Grand Theft Audio are celebrating 10 long years in the game with an epic, 5 LP collection, including a remix album, an album full of unreleased material AND albums hand picked by each of the three members of the team behind the brand. It’s a pretty good way to celebrate this milestone by anybody’s standards, and we caught up with the team to talk about this monumental project.
Jinx and his label Straight Up Audio have a sound that is big, heavy and distinctive. With a steadily growing artist roster and plenty of self penned tracks to his name, Jinx has been on our to do list for some time. Until now.

Selena Stack at Freedom Rave Wear says, ‘One of the core principles of rave culture is inclusivity. It’s a culture that has always welcomed people from all walks of life, regardless of their background, gender, age, or identity’. In a world where people on the spectrum feel like they are outsiders, the rave is home to me. I am free to be who I am without judgment. Raves are an adult playground. Anything goes, people let loose, everyone is your friend, you can be weird with strangers, you can dress like a unicorn, you can paint your face, you can do and be whoever you want.
Everyone loves a Guest Mix and we’re no exception. It’s something we’re looking to expand on this year, and of course we were over the moon when Folly offered us a copy of his NYE set for the site. While he’s not a stranger to the 1s and 2s, he is just starting to break out into the club circuit, and we’re pretty sure he’s gonna shake shit up too. So without further ado, here’s our man Folly, one of the original INSIDE DNB family.
Netherlands based KNARS wears many musical hats and produces everything from Prodigy-esque rave rock to kick ass drum and bass. Rising as a one piece outfit from the ashes of the band Knarsetand (Teethgrinder in Dutch), he also writes and creates his own video compositions. With a new track ‘Keep Running’ released very recently (with accompanying video) and with a punk n bass ethic running through his core very similar to our own, we thought we’d find out a bit more about this intriguing Dutchman.
MC Elkay is one of the rising stars of the scene, with a smiles for miles policy and a heart of gold. This energetic and talented MC will get any floor bouncing and we are big fans, so that’s why we decided to get in touch! Read on to find out more!
Gary Robinson from The Death Beats has a DNB pedigree reaching right back to 1998 when tech step was at it’s most innovative and exciting. He ran New Vision Recordings back then and now, after a career spanning both film and TV, he is back with this stunning new project that fuses DNB and synthwave to deadly effect. We got really excited by the latest track when it dropped into the inbox, and a few conversations later we now have this interview and a SoundCloud premiere. Enjoy!
