DR. APOLLO – BIOGRAPHY
In January of 2019, the Dr. Apollo project took a life of its own after his first release (Red with Dip Vertigo) on the legendary Hospital Records on their annual Sick Music compilation. He then started collaborating with another DnB icon Reid Speed on tracks like Electrotherapy feat. Evil Dom and Gaia as well as his debut EP Antivirus on Play Me Records. This led to Billie Eilish giving him and Dip Vertigo the official DnB remix of her #1 hit single Bad Guy which released on Bassrush.s.

10 STATESIDE DNB PRODUCERS YOU NEED TO KNOW! (Part 2)

Drum & Bass has always been a music genre that is predominantly dominated by the United Kingdom and Europe but times are definitely changing as artists based in the United States are becoming more prevalent than ever before. 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 two of our continued series and we will be back soon with another talented group of US DNB producers.

DR APOLLO & DELA MOON ARE A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN! – MUST LISTEN

Ridda — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 02:46:01 +0000

'RADIO HEROES' - T.R.A.C. (VIDEO PREMIER) - MUST WATCH

Los Angeles based musicians Dr Apollo and dela Moon (Formerly Dela Moontribe) have teamed up and what has come out is the pure halftime magic we all didn’t know we needed right now.

Their two track Suntherapy/Moontherapy EP has been steadily climbing the Beatport Halftime chart since it’s release and is being backed by some of the biggest names in the industry.

Both tracks have hard hitting basslines backed my amazing synth work that fills the extra space between perfectly crafted drums. These halftime tunes are perfect for any set and should definitely be a part of all DNB DJ’s repertoire.

Dr Apollo

dela Moon

dela Moon (formerly dela Moontribe) is a resident and organizer of the Moontribe Collective, whose legendary full moon gatherings have long been at the core of Southern Californias underground electronic music scene. Though renowned today for her fiery dnb/halftime sets, she has also been long been recognized for her deep, funky, and psychedelic downtempo sets. More recently, she has expanded her range into Berlin-inspired techno. Drawing these progressive influences into each environment she faces, her sets are infused with energy and raw emotion that surpasses the thresholds of any single genre.
