Sub Focus

About

Sub Focus, born Nick Douwma, is a British electronic music producer and DJ whose sonic palette has redefined the boundaries of drum and bass, blending it with house, techno, and pop sensibilities. Emerging from the underground rave scene in the mid-2000s, Sub Focus quickly became a torchbearer for the genre’s evolution, crafting anthems that resonate equally in sweaty club basements and festival main stages. His self-titled debut album in 2009 was a game-changer, fusing intricate breakbeats with soaring melodies and cinematic soundscapes, earning him a reputation as a visionary producer. Over the years, Sub Focus has consistently pushed the envelope, collaborating with icons like Wilkinson, Chase & Status, and IDLES, while also remixing legends such as Dizzee Rascal and The Prodigy. His 2020 album "Portals" marked a bold new chapter, exploring themes of escapism and transcendence through lush, genre-defying compositions. Beyond his studio work, Sub Focus is a cultural force, headlining festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella, and his live shows are renowned for their immersive visuals and high-energy performances. Currently, Sub Focus continues to innovate, blending cutting-edge production with a deep respect for dance music’s roots. His recent collaborations and singles hint at a relentless drive to explore new sonic territories, cementing his status as one of electronic music’s most influential and forward-thinking artists.
