Low:r - taking things high:r and high:r with every manoeuvre. A key artist on highly respected labels such as Galacy, Liquicity, Spearhead, Soulvent and Program, his funk-fired, soul-packed signature has become more and more of a prominent flavour on the drum & bass menu since his first release in 2016.

Rooted in the rudiments, Ben Downton has always lived a musical life. As an accomplished violin player, and a member of the West Sussex Strings, he performed in cathedrals and churches across the UK throughout his teens. Swapping the bow for the bass guitar, he then played in various bands before electronic music, bass culture and the allure of the studio took over his life.Inspired by the music’s strong sense of community, and driven to constantly rise to the never-ending challenge of production, he first cut his teeth as a dubstep DJ before he developed the Low:r alias you see and hear today. 

With a name taken from a factory test unit, and an industrial strength sense of ambition and creativity to match, the Low:r sound is playfully unpredictable and dynamic but consistently charged with a widescreen sense of mischief and musicality. This is reflected both in his scene-supported releases and his DJs sets, which have ranged from shows at the iconic Brixton Electric to the renowned Liquicity Festival, Holland.

With the bookings matching his ever-expanding sound, and spreading further around the D&B-loving globe, Low:r has become a significant member of the new-generation of artists pushing the culture into exciting new directions. With each release growing in size and scale, expect the Low:r sound to become more prominent as we move into the future. Let’s take things high:r.

Unleashing the Chaos: Disciples of Distortion Vol. 4

Stonx Music is proud to announce Disciples Of Distortion Volume 4, the latest chapter in our annual series dedicated to the darker, heavier realms of drum & bass. Dropping worldwide on September 19, 2025, this year’s compilation is set to storm all major streaming platforms with unrelenting energy and precision.
A Cult of Distortion Returns

For the fourth year running, Disciples Of Distortion brings together a global roster of artists bound by their devotion to distortion, chaos, and raw power. More than just a release, this compilation is a ritual, a yearly gathering where the underground unites to unleash a torrent of basslines, precision drums, and twisted atmospheres.
Since 2020, Stonx Music has grown from a small label into a global community, pushing the boundaries of neurofunk and heavy drum & bass. Volume 4 continues this legacy, showcasing a carefully curated blend of rising talent and established names, all with one mission: to distort, disrupt, and destroy.

The Journey Into Volume 4

This year’s edition delivers 13 crushing tracks, with returning heavyweights and fresh faces contributing their most devastating work yet. From the chaotic ferocity of Anizo’s “Near Deaf”, to the mechanical grit of Direct Shift’s “Mutants”, the industrial savagery of FauxRealz, Noisesmith & Dark Adaptation’s “Horrid”, and the relentless energy of Wintour’s “Turbulence”, every track is crafted to test the limits of sound systems and stamina alike.

Also featured are dark, atmospheric cuts from Dialective, Korax, and Stonx, Hkay & Sindicate, alongside the boundary-pushing intensity of Protoss, Skorpion, and Pish Posh. Closing in with a lethal dose of funk-driven distortion, MYGR’s “Cronus” proves the perfect finale to a compilation built on chaos and community.
Disciples of Distortion Vol. 4 is more than just an album, it’s a yearly statement. A testament to the global underground. A declaration of distortion.

Experimental

After nearly eight years away, Lady EMZ makes a powerful return to DNBB Records. Teaming up with the duo Acronik, she delivers a refined yet heavy Liquid Drum and Bass, where deep basslines and sharp beats intertwine perfectly with her unmistakable voice. The lyrics add depth and emotion, reminding us why Lady EMZ has always been one of the most respected voices in the genre. This release is more than a comeback — it’s a statement of presence, marking the beginning of a new chapter. And the best is yet to come: throughout 2025, Lady EMZ has two more releases lined up on DNBB, reaffirming her place in the scene.
