About Trouble & Bass
Trouble & Bass is the sound of staying up all night and getting wild in the streets, sweat dripping off the walls and speakers pounding in your face. For the last 8 years, these rowdy ravers have brought raw energy back to the world's dancefloors, effortlessly flipping bass-driven dance music in all its forms. T&B was born in the dirty streets of NYC, arising out of Drop the Lime's vision of a futuristic mob of DJ/producers playing hard-hitting underground beats and breaks with no rules. These heavy-bass champions built that vision into a reality with genre-bending DJ sets, rowdy monthly parties (known for breaking talent such as Skream, Night Slugs, and Rusko in the US), and a world-renowned record label with over 100 releases to its name. This iconoclastic crew (winners of the RBMA 2013 Culture Clash) has done more than any other to put Brooklyn on the bass music map while creating a signature aesthetic that's recognizable around the world.
