Intro

Polygon is a Dutch drum and bass duo consisting of Julian and Elliot, based in Utrecht. Formed in 2016, they quickly rose to prominence within the 'Liquicity' scene, a sub-movement of DnB focused on melodic, 'liquid', and uplifting sounds.

Their sound identity is defined by high production values, utilizing digital-clear synths, sidechained pads, and prominent vocal features that bridge the gap between underground dance music and contemporary electropop. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from EP-based releases like 'Duality' to more expansive, song-oriented singles that have garnered millions of streams. Culturally, they represent the modern, polished face of European DnB, often associated with peers like Andromedik and Maduk. Critical consensus highlights their technical precision and 'feel-good' aesthetic, though some purists may find their sound leans closer to pop than traditional jungle. They are essential figures for the 'new wave' of melodic DnB that dominates European summer festivals.
