We’re happy to invite 5 expert producers from the drum and bass world: Edlan, Dave Owen, BassBrothers, Molecular, and the opportunity for you to choose what artist you would like to see as our 5th artist.
They will hold workshops, masterclasses, presentations, and talks about their career progression and share invaluable tips and advice on how to succeed in the music world.
We believe that by getting away from your regular routine, fully focusing on your music, and surrounding yourself by amazing mentors and like minded producers you will accelerate your growth and kick-start your career as an artist.
Drum & Bass producer and DJ from Indianapolis, United States
Over the past few years, Dave Owen has risen to become one of the most highly sought after drum-n-bass producers in the United States. By signing to legendary labels such as Good Looking Records, Metalheadz, and RAM, his soulful sensibilities have caught the attention of the genre’s upper echelon including LTJ Bukem, Fabio, Grooverider, John B, and several others
Working his magic for the last two years on Fokuz Recordings, the mighty Liquicity and with a debut release on Pilot Records, he has deservedly made a name for himself with sensational pieces like “One Way Home”, “Shadow” featuring Emy Perez, the incredible “Ravine” EP, the outstanding remix of Smote’s classic “My World”, and his recent release “Intercept” alongside Bert H. Having already worked alongside highly respected names within the genre, the immensely popular UKF touted him as being “one to watch” throughout 2018.
An interesting array of influences ranging from 30’s jazz and swing music to Hip- Hop and Funk has resulted in an eclectic blend of old school ferocity with new school originality. Their ability to fuse genres in an emotive and contemporary fashion is what sets Bass Brothers apart from the rest of the pack. They have proclaimed themselves that they are ‘inspired by the music of the past doing the music of the future’. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for future releases from Bass Brothers on Playaz!
Don't be mistaken by how fresh Molecular is to the scene. His sound design and productions are getting recognized by some of the biggest names in the industry. Having released on labels such as Counterpoint and Fokuz Recordings, he has already made a strong statement to the drum and bass scene with a style that has a strong groove with heavy hitting bass. 2020 will be an exciting year for this artist.
