Been a while since we made a liquid tune and this has been a little while in the reserve tank. A nice mellow guitar tune for a lovely sunny Friday!

R&D - In The Beginning (D&B)

An odyssey through sound, my musical journey began in the heart of the 90s, as I rhymed and rhythm-ed with a Hip Hop band. From those early beats, I embarked on an exhilarating expedition that traversed the sonic landscapes of Rock, Metal, Techno, and the electrifying universe of Rave.

But it wasn't until I stumbled upon Drum'n'Bass that my heart truly found its rhythm. The energy, the intricate melodies, the relentless pulse – I fell head over heels in love with this genre.

In my creative laboratory, I'm not content with boundaries or genres. I'm a sonic explorer, a genre alchemist, blending the musical DNA of all these influences to forge a style and sound that's utterly unparalleled and uniquely mine.

Join me on this journey through the corridors of sound, where genres merge, rhythms collide, and music transcends. Welcome to my ever-evolving musical world." 🎶🌌🔊

Just a couple of self taught mates sharing the inner workings of their minds. We spent our youth as Dj's and Rappers. Listened to everything from D&B to UKG, Trance, Happy Hardcore, Helter Skelter and various other genres of Dance music. Much of our inspiration has come from producers such as Dj Zinc, Ed Rush and Optical, Pendulum, Total Science, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Dj SS, Hazard, Sub Focus, Twisted Individual, Smooth, Noisia, SpOr and more recently Metrik, Andromedik, Grafix and many many more.
In this ocean of music we are just trying to find our way and be heard. Hopefully we can create tunes that will resonate with our listeners.

R&D

Ive been making music for a while but mostly for school. Have ProTools cert. Finished my classes. I’m mostly a Logic Pro user. I grew up using garage band. If anyone would like to remix my music message me.

NBC9 released his second full-length album State of Control on September 19, 2025, a record that defines his cinematic, bass-driven take on drum and bass. The album follows his 2024 return and marks a key milestone in a journey that has reestablished him as a progressive force in the genre.

This December, he delivers Fragments 2.0, a major follow-up to the original Fragments project. The new release features remixes from @user-449697299, @Psidream, @quoonemusic, @Omneum, @brukout_ca, @iconsdnb, the-mind-hackers, @djNORTY, @YASUKI1214, @d0shi-music, and @diodeofficial— each reinterpreting tracks from State of Control through their own lens, spanning deep, dark, and high-energy variations of drum and bass. Like its predecessor, which showcased Exile, YASUKI, Xtinctor, Lunatronic, AGRO, Irontype, and JRace & Albert White, Fragments 2.0 continues NBC9’s vision of connecting global artists through shared sonic experimentation.

As the head of Embassy 9 Recordings, NBC9 has created a home for his own output as well as a space for collaborators to explore forward-thinking drum and bass. His productions are designed with a dual purpose: to resonate in personal listening settings and to hit with power on dancefloors.

Before his return to drum and bass, NBC9 built an underground reputation under the name Influenza in the early 2000s nu skool breakbeat scene. Releases on Pure Funk, Illeven Eleven, Sponge, and Epidemic reached audiences across North America and the UK, with his music played in iconic venues such as Fabric London.

Two decades on, NBC9 stands with more clarity and intent than ever, blending experience with innovation to drive a sound that continues to evolve.
