Biografía
Napes makes jungle and drum & bass with a strong grime accent: broken rhythms, forceful low end and space for MCs are integral to his music. The London-based, Bristol-honed producer also moves into garage, footwork and 140 BPM territory. He came to electronic production after playing drums, and hearing Kemistry & Storm's DJ-Kicks mix helped redirect his attention towards earlier drum & bass. That interest in the genre's foundations sits beside a modern, hard-edged production approach. Releases with Born On Road and Alix Perez's 1985 Music have given that combination a home, while collaborations with vocalists and fellow producers keep the project open to different strands of UK bass music.
