High-octane drum and bass that hits like a physical impact. Aggressive, metallic, and engineered for the loudest sound systems in the world.
Annix is a British drum and bass duo consisting of Scott Farrell (Konichi) and Mike Leeder (Decimal Bass). Formed in Cheltenham around 2012, they were quickly scouted by genre legends DJ Hype and Pascal for the iconic Playaz Recordings.
Their sound identity is defined by a high-energy fusion of jump-up's rhythmic accessibility and neurofunk's technical aggression. They are widely credited with modernizing the 'dancefloor' D&B sound, moving away from traditional jungle breaks toward highly engineered, synthetic percussion and complex, multi-layered bass synthesis. Throughout their career, they have evolved from the stripped-back, wobbling basslines of their early work to a more cinematic and industrial aesthetic seen in later releases like 'Droids'. They occupy a central position in the UK D&B scene, acting as a bridge between the underground tech-step community and the mainstream festival circuit. Critical consensus highlights their impeccable mix-downs and their influence on a younger generation of 'heavy' D&B producers who prioritize sonic impact and digital clarity.
