Last year, in a feature for Purple Sneakers, music journalist Cyclone Wehner declared drum ‘n’ bass to be back and bigger than ever.
Aussie producer Luude said, “I think D'n'B has always been there and will always be in some form – it's just having a different moment right now in some more commercial pockets, which feels exciting.”
