Dwarde: Drum and Bass Biography, Releases and Upcoming Events

Dwarde is a producer and DJ known for his playful yet technically sharp take on jungle, hardcore and breakbeat. Hailing from the North East of England, he has built a loyal following through a steady run of vinyl releases, radio sets and collaborations that celebrate the rough-edged charm of the early ’90s rave era while adding a distinctly modern flair.

Equally inspired by jungle’s chopped-up edits and hardcore’s wide-eyed energy, Dwarde’s tracks often blend breakbeats with lush pads, rave stabs and oddball samples. He’s released on labels including Repertoire, Sneaker Social Club, Lobster Theremin and Ilian Tape, as well as running his own imprint, Dwarde’s Dubs.

Whether teaming up with Tim Reaper, Coco Bryce or Thugwidow, Dwarde brings a sense of fun and looseness to the current jungle revival. His music doesn’t chase polish. It chases buzz, swing and that chaotic edge that made the original era so exciting.

From dusty bootlegs to razor-tight rollers, Dwarde is one of the UK’s most consistent breakbeat craftsmen. Rooted in the past but never stuck in it.
