GEST is a UK-based drum and bass duo consisting of Harry Stone and David 'Gerra' (formerly known as Gerra & Stone). Rebranding in 2020, the duo aligned themselves with the prestigious Shogun Audio label, signaling a shift toward a more refined, high-definition sound.
Their music is characterized by a 'techy' and minimal approach to the genre, focusing on intricate sound design, clinical percussion, and a sophisticated use of sub-bass frequencies. Unlike the more aggressive 'neurofunk' or the softer 'liquid' styles, GEST occupies a middle ground of 'rolling' drum and bass that emphasizes groove and texture. Their work is highly regarded by technical DJs for its mixability and clarity. Critically, they are seen as part of a modern wave of producers - alongside peers like Kyrist and Hyroglifics - who are pushing the genre toward a more minimalist, architectural aesthetic. Their evolution from the more traditional sounds of Gerra & Stone to the GEST moniker represents a commitment to the 'futurism' of the UK underground electronic scene.
