About

Vampire Records is the brainchild of Phil Source (aka Phil Aslett), a pioneering figure in drum and bass and one half of the legendary Source Direct. Founded to push the boundaries of DnB across all styles, Vampire Records blends old-school heritage with forward thinking sounds. With roots tracing back to 1992 and releases on iconic imprints like Metalheadz, Mo' Wax, and Good Looking, Phil brings decades of innovation and underground credibility to the label. Vampire has become a platform for both seasoned producers and fresh talent, known for deep, cinematic atmospheres, fierce breakbeats, and uncompromising quality.
