A brand new Drum and Bass Record Label. Founded in 2026 by DJ K-Lyde, a 30-year veteran of the Dance Music Industry with a passion for underground Drum and Bass. A label dedicated to showcasing dark, atmospheric, and forward-thinking music.
We believe the strongest records are those that create tension, emotion, and atmosphere—not just loud drops. Our catalogue brings together producers who value originality, precision, and powerful sound design.
From emerging talent to established artists, every release represents our commitment to quality over quantity.
If you’re looking for music that lives in the space between darkness and emotion, you’ve found the right place. Our mission is simple: provide a home for artists creating dark, atmospheric Drum and Bass without creative compromise.
We’re here to support artists who aren’t afraid to experiment, push boundaries, and explore the shadows of electronic music. Whether it’s cinematic soundscapes, stripped-back minimalism, or crushing neuro-inspired rhythms, our focus remains the same: authentic music with depth.
