Trouble & Bass

Trouble happens every time the Brooklyn-based crew of Drop The Lime, Math Head, Star Eyes and The Captain get together to throw one of their legendary, quasi-illegal parties. Bass is everything, whether the backbone of releases on their T&B label or the driving force of their ballistic, sweat-inducing DJ sets – all timeless rhythms, unforgettable melodies, and surprise after speaker-quaking surprise. If you’ve been missing the raw energy that made electronic music so exciting in the first place, this is where it’s been hiding.

Riot inciter Drop The Lime (T&B, Institubes) formed the Voltron-like T&B a mere two years ago, but already they’ve earned kudos the world over; getting hype from heavyweight DJs Diplo, Sinden, Switch, Tayo and Dexplicit, unequivocal support from superclub Fabric London and big plays from BBC 1Xtra’s Mista Jam and Radio One’s Annie Mac, with Drop The Lime producing a jaw-dropping 5 minute mega mix for Annie Mac’s “Mash Up” show. T&B (now on its eighth release) has been voted one of the best up ‘n’ coming labels by XLR8R Magazine and F.A.C.T. (UK) and has been featured worldwide in magazines like Serie B (Spain) and Dazed & Confused (UK). Despite teetering on the brink of massive success, acclaim and yacht ownership the crew isn’t afraid of taking chances, and their output is truly a reflection of their DIY Drum & Bass and Punk roots as they do all the production, graphic design, and promotion for their events and label by their goddamn selves.
