Exile

Exile is a contemporary British drum and bass producer who has become a prominent figure in the 'new school' movement of the genre. Emerging with a sound that bridges the gap between the aggressive 'jump up' subgenre and the technical intricacy of jungle, Exile has built a reputation for high-production standards and high-energy output.

His work often features heavily modulated basslines, crisp, high-transient drum programming, and a keen sense of dancefloor dynamics. Since 2019, he has been prolific, releasing a string of EPs and LPs such as 'Back 2 The New Skool' and 'Alive' that have garnered support from major DJs in the UK scene. His sound identity is defined by a 'metallic' texture and a preference for digital clarity over lo-fi grit. Critically, he is viewed as a reliable purveyor of peak-time club weapons, maintaining the heritage of UK pirate radio culture while utilizing modern synthesis techniques. His position in the scene is that of a technical specialist, often collaborating with other rising stars in the D&B circuit to push the boundaries of rhythmic complexity.
