UBBTA - Unglued
Unglued
From underground ravers to top-tier DJs, one name has been making waves across the drum & bass scene—Unglued.
Bursting onto the radar in 2017 with Ay! on the Hospitality In The Park compilation, he wasted no time in leveling up with Bootstrap Bill, a track that tore through dancefloors worldwide. Heavyweights like Andy C, Danny Byrd, and Randall championed his sound, while BBC Radio 1’s René LaVice, Metrik, and Noisia amplified his presence on the airwaves.
Unglued cemented his status in 2018 with the most coveted dubplate of the year—his
bootleg of High Contrast’s If We Ever sent shockwaves through the scene, propelling him into the upper echelons of drum & bass.
The momentum only grew in 2019 when Annie Mac named Born In 94 (feat. MC Conrad) the hottest record in the world, leading to a prime-time BBC Radio 1 mini-mix, A Brief History of Breakbeat. His genre-blending prowess culminated in his debut album, Interplanetary Radio, a fusion of jungle, jazz, funk, soul, and hardcore that dominated playlists and radio stations alike. A-list DJs such as High Contrast, Doc Scott, Flava D, and Sigma backed the project, while tastemakers like Gilles Peterson, René LaVice, and Shadow Child pushed it to wider audiences.
Unglued carried his signature sound into 2022 with the Interplanetary Remixes EP, enlisting Fixate for a jungle-fueled rework of Total XTC and Halogenix for a soulful liquid spin on Way Back When (feat. Esther Durin). He also dropped a VIP of his breakbeat anthem H to the A to the R to the D to the C to the O to the R to the E, proving his ability to reinvent and refine his high-energy sound.
Continuing to push boundaries, his bass-heavy weapon Secret Foghorn landed on Bou’s Gossip imprint, sending shockwaves through the rave scene. Fresh off a record-speed sell-out New Zealand tour with labelmate Degs, Unglued is solidifying his place as one of drum & bass’s most exciting artists. Known for his unpredictable, high-energy DJ sets that blur genre lines with ruthless precision, he’s carving out his legacy—one relentless blend at a time.
