Deadline (19)

Deadline are one of the most exciting next-generation acts currently making moves in drum & bass. Hailing from London, the duo formed in 2016 and have been progressively rising up the ranks ever since. Following performances at renowned UK clubs such as Printworks, Fabric, Ministry Of Sound, XOYO, E1, and international festivals Mysteryland, Outlook and Let It Roll, the pair are already widely respected within the electronic music scene for their eclectic selection and technical prowess behind the decks. This eclecticism is also channeled into their music production, drawing on a wide range of influences such as garage, jazz & orchestral music, to create their own brand of modern drum & bass. With a string of singles scheduled for release on respected labels, including Friction's Elevate Records & Pilot Records, 2020 marks the start of a new chapter for the duo. Their first instalments - 'Dominoes’ featuring D&B favourite Charlotte Haining and ‘Buttons’ featuring fellow one-to-watch Emily Makis - were released to strong support from BBC Radio 1, New Zealand's George FM and both received UKF premieres, not to mention a selection of Spotify editorial playlist inclusions. They also delivered a much-coveted guest mix for Rene La Vice’s BBC Radio 1 show.
