Last year an email came through to DRR with a very exciting selection of demo music. Naturally syncopated drum patterns, restrained development, stunning mix downs and a lovely deep, dark vibe across all the tracks. Enter ⚡️
Over the following months we received more music and had a smooth back and forth about tracks, structures and forthcoming releases and events. The end result: Sqimer provided two fantastic tracks for the new EP, stepped up as mastering engineer for the whole piece, had one of his tracks played by legend , had a premiere on this week and he’s flying up from France to play his UK debut for Dark Red Records in Manchester this Friday! 🌍
Thank you for doing so much to make this EP happen mate! Manchester is very excited to welcome you! 🎧🐝❤️🔥
Tickets are moving rapidly! Get yours in the bio ⬆️ x
We met Mr Klemit hosting for Manchester bass neighbors last year and we were delighted to have him come and debut for us at our last event at where his presence and skills rounded out the DRR performance piece perfectly ❤️🔥
We’re stoked to have him on board again, holding down the mic in positive and easy style as we celebrate this next chapter of the label 🎤
Thank you for being on board bro 🙏 x
As event day approaches we are very excited to see tickets moving quickly! Get yours in the bio! ⬆️
A chance encounter buying studio speakers brought our friend Ed AKA into the DRR fold and we’re very grateful to have him bring support to the label as he shares the load of making our next event happen! ❤️🔥
Bristolian is the force behind a YouTube channel, a record label and a show on all falling under the same brand alongside his work as a DJ, visual artist and event organizer as part of the crew ⚡️
is a super-hard-working champion of underground bass music and we are not only very grateful to be working with him but also continually inspired by his dedication and focus, not to mention the fact he’s simply a lovely fu***ng guy! 🙌🏼

When was still in the womb about 3 years ago it was imperative that it had a strong brand identity in order for it to be properly birthed. We needed a designer who fully understood the music, the ethos and how to create an aesthetic that made sense and Glen came up with the goods right away! 🙌🏼
Not only has Glen provided beautiful branding and artwork for our events and releases, his presence has also been instrumental in terms of bringing his passion and skill as a DJ where he has become a solid feature at DRR events, drawing on his background as a musician and producer plus his deep Love for vinyl across multiple genres, laying down weighty, vibey sonic foundations at every event 🏗️
We are, as ever, delighted and grateful to have Glen on board once again as he steps up for another B2B with at on 19th April ⚡️
Thanks for all your hard work and creative energy brother! ❤️🔥
Tickets for the event are in the bio! 🎟️ ⬆️

We first met .newman at one of our events a year or so ago and felt an immediate click with her. Seeing her obvious raw energy and passion for the music we were mega excited and keen to work with her as soon as we could! We are very grateful that time has now come!🔥
Born in Sheffield with a base in Manchester - Mondo Radio and Reform Radio Resident Zubz has been killing it in the North as of late. Having supported acts such as Sherelle, DJ Storm, Samurai Breaks, Alex Perez, DJ Flight, Chimpo and more, Zubz is no stranger to tearing up the decks and meddling in the multi-genre universe. Mixing everything from melodic 2-step to squidgy acid to tech jungle, whatever the weather you know you’re going to be in for a treat⚡️
Zubz takes the controls alongside a host of other bass music artists at the Ceremonial Doses EP Launch Party at on Friday 19th April. Tickets are selling fast! Get yours on the link in our bio ⬆️ and we’ll see you there! ❤️🔥

Since reached out to Dark Red Records a couple of years ago to share his music we are very grateful to have been able to publish his work as a firm feature on each release and his presence has been instrumental in not only shaping the sonic identity of the label but also in providing valuable insight, input and support to the project along the way 🌍
Steve is both a multi-talented musician - in the purest sense of the word - and a fiercely dedicated artist, constantly pushing and developing himself and his workflow, always diving into deepest darkest corners to get the best out of himself and his work - a process which consistently underpins his formidable evolution as a naturally-talented creator ❤️🔥
Starting out with his debut release ‘Lair’ on Steve has provided us with some amazing music, not least of all Alchemy which features on our forthcoming Ceremonial Doses EP and received play from Drum & Bass legend on for .fm recently 📡
After his super-deep and engaging set at Eastern Bloc which finished off the night in spectacular style back in September we are are very grateful and excited to have him on board once again at on the 19th for a B2B alongside 🎧 ➡️ tickets in the bio ⬆️
Thank you for all the inspiration and for being on this journey with us mate! Let’s goooo!! 🚀
