✖️ A music label devoted to hardstyle where fresh talent can flourish! ✖️

Nightbreed Records was founded in 2015 by Endymion and it quickly established itself in the world of RAW Hardstyle with a non-stop series of releases, featuring tracks from Endymion, MYST, Bass Chaserz, Degos & Re-Done, Crystal Mad & Kuzak.

Being a trio that is never afraid to develop their sound and think outside of the box, Endymion has managed to lead their pack of wolves to this refreshing new platform, where musical creativity is valued above anything else.

Nightbreed is the place where talent meets quality, darkness overpowers reality, and craziness equals the importance of extraordinary. The label showcases unadulterated raw hardstyle, sounds with a glimpse of euphoric hardstyle, or even slight influences of slow hardcore. It is a fresh and open-minded label, which is always looking for new and unique music. Once a month, the Nightbreed also take over Q-dance Radio with their We Are The Nightbreed live show, to discuss all things about raw hardstyle and play the latest and most exclusive tracks available.

WE ARE ROUGHSTATE! | ✭ THE RISE OF ROUGH ✭

No other producer packs a punch like AUDIO. From his tattooed drum & bass knuckles to his ruthlessly hard-hitting productions, Gareth Greenall embodies the spirit of D&B. Uncompromising, inherently underground and refusing to play games, the South London artist’s diligence, creativity and lack of complacency has inspired mass respect from every possible corner of the scene.

Four albums, countless 12”s and over 15 years deep into his limit-pushing adventures, Gareth continues to surge at the very forefront of the sound he’d first experienced as young Londoner tuning in to Colin Dale’s eminent Abstract Dance Kiss FM sermons. Instant jungle entrenchment: he hurled himself into the fray. Vinyls, Reason, illegal raves… The boy – whose mum brought him up on a strict diet of ABBA and Queen – grabbed any angle and any opportunity to get involved.
From ringing up and booking Ed Rush for a party above a pub in Croydon off the back of mobile number on a test press … To scoring a job as in-house studio engineer at legendary rave distributors Alphamagic where he studied the dark art of dynamics at a masters level: Audio wouldn’t – and still won’t – settle for anything less than full immersion.

His own production stripes stretch back to just after the turn of the century when he found himself at the helm of Resonant Evil. Demonstrating their power with a debut on the genre-defining Renegade Hardware, over the course of two years they scorched the repertoires of Moving Shadow, G2 and Outbreak. As Resonant Evil’s brutal bulletins wound down, Audio was winding up. Carving his own path with his own rules, he was soon snapped up by early neuro pioneers Tech Freak Recordings who gave him the opportunity to stretch himself creatively and broadcast his first long playing message. Audio’s debut album ‘To The Edge Of Reason’ showed the world he could cater for experiences beyond the dancefloor yet convey the same attitude and defiant dynamic he’d become synonymous with as a DJ and on 12”s. It was so well received; within a year he was signed by Ed Rush and Optical and for five years became an intrinsic member of the Virus family.

Audio’s work on Virus is where he really developed momentum. Already an established headliner across Europe, his productions and reputation became a global phenomenon, leading to tours in every territory. This reputation was compounded by albums such as ‘Genesis Device’ and ‘Soul Magnet’ which spawned the mighty ‘Headroom’. One of the most influential and successful tracks of its time, it knocked chart-topping EDM star Avicii off the Beatport top spot, dominating the chart for a total of 13 weeks and setting the foundation for his final Virus album ‘Force Of Nature’. Released in October 2013, it threw the scene completely off-guard… No other producer has conjured two albums of such strong-armed quality within less than a year. Just as his debut album had pricked the ears of Virus, ‘Force Of Nature’ attracted Andy C’s Ram Records.

Kindred spirits, Audio and Ram Records are a natural fit: both D&B lifers, both as emphatic and enthusiastic about the scene as they were at inception, both dedicated to pushing drum & bass to its furthest limits creatively and sonically, Audio’s decorated career has leveled up once more. To Gareth, though, it’s business as usual; still immersed in production science (now using the unique Studio One set up) and still just as buzzed about slapping a dancefloor into submission with deadly double drops as he was when he kicked off, Audio’s unique punch is harder than it’s ever been.

Following a period cultivating their fierce talent and sound on labels such as Citrus and Disturbed, Ukrainian duo
AGRESSOR BUNX struck deep into the psyche of the drum & bass scene with a series of powerful releases on
some of the most established labels of the genre, including BAD TASTE RECORDINGS, PROGRAM,
BLACKOUT and TRENDKILL. But it was their striking emergence onto premiere neurofunk label EATBRAIN with
‘The Order’ EP in 2016 that changed everything and gave Agressor Bunx a sonic family, with the brothers
refining their sound to tear a ragged furrow through the year with their rapid rise to the apex of the drum & bass
sphere.
With the duo featuring heavily on the drum & bass club circuit, they’ve seared their aesthetic deep into the hearts
and ears of ravers across Europe, quickly becoming embedded in the very core of the scene. With 2017 rolling,
the future is brighter for the pair than ever, bringing the release their collaboration with THE UPBEATS on
NOISIA's VISION label and the duo’s debut LP on Eatbrain in the form of the PROPERTIES OF ADDITION,
delivering an array of the kind of cutting-edge diverse and heavy-hitting forms of drum & bass that fans of both
Agressor Bunx and Eatbrain have come to expect. The brothers have staked out a fierce and advanced sound
field with their evolved and tech-driven funk, with their audio experimentation pulverizing speaker cones in ever
more unique ways.
