The State of the Scene: Drum & Bass Meets the Mainstream
15 April 2024 - Jack Wadding
In 2024, it’s starting to feel as though you can’t move for Drum & Bass. Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, you hear the distinctly repetitive drum pattern booming out at 174 beats per minute. 
You go to the gym, DnB. 
You go to the supermarket, DnB. 
You go to the football, DnB. 
It’s becoming more and more obvious that Drum & Bass is starting to breach the limits of sub-culture and is moving dangerously close to the mainstream. For better or for worse? It’s hard to say. 
Certainly, for the DnB community, it’s a nice surprise to finally see the genre we love get some recognition, particularly given that, historically, DnB has always been the younger sibling within the bass music family, seemingly bound to reside in the shadow of House and Techno. But with the current trajectory of DnB, all might be set to change.
It’s been hard to keep track of the growing popularity of Drum & Bass over the last few years – it’s always difficult to quantify such a subjective thing as ‘popularity’. But one undeniable measure has been the number of tracks reaching the heights of the UK Charts. Over the last 24 months alone, we’ve seen the genre strongly represented by tunes like Luude’s ‘Down Under’ (5) and ‘Big City Life’ (8), Chase & Status’ ‘Disconnect’ (6) and ‘Baddadan’ (5), goddard. & venbee‘s ‘Messy in Heaven’ (3), without forgetting the most popular of them all, Kenya Grace’s ‘Strangers’, which spent three weeks at number one last October thanks to its widespread usage on TikTok.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2TaAcwC_zI?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




This rising trajectory of the genre in recent years has not gone unnoticed. Artists from a variety of different scenes have identified its potential and have taken the opportunity to invest in the rising stock that is DnB with rappers being perhaps the best example. 
While Drum & Bass has relied on the vocal talents of MCs from its very beginnings, we’re now seeing a trend of lyricists with few previous links to the genre jumping on the bandwagon, convinced either by its lucrative potential, or by a genuine musical passion driven by the quality of the genre itself. 
Who can say which is the more powerful motivator. 
Last summer, for instance, K Motionz teamed up with Reading rapper Songer to produce ‘Vino Bandit’ – a hugely popular song within the community which itself reached number 47 on the UK charts. Higher profile examples include ArrDee, who collaborated with Hedex and DnB legends Chase & Status to create ‘Liquor & Cigarettes’, and Tion Wayne who recently released ‘Lowkey’, also with Hedex. ArrDee was also seen performing with K Motionz at Drumsheds in London teasing a tune reportedly called ‘Heavyweight’, which the DJ later posted on his Instagram. 
For context, these two rappers currently total 11 million monthly listeners between them on Spotify. Even triple Brit-winner Stormzy is rumoured to have a collab with Chase & Status in the works, with clips circling on social media.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGJlu7nlikY?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




But rappers are not the only high-profile individuals aligning themselves with the growing genre. DJs, singers and celebrities are also seeing the opportunity that Drum & Bass now presents, some taking it less subtly than others. 
Indeed, just this week, Martin Garrix, perhaps the definitive example of a mainstream DJ, played Arcando’s DnB remix of The Chainsmokers’ ‘Jungle’ at Miami’s EDM festival, Ultra. 
One more baffling example was the appearance of Vikram Singh Barn (who you’ll more likely know as Vikkstar123 from the extremely popular YouTube group, The Sidemen) on stage with Bou at Studio338 last month. What’s more, the most famous individual of the same group, KSI, released ‘Not Over Yet’, a DnB track produced by Digital Farm Animals, in August 2022. 
And, believe it or not, in October of last year, Jess Glynne of ‘Rather Be’ fame released ‘Friend of Mine’, a poppy, 174-bpm track produced by none other than DnB icon Sub Focus, right as ‘Strangers’ sat at the top of the UK charts. Appealing as the song is, you have to question how well Jess Glynne and her track really fit into the world of Drum & Bass. It’s rather a challenge to imagine ‘Friend of Mine’ being played to a crowd of dedicated ravers at a well-respected venue like Manchester’s Warehouse Project, for instance. 
The same goes for KSI and ‘Not Over Yet’. Which really begs the question: who are songs like these for? Realistically they belong at the gym, the supermarket and public events.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k80GnU6218k?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




With this in mind, you have to consider the implications of such a trend on the future of the Drum & Bass scene. 
To what extent is the mainstream affecting the scene in a positive fashion? 
Without throwing around accusations of cultural appropriation, it is certainly clear that such individuals are gaining more from associating themselves with the genre than they are giving back. By now, it is clear that the size of the audience to be captured is significant. 
With Drum & Bass becoming the trending genre in mainstream music, releasing poppy, palatable tunes at 174bpm is becoming a reliable way to get your song heard on the radio and in public, making it a lucrative option.
This opportunistic approach to the genre presents quite the dilemma for those already within the scene. For many years, the Drum & Bass community has prided itself on its inclusivity, welcoming people from all sorts of backgrounds. Indeed, this is one of the factors that has contributed to the strikingly special, communal feeling almost all ravers experience, as well as the growing variety of subgenres developing within the scene. 
It’s thanks to the variety of influences being brought to the genre that new and exciting sonic palates are being pushed forward. Diversity is undoubtedly a positive influence. 
As a result, it’s particularly difficult to say who should and who shouldn’t be making Drum & Bass or publicly associating themselves with the scene. But when it comes to online celebrities, something certainly doesn’t sit right.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkjNL4dX-U4?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




Many ravers would argue that DnB’s rising popularity will finally bring it the recognition it deserves. For many years and within certain circles, revealing your love for Drum & Bass felt like confessing a sin. Even now, a large proportion of people misunderstand the genre, focussing on its largely negative stereotypes. 
Certainly, it’s refreshing to have an increasing number of positive reactions now that awareness of the genre and its complexities is growing. But the problem with this is that the Drum & Bass that hits the mainstream is generally of a certain type. Perhaps with the exception of ‘Baddadan’, the Top 10 tracks listed earlier lean generally more towards the influence of pop music. A great example of this was Becky Hill’s performance of ‘Disconnect’ at the Brits last month. I can’t have been the only one who found the X-Factor-style staging with the groups of ‘raving’ back-up dancers slightly off-putting. 
Despite the genuinely significant achievement for Chase & Status of winning the award for Best Producer, and their sincerity in their pride to “represent Drum & Bass music”, the staged production of the song felt distinctly disingenuous. Instinctively, Drum & Bass simply does not belong in this world. It belongs in clubs, festivals and warehouses.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRN8cWN_cl8?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




The greatest fear going forward, then, is the dilution of our culture. While there are undeniably a great number of benefits to the rapid growth of DnB, if things continue in this way, it’s a worrying possibility that the music that we love will be wrested from our grip by popular culture and repurposed to fit the mould that already exists. 
Fortunately, the underground community is unlikely to be affected: intimate events will undeniably continue. But large-scale events are realistically the most at-risk. It’s not impossible to imagine an influx of unknowing ‘fans’ to the festival scene as it meets popular culture. 
If Drum & Bass does indeed continue to grow at its current pace, the coming years will be particularly interesting as to how the scene develops and, while there is no one right way of doing things, no way of controlling the movement, there are undoubtedly elements of pop culture to be avoided. While it’s by no means time to panic, it’s certainly cause for concern: the celebration of the genre’s growth must be balanced with caution for its effect on the culture that is special to so many.

Get Lost in ‘States Of Euphoria’ EP by Lolah, Out Now on Bamboleo Records with Remixes by Cristina Lazic & Sascha Dive
15 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
Marking their thirtieth release, Neverdogs’ respected underground imprint Bamboleo Records welcomes Australian-born, Barcelona-based DJ/Producer Lolah with her debut EP on the label. Released on 22nd March and featuring two original cuts from Lolah, her ‘States Of Euphoria’ EP also comes with standout remixes from in-demand Milanese artist Cristina Lazic and renowned German talent Sascha Dive. 






[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1796409474" params="visual=true&show_artwork=true&maxheight=1000&maxwidth=1140" width="100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]





The EP kicks off with ‘Hypnotica,’ bringing bumpy drum grooves and glitchy percussive swing fused with a momentous bassline melody, modular sequencing, atmospheric string-led breaks and sleek musicality throughout. The title cut ‘States Of Euphoria’ comes next, delivering yet more weighty, chunky drum work and intricately layered percussive movement. Another killer vocal hook features on this one, diving in between quirky synths, organs and a vivid sub-bass melody, creating endless cadence throughout the mix.
“‘States Of Euphoria’ is a story of the euphoric states I have reached through music, the dance floor, immersed in strangers, obtaining bite size bits of wisdom that I take into my normal life. Of the global relationships we create, although cultural difference or geographical distance between us, a core fundamental understanding of one another through a simple glance or pass of hand. It is a moment of intense connection. You are not alone.” – Lolah
We move into the second half of the EP with Cristina Lazic as she delivers the first of two trademark spins, taking the original cut and reshaping it into a stripped-back, signature underground roller. Sascha Dive follows this up with his interpretation, delivering his ‘Out Of Body Experience’ remix as an immersive, pleasantly prolonged, and sonically dreamy minimal cut to round off the release.

DIØN, Emerging Dutch Techno Artist, Presents Long-awaited Hard Techno Rework of ‘Public Enemies’ on Rough Material Label
15 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
The unstoppable rise of new-age Hard Techno has brought many exciting prospects, but few have sparked as much excitement as emerging Dutch youngster DIØN. Already touring internationally and garnering the support of some of the genre’s most influential tastemakers, including Amelie Lens, Sara Landry and Fatima Haji, DIØN is set to unveil one of his most in-demand tracks as he prepares to launch the Hard Rework of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ on his Rough Material imprint on 29th March 2024. Download/stream it here: https://ffm.to/rough002. 






[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1787513545" params="visual=true&show_artwork=true&maxheight=1000&maxwidth=1140" width="100%" height="400" iframe="true" /]





A consummate Hard Techno banger laced with retro, rave-inspired sounds, this reimagination of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ perfectly embodies everything that has made DIØN one of the genre’s most appealing breakthrough talents. Building around its core of pounding kicks and relentless percussive drive, the track’s continuum of unpredictable variations, especially its nostalgic rave siren sequence, make it an unparalleled peak-time stomper, built solely for demanding dancefloors and potent sound systems. 
The original version of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ has been a definitive indicator of DIØN’s exponential popularity, racking up several million streams across all available platforms and breaking into Beatport’s illustrious Top 100. With big boots to fill, 2024’s long-awaited revamp of his most significant release has already started to spark hype amongst his fans and the wider Techno community. Just as he did with the original, the Hard Rework of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ has featured exclusively in DIØN’s sets for months, making it the only place anyone has heard it. The intense and continuous demand for an official release date, which stretches back deep into DIØN’s jam-packed 2023 gig schedule, clearly indicates how sought-after his anthemic releases and undeniably memorable performances are fast becoming. 
Further adding to the occasion and marking a monumental second release on his Rough Material imprint, DIØN has also designed a limited number of label-branded ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ Bomber Jackets, Hoodies, and T-shirts to be released alongside the single on 29th March.

Rave Legend Slimpatt’s Slip Back In Time Returns To Ibiza
15 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
Seminal rave legend, Slipmatt, is heading to Ibiza once again this summer with Slip Back In Time presents Old Skool Ibiza 2024. 
Taking place over a week from 15th – 22nd May in venues including Eden, Es Paradis, Ibiza Rocks, Itaca, Casanova Summum and more, Old Skool Ibiza brings together an up-for-it community of lifelong ravers for a week of DJs by the pool, club nights and the best tunes from across the decades. 
DJs lined up include some of the biggest names from back in the day, including Slipmatt, K-Klass, Shades Of Rhythm, Ratpack, Utah Saints, Brandon Block, Alex P, Mark Archer (Bizarre Inc / Altern-8), Rob Tissera, Nicky Blackmarket, Graham Gold, Marcella Woods and many more – over 100 DJs and artists on the lineup.  
Back in the 90s, Slipmatt played weekly residencies at Eden, Summum, and a small club called Nightlife at the bottom of San Antonio’s West End – one of the original Ibiza clubs that played Acid House. This was where Slip Back In Time began. As someone who has travelled to Ibiza hundreds of times over the last 30 years, Matt brings unrivalled experience to Old Skool Ibiza, an annual event that has developed into a welcoming community based on a love of old skool music and parties.
Slipmatt comments, “Every year Slip Back In Time Presents Old Skool Ibiza gets better and better. The music, the people, the atmosphere – we’ve got it bang on which is why our community keeps growing and coming back every year. It’s so much fun!”
Slip Back In Time Presents Old Skool Ibiza guests can join an all-inclusive week, staying anywhere between 3 and 7 days. All packages include a welcome pack, hotel accommodation, food, drink and free entry to everything (except the boat party). The event takes place at the San Remo and S’Estanyol, two hotels that are linked together as one complex, allowing everyone to hang out with each other as much as they like. The hotels are right next to the beach, and each has a pool to relax and socialise. The tunes start with perfect vibes from midday. For any guests who might want to stay in their own villa Slip Back In Time also offers tickets for night time club event entry only.
The Poolside vibes continue all week with added extras from Peach on 19th May, Eruption Radio on 20th May and then the official ‘Rave Awards’ on 21st May – an annual tongue-in-cheek special that hands out awards to the biggest ravers of the week. 
Friday 17th May sees the daytime boat party ‘Slip-Wrecked’ set sail from the pier outside the San Remo Hotel at 1pm for a 4 hour rave on the waves, with Ratpack, Nico & Dean, Rob Tissera and more. 
As always, things get naughty when the sun goes down and 2024 promises some quality collaborations for guests to enjoy. Slip Back In Time hooks up with Culture Shock at Casanova Summum for the opening party on 15th May, then Bingo Bango & We Love Ibiza at Ibiza Rocks on 16th May. 
On 17th May Slip Back In Time celebrates its 24th birthday with The White Party at Es Paradis, then it’s Slip Back In Time Meets Amnesia House on 18th. The big collab on the 19th is with Peach at Eden, and on 20th May Slip Back In Time Meets Housework at Itaca Ibiza. 
It’s back to Casanova Summum for the final blowout – Slip Back In Time Meets Rave House for the closing party on 21st May. 
Slip Back In Time Presents Old Skool Ibiza is like nothing else on the white isle. This is the rave generation that never grew up, open and friendly, and embracing the old skool, up-for-it attitude. With a ‘who’s who’ line up of quality DJs dropping the best old skool and rave house it’s an unforgettable experience.
A 7-day trip starts at just £645 all-inclusive (based on 3 sharing for the full 7 nights – flights not included). More information on events and booking can be found at www.slipbackintime.com.

From Mix to Mainstage – The Blueprint for Emerging Electronic Artists
12 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
During a live presentation at their Toolroom Academy Live event in London, “From Mix to Mainstage – The Blueprint for Emerging Electronic Artists”, has now released the full findings of their newly commissioned report. Produced for Toolroom Academy by Rufy Ghazi and David Boyle – head of Audience Strategies – who has previously built global analytics and data insight capabilities for major companies including the BBC and EMI Music, and has used data to help elect a prime minister and a president.
“We have sensed a frustration among our student community that despite doing the hard yards of production and contributing great music to the scene, this effort was not mirrored with opportunity in return. Our feeling was that the gap between our student’s ambitions, and the opportunities to build sustainable careers in electronic music, seemed far too wide.” – Miles Shackleton
Working closely with hundreds of students who have graduated through the various courses and mentorship schemes offered by their Academy, Toolroom has a unique insight into the perspective of talented artists struggling to carve a sustainable career for themselves in what is a multi-billion-dollar industry. 
The report is a direct response to this, providing a deeper comprehension of the industry dynamics, identifying barriers emerging artists face, and offering valuable insights, directions, and a targeted approach to strategy development for emerging artists.
“The report is an important step towards fixing a key problem we have identified at Toolroom Academy. That new artists who contribute the music – the lifeblood of the scene – face considerable challenges when attempting to turn their passion into sustainable careers. The report outlines a number of strategies for success, and suggests what role the wider industry should play in supporting emerging talent.” – Miles Shackleton
Based on data collected from over 250 new artists, alongside 1:1 interviews with a variety of established artists, educators, and industry professionals, the report provides a clear understanding of the challenges, experiences, and strategies used by electronic music artists. Whilst the responses largely paint a picture of resilience, versatility, and the blending of passion with pragmatism, strikingly, the report found that 76% of new artists feel that their career is not financially sustainable, whilst 62% say they struggle to grow an online audience.
With 88% of the artists surveyed expressing difficulty in understanding algorithms and developing promotional strategies, the barriers emerging artists face are much broader than the ability to produce great music. 
For those DJs and producers struggling with understanding the algorithm and what to post on social media take our free 30 Day Content Strategy Training here -> https://bit.ly/30DayIGContent
Issues faced range from practical concerns around networking, collaborations, and marketing/promotion, to the emotional and physical effects of burnout and the impact of rejection on mental health.
The findings are presented alongside direct strategies for growth and a call for solutions that can be adopted across areas of the industry responsible for education, mentorship, and networking. From demystifying entry points and industry roles to providing targeted educational initiatives that bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world experience, the report offers a clear pathway towards real, meaningful change that can be implemented across the music industry.
“Our future objective at the Toolroom Academy is to truly understand and support new electronic music artists. We aim to evolve and adapt in order to meet our students’ needs in an ever-changing industry. The report concludes with strategies to shape music education for the future; focusing on networking, brand-building, industry acumen, and resilience, alongside providing hands-on experiences and industry-relevant content. This report will provide the intellectual basis for our evolution as an educational business over the coming years.” – Miles Shackleton
The report was launched at Toolroom Academy Live – an event aimed at supporting emerging talent featuring a full day of talks, workshops, and panels from guests including Danny Howard, Defected’s Wez Saunders, and Mark Knight.

Renegade Riddims: Dr Woe
12 April 2024 - DT DNB
Hailing from Berlin, Dr Woe embarked on his journey in music production at a young age, honing his skills over the years. In 2016, as co-founder of Insomnius Music, he made his mark with the release of his debut EP, ‘The Insomnius’, on his own label.
Since 2004, Dr Woe has been renowned for his dynamic Drum & Bass sets, captivating audiences with a blend of rolling darkside beats, deeper styles, and gritty Neurofunk. Through his acclaimed mix series, “The Rolling Woe Show” spanning over a decade, he has showcased his versatility, guaranteed to elevate heart rates.
In 2018, he launched the podcast and event series “Keep Da Bass Rollin”, further solidifying his presence in the scene. Dr Woe has graced stages alongside notable artists such as Allied, Audio, Cause 4 Concern, Counterstrike, and Phace, among others.
Beyond Drum & Bass, Dr Woe’s creative passion extends to genres like Hip Hop, Trip Hop, and Ambient. Whether as one half of the duo Scary Woods or under his solo moniker Moonshyna, he remains prolific in his production endeavours.
Not only a musician, but Dr Woe is also an active event organizer, contributing his talents as a member of The Outrider Crew. Additionally, he serves as a graphic designer and resident DJ for the Hamburg-based Bass Forward The Revolution Crew.
Dr Woe joins us on our Renegade Riddims series with a brand new and exclusive video mix! He’s stripped the audio too so you can also listen on SoundCloud. The mix tops in at 1hr 30miins and features music from the likes of himself,  Pythius & Black Sun Empire, Erb n Dub, Yatuza & Cosmickat, Mako & Seba, Enei, Calux, Section 63, Calibre, Outrage, Break & SP:MC, Ed Rush and a load more!

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
A journey through all styles of DnB to represent my sound.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Dom & Roland – Burn Bright (Individual Recordings).
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
My new Tape Echo pedal effect with foot pedal to adjust the feedback.
Tell us about your next EP… 
Right now I’m releasing two tracks that reflect two sides of my DnB personality. The first one is more driving and true school Neurofunk-like while the second one is more of a deep and bass-heavy roller to reflect my deeper side. Both are produced and recorded using a bunch of old and new hardware and mixed and mastered using the best of modern software technology, as I like to combine the best of both worlds. The two tracks both take you on a journey in very different directions and sound very different too.
What have you got coming up?
A: I’m currently working with interesting feature guests on my first album, which will be released next year. We are also currently taking our Insomnius Music label, which I run together with Violet Core, to the next level with great new artists and releases. As the second half of the Scary Woods Duo, I’m proud to announce that we also have some fresh tunes that will be released this year. In addition, I am part of two event organizer crews and we are planning a bunch of nice events in Hamburg this year. Shoutouts to my Bass Forward The Revolution Crew, the Keep Da Bass Rollin´ movement and of course The Outrider Crew!
When was the last time you actually raved?
Last week at my Keep Da Bass Rollin´ party in my neighbourhood in Hamburg.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
To all artists: do what feels right and what makes your heart leap, don’t try to be someone people expect you to be or to sound like the big players on the top, individuality is the key to creative fulfillment, not the other way around. To all DnB lovers: please support the underground and keep on looking for new talents and new styles, there is still so much to discover out there, just give some unknown names a chance from time to time! Peace!

Skalator Music are back with M:Pathy and his ‘Frustration’ EP
12 April 2024 - DT DNB
Following a longer-than-expected hiatus from releasing new music, Skalator Music are thrilled to unveil their 31st release, courtesy of the highly talented producer M:Pathy with his ‘Frustration’ EP. For those who have been following the collective’s trajectory, M:Pathy’s name may ring a bell, having made his debut with them in 2017 with the distinguished single ‘Anticipation / Pressure’.
With previous releases on esteemed labels such as Terabyte Recordings, Engage Audio, and Lost Recordings, the ‘Frustration’ EP marks a significant milestone in M:Pathy’s career. This collection of tracks is the product of the artist’s perseverance through various creative challenges, and the collective couldn’t be prouder to bring it to light.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTZZRO4sJvw?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=855]




Comprising four meticulously crafted tracks, including collaborations with J-DOK and Lost Content, the EP showcases M:Pathy’s versatility across the 170 BPM spectrum. From the familiar deep roller vibes of ‘Greaze’ featuring J-Dok to the brooding atmospherics of ‘Procure’ with Lost Content, each piece exhibits a distinct facet of the artist’s skill set.
With its trademark percussive stabs and ominous bassline, ‘Frustration’ encapsulates M:Pathy’s unique sound, while ‘Recovery’ delivers a mesmerizing fusion of techno and bass music. The collective is eager to witness the impact of these tracks as they reverberate across the airwaves and captivate audiences worldwide. This is an EP not to be overlooked.
Today we premiere M:Pathy and Lost Content ‘Procure’ which you can check out below. M:Pathy’s ‘Frustration’ EP drops via Skalator Music on Friday 19th April, make sure you grab a copy from here!
