Joss-E is a Brazilian drum and bass producer and DJ from Brasília, known for creating liquid, minimal and experimental sounds that fuse the musicality of artists like Calibre and Etherwood with the emotional weight of metal. His work spans deep liquid grooves and textured, introspective sound design, earning recognition across imprints such as Liquid Flow and DNBB Records.
Originally a DJ for over a decade before stepping into production, Joss-E’s journey into music reflects a passion for contrast and emotional range. His tracks balance atmosphere with rhythm, weaving delicate pads and smooth basslines around crisp percussion. The result is a sound that feels both meditative and forceful, resonating with listeners drawn to the more emotive side of drum and bass.
Joss-E’s influences are as wide as they are distinctive. Early inspiration came from metal acts such as Korn, Sepultura and Lamb of God, whose intensity shaped the darker emotional undertones in his work. That weight is offset by the melodic sensibility of liquid funk pioneers like Calibre and SpectraSoul, and the high-energy edge of artists including DJ Hazard and Serum. Together these influences create a sound that is introspective yet powerful, equally suited to headphone listening and late-night sets.
Recent work has seen Joss-E refine this balance between weight and melody. His single Lies showcases a soulful, minimalistic take on liquid drum and bass, while the Open Your Eyes EP, released in October 2025 on 4Jungle Records, expands his sound into deeper territory. Tracks such as London Bad Boys demonstrate his ability to channel both emotion and experimentation into cohesive, immersive productions.
With support from respected underground labels like DNBB Records and Liquid Flow, Joss-E continues to evolve as part of Brazil’s growing drum and bass community. His music bridges introspection and intensity, offering a unique voice within the global liquid and minimal scene.
