No other artists have had such an immediate impact on drum & bass in recent years as Instra:mental, the highly acclaimed duo of Al Bleek and Kid Drama. Nominated for ‘Best Breakthrough Producers’ by DJ Magazine in 2009, they’ve set the standard with a series of innovative and original releases across labels ranging from Exit to Applepips and their own imprint NonPlus+. Instra:mental have so far forged successful studio partnerships with the likes of Jonny L, Skream, Burial and most notably dBridge. Their Club Autonomic podcasts have been massively popular worldwide and have given rise to a regular show on London’s Rinse FM plus a Fabric residency, with tour dates taking them across Europe and Japan in 2009. In early 2010, they’ll be touring with dBridge in support of their Fabriclive mix CD and keeping their label moving forward with more singles plus an album from ASC. Crossing a range of styles and tempos, Instra:mental have a busy release schedule ahead, with an album of their own due out later in the year.
