OKO is a Bristol-based artist who has firmly established herself in the Drum and Bass scene as both a DJ and producer. Her musical journey began at the age of 12, when she self-taught herself to play the guitar and sing—laying the groundwork for the distinctive sound she now creates.

Five years into her musical career, OKO has honed her production skills while mastering high-energy DJ sets. Over 2023 and 2024, she released a series of tracks that reflect her evolving sound, blending dance floor beats with liquid DnB to craft floaty, futuristic vibes. Her collaborations with vocalists have led to the creation of deep, emotive tracks that resonate on the dance floor.

OKO has graced the stages of some of the UK's most iconic venues and festivals, including Printworks, Glastonbury, and Boomtown, as well as performing internationally. She's shared the stage with DnB heavyweights like Chase & Status and Hedex, further cementing her place in the scene. Named one of UKF's "2024: ONES TO WATCH," OKO's momentum is unstoppable, and the year ahead promises even bigger achievements.

Bio:
Drum and Bass Express was created on the 19th June 2011 by Tom Westwood. It was born from the inspiration of how music was being shared online through Facebook, YouTube and Soundcloud. 

Tom found that a few pages on Facebook became a common place, and he could undoubtedly find old and new Jungle and Dnb that he'd loved since the early days of the scenes inception.
.
This stirred Tom to want to run one of those places too, and he worked tirelessly with others to make DNBE the success it has become. 

Through Soundcloud, Tom found a new outlet to compliment what the original page was doing. This was supported by a small group of quality DJ's which really kick started the success of DNBE on this media channel.
 
People in the scene were extremely helpful and Tom found himself gaining Exclusives from some of the biggest and best names: Teddy Killerz, Submatik, Zombie Cats, Mistanoize, Dieselboy, Maztek, Rregular to name a few. 

DNBE is proud to support up and coming DJ's. In fact, some of those DJ's have had a great impact on DNBE by bringing so many great mixes to the fold. This, in turn has contributed to the growth of the Soundcloud vein. So, as it always has and by way of thanks, DNBE will always continue to represent them.  
 
At the start of 2016, The DNBE Facebook page amassed well over 13'000 likes while its Soundcloud account is in excess of 25'000 followers and is growing everyday. 

It's now time to push things even further. 

DNBE realizes it has the perfect platform to start a new outlet for Jungle and DnB. Something unique among the vast galaxy of labels. They have enlisted one of the scenes existing and established producers as new partner to help bring this vision to life. The intention is to bring out regular releases that showcase the latest Jungle, Liquid, Dancefloor & Tech from well known names and shine a light on the latest talent. 

DNBExpress is proud to present brand new label  "The Express" - representing Jungle and Drum & bass in FULL.

Established in the 90s, Misstress Barbara (word play between Miss and Stress) is a pioneering DJ/Producer and one of the first female superstar DJs who helped inspire future generations with her explosive Techno sets. Whilst headlining major festivals and events globally, there was a period in the ’00s when she was consistently voted inside of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs.

Born in Italy, she moved to Canada at age 8. Curious and passionate by nature, she loves exploring new fields and reaching new goals. To name a few, she is a drummer, she has a glider and private pilot license, she graduated University in Communications/Cinema, she is a boat captain and sailing instructor, and she also launched her own bean-to-bar chocolate brand Barbon Chocolate, crafting everything by hand herself. A woman of many talents indeed.

But among all of her passions, music was always her main focus since the start of her remarkable career, which has earned her multiple accolades (2001 Best Montreal International Music Initiative Award / 2002 UK Underground Music Awards’ Best Breakthrough DJ / 2009 GAMIQ’s Best Electronic Album of the Year Awards and 2010 Canada’s JUNO Awards’ Best Dance Album of the Year nomination for “I’m No Human” / 2014 MTL Awards’ Best Montreal DJ, to name a few). Her extensive discography is found among the world’s best Techno labels, including her own, launched in 1999 under the name Relentless, which became Iturnem in 2003. Barbara Brown used to be her alter-ego used for her softer productions, but she now releases all her music under her main name, regardless of the style, as she did for her albums I’m No Human and Many Shades of Grey. This might confuse her most loyal techno fans, although they should rest assured that she will never stray away from her first true love: Techno.
