Aggressive, mechanical drum and bass that feels like a factory coming to life. High-octane neurofunk for peak-hour intensity and heavy gym sessions.
Audio, the alias of Gareth Greenall, is a cornerstone of the UK's harder drum and bass scene. Emerging from the underground rave culture of the early 90s, his sound was fundamentally shaped by the 'Wormhole' era of Virus Recordings, a label he would eventually join.
His career arc moved from the raw, hardware-driven experiments of Resonant Evil to a polished, high-fidelity solo career on prestigious labels like RAM Records and Snake Pit. Greenall is a central figure in the 'Therapy Sessions' movement, representing the darker, more aggressive end of the D&B spectrum. His technical identity is defined by 'the Audio snare' - a distinctive, punchy mid-range snap - and complex, multi-layered bass synthesis. Critical consensus positions him as a bridge between the classic techstep of the late 90s and the hyper-engineered neurofunk of the 2010s. He is widely respected for his consistency and his refusal to dilute his sound for mainstream appeal, maintaining a 'cult' status while achieving significant commercial success within the genre.
