High-voltage Bristol jump-up with metallic basslines and relentless breakbeats. Pure adrenaline for the gym or the darkest corner of the club.
Alex Kendrick, performing as Kendrick, is a pivotal figure in the contemporary Bristol Drum and Bass scene, specifically within the 'Jump Up' subgenre. Emerging from the vibrant UK underground, he has transitioned from a local promoter to a headline artist on major labels like Low Down Deep and Serial Killaz.
His sound identity is built on high-tempo breakbeats (typically 170-175 BPM) and a reliance on 'wobble' bass synthesis that emphasizes mid-range frequencies and aggressive modulation. Critically, he is viewed as a leader of the 'new generation' of producers who have revitalized jump-up by incorporating cleaner, digital production techniques while maintaining the genre's traditional rowdy energy. His career arc shows a rapid ascent through the Bristol circuit, bolstered by collaborations with scene veterans like Logan D. He occupies a cultural space that bridges the gap between old-school rave heritage and the modern, high-gloss festival circuit.
