As a DJ and producer central to Bristol’s contemporary prominence, Drone has been pushing a sound all of his own for the past few years, regularly genre hopping while retaining a sub-heavy, 808-laden coherence within his productions and selections, as anyone who has caught one of his sets can attest to.

With his production work for labels such as System, Sector 7 and Coyote blurring the boundaries of trap, grime and dubstep, while enjoying support from the likes of Mala, V.I.V.E.K and Kahn, it seems Drone’s inimitable sounds are becoming favoured by both scene stalwarts and club-goers: an admiration which looks set to grow as he continues to produce thoughtful and original music that promises a reaction in the club.
