dropa has evolved their sound into a more directed, structural, intentional approach. Meticulously crafting eclectic arrangements bringing a retro vibe melded with modern influences. Sound comparisons to David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Radiohead, M83, Dropa mixes and blends a plethora of electronic genres, which makes it difficult for the listener to categorize. Playing many shows and festivals in Portland the past few years including shows at Doug Fir, Crystal Ballroom, Alberta Street Fair and the Rose Festival, Dropa has been keeping busy between recording and performing.  KINK FM featured two tracks off of their debut album “A well orchestrated plan” released in 2009, OPB Radio, 94.7 KNRK and KZME 107.1 are also airing their tracks.

           Dropa is the brainchild of Micah Tamblyn who comes from a long line of entertainers and performers.  For Glass House he brought in the talents of drummer Matthew Higgins who has mastered many genre’s including Jazz Latin and rock. Dropa occasionally has players sit in for their live performances which expand the sonic, ethereal experience for the stage. Dropa’s melodies will consume your mind and will leave you dreaming.

DJ’s, Producers and label owners, Andy Riley and Laurence Ritchie (AKA Inland Knights) have created a brand name that most House heads have heard of.  Whether you like it deep , tech or more funky – when you think about Drop Music or Inland Knights a certain style of House comes to mind that is uniquely their own. Andy and Laurence’s reach is global, and their label’s continue to produce some of the finest House music 15 years after they started back in the UK, within Nottingham's party scene.

Andy and Laurence  met in ’93 and cut their teeth Dj’ing for Smokescreen, the renegade sound system from which they drew their early inspiration. Smokescreen consisted of dj’s, lighting people, sound people, a truck, a P.A, a generator and general helpers. Old warehouses, woodland, fields, quarries and houses were utilized with the sole intention of having a good time…. for free! By the mid 90’s smokescreen could guarantee a crowd of hundreds in attendance at their parties(which were most weekends), and their club nights became local institutions that ran for years with packed dancefloors. Into their 21st year, Smokescreen are still going strong and are still hosting quality club nights and parties in and around the Midlands.

By ’98 Laurence and Andy had made the inevitable step into production and the same year their fledgling label, Drop Music, was born. With the release of ‘Inland Knights vol 1’ , Riley and Ritchie undertook a busy schedule to write tracks for Drop  (almost all of the early output was Inland knights, despite many monikers). Drop Music has gone on to become one of the most highly regarded House labels in recent years (with 80 plus releases to date), and Inland Knights have gone on to become one of the most respected and prolific production outfits in the House community, carving a unique and distinctive House sound, and regularly taking on remix and Ep duties for fellow labels and producers. Highlights include the acclaimed ‘Mohammed Ali’ remix for Faithless on Cheeky Records, CD compilations and remixes for NRK and Om Records, three Ep's on 2020 Vision, Inland Knights first full length album entitled ‘Creative Spaces’, and more recently, Inland Knights album to mark 10 years of Drop Music entitled ‘Dust till Dawn’, not to mention countless Ep's on other labels over the years and a 30-minute live mix on Radio 1’s ‘Essential Selection’ show. More recently, the pair released 'Inland Bytes', a retrospective look at Inland Knights career so far.

Currently, as well as remix, production and label commitments, the pair maintain a busy international Dj schedule which takes them further and further afield as their reputation grows. Bookings have included regular slots at UK clubbing institutions such as Fabric, The End, The Egg, The Cross, Turnmills, Shindig, Back 2 Basics,  Sanky's, Chibuku Shake Shake, Ministry Of Sound, Cargo, Déjà Vu, The Arches and The Sub Club in Scotland, as well as smaller more intimate venues nationwide. Countless international trips have seen them tour the Globe. Most weekends Inland Knights can be found DJ'ing up and down the UK or Europe with regular international tours a permanent fixture in their Diaries.
