Editor's review
It must be so cool to be DB. The U.K. expat founded one of the coolest clubs in techno history--NYC's NASA--and helped grow Breakbeat Science, a store that shaped the drum 'n' bass lifestyle. Moreover, he's a great producer, his dreamlike drum 'n' bass infusing soul into a sometimes nail-hard genre.
Biography
Arriving in New York from London in '89, it could be argued that no one has done more for Drum & Bass in America than DB. First with his hardcore Breakbeat club NASA, (featured in the Larry Clark film Kids) then by launching Sm:)e communications and releasing the first Jungle singles & compilations in the U.S, as well as signing DJ Dara, thus kickstarting his career as an artist. He & Dara then opened Breakbeat Science, dedicated to Drum & Bass. It quickly became not only the most respected record store, label & a street-wear clothing brand, but also the very epicenter of the jungle community in the U.S.
