BS8 Records
BS8 Records is a forward-thinking drum and bass (DnB) record label based in Bristol, United Kingdom. As one of Bristol's premier underground music platforms, it has embraced the distinctive British electronic sound while also showcasing an array of international talent. Named after the Bristol postcode, BS8 Records was founded by Ben Harris and Jake Blanchard, two University of Bristol graduates with massive infatuations for the intricate rhythmical patterns of DnB.
Established in 2017, BS8 Records tends to focus on an explorative, experimental variant of drum and bass, without confining itself strictly within the genre's conventions. This approach has allowed the label to engage with a broad range of artists and fans, fostering a unique sense of community in the music sphere. Noteworthy releases from the label include works from rising talents such as Techimatic, T>I and Operator Unknown.
Although still in its infancy, BS8 Records has garnered a healthy respect within the local and international DnB circuit. Its reputation for presenting fresh, innovative music has led the label to contribute significantly to the vibrant Bristol music scene. Not confined to just releasing music, BS8 Records also hosts live events featuring select artists from their roster and beyond, further solidifying its influence and presence.
