DC Breaks specialize in a high-definition, high-velocity brand of drum and bass that feels engineered for massive sound systems. Their sound is characterized by incredibly crisp percussion, where every snare hit feels like a physical impact, and basslines that oscillate between smooth liquid textures and aggressive, metallic growls. It is music that demands movement, operating at a constant, driving 174 BPM that never lets up.
What sets them apart is their ability to marry the raw aggression of neurofunk with the melodic accessibility of dance-pop. While many of their peers lean into either pure darkness or pure radio-friendliness, DC Breaks find a middle ground where cinematic tension meets euphoric vocal hooks. Their production is maximalist and gleaming, utilizing complex synth layering and dramatic risers to create a sense of constant forward momentum.
Start with the 'Halo EP' for a masterclass in their early, foundational sound, then move to 'Different Breed' to hear how they expanded their palette into a full-length cinematic experience. It is the ideal soundtrack for high-intensity activities where you need a relentless, polished energy to keep you moving.
DC Breaks are a British drum and bass production duo made up of Dan Havers and Chris Page. After being discovered and nurtured by Scotland's DJ Kid, they went on to sign a record deal with RAM Records, run by the producer Andy C. They have produced numerous remixes for major record labels, including artists such as Tinie Tempah, I Blame Coco, Paloma Faith, Example, Esmée Denters and Rox. In April 2017, their debut album Different Breed was released on RAM Records.
