UKF Celebrates Full-Circle Moment With Dirtyphonics as Label Drops 100th Release
With their latest release, “Run,” we’re reminded why Dirtyphonics and UKF had the chops to go the distance. Dirtyphonics have returned to their familiar stomping grounds on UKF and delivered the label’s 100th release. It was 13 years ago when that the Australian electronic music heavyweights first landed on the then-fledgling UKF label with “Vandals,” a riotous single that we suspect would still make a splash if it were released today. Now, Dirtyphonics are holding it down for UKF’s momentous 100th release, “Run,” a record that stands as a reminder of why both the artists and the iconic imprint had the chops to go the distance. With “Run,” Dirtyphonics encapsulate high-energy drum & bass at its best. With driving r...

Five Drum & Bass Artists to Watch in 2021
Though COVID-19 threw a wrench in plans for all things music-related last year, the #DNB2020 movement, spurred by drum & bass’ rising and established talent, still proved to be an important one. Last year saw some of drum & bass’ brightest new artists step into the spotlight. Artists such as Justin Hawkes (fka Flite), REAPER, and Zeal certainly dominated, garnering support from the genre’s biggest names, like Sub Focus and Netsky. But #DNB2020 was just the beginning for others, who are set to explode in the year to come. Here are five drum & bass artists to watch out for in 2021. WINSLOW Winslow got some well-deserved recognition toward the end of 2020, when UKF began to catch wind of the stateside drum & bass producer’s penchant...

Netsky to Air Exclusive Album Livestream from ZOO Antwerpen
Netsky, ZOO Antwerpen, Beatport, UKF On Air, and Hospital Records have teamed up to bring Netsky’s “Second Nature Album Showcase” to life. Last month, drum & bass icon Netsky released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, the incredible Second Nature. Unfortunately, there cannot be an album release tour, as the world remains in a quarantined and locked down state amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Netsky found a way to share Second Nature in a beautiful way regardless. Harnessing the power of livestreaming—which most performers have taken to in lieu of live shows—Netsky will perform the “Second Nature Album Showcase” live from ZOO Antwerpen in his home country of Belgium.

A.M.C Shares Stunning 6-Deck Live DJ Set via UKF On Air
The fast-paced world of drum & bass music has always brought pure energy to the electronic music landscape. Perhaps no one in that realm knows energy better than UK-based producer and Titan Records boss A.M.C. After his scorching new album, the aptly-titled Energy, was released last year, A.M.C was also crowned by Drum&BassArena as 2019’s “Best DJ,” dethroning the legendary Andy C from his 9 year tenure. A.M.C has now shared a new video that clearly showcases why he’s worth the “Best DJ” nod not only from Drum&BassArena, but also the rest of the drum & bass world. Four-deck mixing has become nearly commonplace in drum & bass, with double drops and technical mixing being the standard for a...
