dBridge has played an important role in the UK Drum & Bass scene since the genre's conception in the early 1990s. Since founding Exit Records in 2003, he has demonstrated a clear desire to move away from typical club style Drum & Bass sounds to more ambient and experimental soundscapes. Enjoy!

For this week’s episode of CENTER BOOTH we welcome Pessimist: a Bristol mainstay, Ilian Tape affiliate and drum & bass innovator whose shadowy take on the genre often blurs the line with techno and dark ambient. Known for stark atmospherics, rolling percussion, broken beat wizardry and an uncompromising ear for an ominous mood, Pessimist has been a star attraction at cutting-edge events and clubs around the world for close to a decade, from Draaimolen to Club Night Club to Tresor to M.O.T.

His CENTER BOOTH set sinks its teeth in stealthily. The opening rolls in like fog — bass-heavy and understated — before giving way to tougher, militant steppers and half-time passages that shift the ground beneath your feet, slowing the body down without ever breaking the flow. There are no cheap tricks here, no fireworks or easy drops — instead the intensity builds little by little, drawing you deeper into a tunnel of bass and rhythm.

By the final stretch, the momentum softens into foggy ambience, a release that feels earned after the hour’s relentless grip. Minimalist and crushing, haunted and propulsive, it’s a set for locked-in heads and late-night spaces, where subtlety hits harder than spectacle, and the sound of an artist who understands not just how to move a floor, but how to reshape the room around him.
