10 STATESIDE DNB PRODUCERS YOU NEED TO KNOW! (Part 3)
we are back with another installment of our ’10 DNB Stateside Producers” series and for part 3 we dove deep and found a whole lot of artists that you need to know about if you don’t already!
As stated before, Drum & Bass has always been a music genre that is predominantly dominated by the United Kingdom and Europe but times are definitely changing! With US based artists releasing records on major labels, traveling and performing throughout the UK and EU, the US is no longer just thought as a touring stomping ground for international acts but a Nation with a growing fan base and a hungry new generation of talented producers.
Generally overlooked by promoters, party goers and the general public, the United States has quietly and quickly produced an excess of talented artists from coast to coast that the world definitely needs to know about. In fact, there are so many amazing artists that deserve to be recognized, this is part three of our continued series and we will be back soon with another talented group of US DNB producers.
