Somewhere near the intersection of liquid funk and atmospheric/dub tech, you'll find the artist called Insideman. Firmly tethered to the techno and ambient textures of late-1990's deep drum-n-bass, but with an eye on breakbeat futurism, his sound is both a spectre from the past and a vision for what could be; breaking through as a DJ on London’s vibrant pirate radio scene in the late 90s, he quickly became a fixture in the club and warehouse rave scene in Southern England before establishing shows on Bassdrive and Point Blank FM (and now fully licensed on DAB Radio). Those shows still thrive, a testament to his consummate skills as a selector. But more importantly, his own extensive catalogue of releases on a myriad of labels such as Influence Records, Locked Up Music, Flight Pattern, Default Recordings, Omni Music, Onward Music, Beats In Mind,  Soul Deep Recordings, FX 909 Music, Sub-Label, Think Deep, Liquid Brilliants, and Deconstructed, transform his sets into extensions of his singular sonic vision, which continues to grow and evolve.

Philth : Drum & Bass from the deep end.

Since releasing his 100th track in 2017 Philth said he stopped counting, but the prolific artist has shown no sign of slowing down and continues to release music which reaches across the drum & bass scene, from smooth sultry grooves to tweaked-out tech stompers. The array of labels Philth has released on demonstrates his versatile sound: crew-status at Dispatch & Integral; tracks for scene stalwarts Spearhead, CIA, Playaz, Renegade Hardware, Chronic & Fokus; and regular appearances on next-gen imprints Flexout, Lifestyle and Peer Pressure.

The last few years have seen a stream of collaborative projects, including the chart-topping ‘Babylon Sound’ EP with Bredren, deep soul voyages with Phil Tangent as Phil:osophy and the ribcage crushing ‘Heimlich EP’ with long-term associate Wreckless. Connections with MC Fats, Collette Warren, Sense MC and Becca Jane Grey have affirmed his deft touch with vocals and ability to bring emotive songs to the dancefloor, demonstrating his versatility while maintaining consistency across his steady output.

But all the while he has been cherry-picking his favourites and hoarding a vast body of work, now ready to be unleashed as his debut album on Dispatch Recordings. ‘Moments in Time’ is made up of two LP’s of music, and displays the full range of the Philth sound while exploring new depths of emotion and ambient soundtrack-inspired works. Some of the usual suspects are called in for collaborations and vocal features, but there is a deeply personal streak running through the album with soul-searching vocals alongside the powerful basslines. Supported on dub by Goldie and road-tested by Philth & Ant TC1 over the last year, ‘Moments in Time’ can be now heard in the sets of long-time supporters Bailey, Marky, Randall, Artificial Intelligence and the extended Dispatch family. The album showcases an artist on top of his game and will surely elevate Philth into the upper reaches of the genre.

Known for his energy and commitment on three CDJ’s, Philth presents the drum & bass he loves in his own unique way, his sets veering from future soul to pulsating tech-funk in the blink of an eye - keeping audiences on their toes from start to finish with a mixture of smooth blends, sudden switches and his trademark razor sharp cuts. The longer he plays, the deeper he digs, always happy to resurrect the rolling Wormhole sound that inspired him from an early age. Based in London, in recent years he has toured the US and Australia along with regular trips across Europe’s club circuit and all over the UK. Wherever his music has taken him Philth has travelled with boundless enthusiasm and an arsenal of exclusive material. A true DJ who lives for the art of mixing.

A legendary DJ with his fingers firmly on the pulse since the 1980s, Fabio, along with DJ partner Grooverider, has been at the forefront of dance music since the emergence of acid house and an essential force in the transition from rave music into hardcore and eventually drum & bass.

 

From the infamous Rage parties to the Speed era, the Swerve nights at The End, Fabio deserves his title as drum & bass' godfather, already considered an essential tastemaker by the 90s, before going on to pioneer the 'liquid funk' sound. His label Creative Source released over 50 12” singles and 4 albums, and was the label that introduced Calibre among many other now seminal artists to our scene.

 

An ambassador for the genre since the start which included his 14 year show on BBC Radio 1 alongside Grooverider. Fabio remains an important figurehead and a festival regular, with highly revered DJ sets across genres, playing just as comfortably alongside Gilles Peterson & Artwork as he does with Goldie & LTJ Bukem.

Point Blank FM - The UK's Longest Running House &amp; Dance Music Radio Station, after 20 years, gives birth to Point Blank Music.

Heist, also known as Strider if you’re looking to go way back into his discography, has been dominating, innovating and revolutionising speaker bins for 20 years now. No matter the year, his tunes always felt relevant, yet discernibly his, and in many cases were integral in pushing the limits of the Drum and Bass spectrum a bit further and a bit deeper than the status quo. His sound has travelled the ins and outs of the Drum and Bass super-highway many times, maturing as it grew from its humble yet bad and bashy beginnings found on classics like ‘Company 7’, ‘Beetle juice’, ‘Philly Styler’ and ‘Iron Hide’.

Also a badboy DJ for just as long (longer than heist in fact - he was dj’ing in the early 90’s under a different synonym). It’s tunes like ‘Go to work’, Sleep in ya eyes and ‘Don’t hold back’ as well as his high-octane DJ sets, that propelled him into super-stardom way-back-when. And in the minds of many, solidified Heist as a bonafide legend resulting in too many collaborations, endorsements and appearances to list. 
Having graced the catalogues of many iconic, foundational labels like Playaz, Charge, Ganja, V, Digital Soundboy, Frontline, Full Cycle, Philly Blunt, Low down deep and Metalheadz! All one needs to do to understand why Drum and Bass royalty like Dillinja, Hype, and Goldie, took notice so early on is…listen. Listen to any of it! It’s as though Heist had the foresight to be as fastidious about what he released to others as he has been about what he releases on his own signature imprints, Sumo Beatz, Calypso and Co-Lab.

Receiving previous critical acclaim whilst engineering for DNB forefather and legend, Goldie, as well as on his own celebrated productions, Heist has found a home for most of his current output on two-time award-winning label, Low Down Deep Recordings. Big things are coming on the label from Heist, like the cheeky ‘Bug Patrol’ and also ‘Felt Rich’ both doing dance floor damage from a host of DJ’s and support on BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM amongst other radio stations for both of these tracks and most likely more Heist bangers! Some exciting future projects are also in the works for a few labels that have yet to see the likes of Heist...The return of Sumo Beatz is also in store, with a bunch of ‘select cuts’ he has been just waiting to get out there on his own label. If history serves, there’s truly no telling what Heist will cook up next or how hard his freshly-brewed baselines will hit, but the future does look bright for the now DNB legend, to say the very least. With a plethora of music in the works as well as tour dates across Europe and the globe actively brewing in the cauldron, 2025 is looking deadly.
