About Serum
Serum stands as a true titan in the Drum & Bass landscape, a name synonymous with raw, uncompromising energy and deep, rolling basslines. Hailing from the UK, his journey through the electronic music scene has been marked by relentless innovation and a consistent ability to deliver tracks that resonate with both seasoned heads and new listeners alike. He first made waves in the early 2000s, quickly establishing a reputation for his distinct sound that blends classic jungle influences with modern production techniques.
His discography boasts an impressive array of releases on some of D&B’s most respected labels, including Hospital Records, Philly Blunt, and his own Souped Up Records. Tracks like “Battle Ready” (with Voltage) and “Fly” exemplify his signature style: heavy, intricate drum patterns, powerful bass, and a knack for crafting infectious grooves. Serum is celebrated not just for his individual productions but also for his impactful collaborations with artists like Voltage and Bladerunner, forming the formidable Kings of the Rollers trio. While primarily a solo DJ and producer, his live performances are legendary, characterised by seamless mixing and an ability to whip any crowd into a frenzy.
