For now we have a temporary artist choice which is Roni Size who is a Drum and Bass artist whom is also part of the band Reprazent, that has released 19 albums from 1993 with one being released this year. He lives in Bristol and has been signed to his own label Full Cycle Records and received the Mercury Music Prize for his LP New Forms which was critically acclaimed. Much of the acclaim centred around the mixing of jungle beats accompanied by live drums and double bass. The band consists of Roni Size, DJ Krust, Onallee, Dynamite MC and rapper Bahamadia. As a result, Reprazent's drum 'n' bass is equally informed by hip-hop, funk, soul and house and he also happens to be my uncle. The visual motif that is used by the group is shown below and the album covers either feature this motif or show him with his group while he is centered in the middle Much of the acclaim centred around Size's melding of the propulsive jungle beats accompanied by live drums and double bass. The band consists of Ryan Williams , DJ Krust, Onallee, Dynamite MC (featured on the song) hip-hop, funk, soul and house.
Some other notable artists are: Konflict, LTJ Bukem, Matrix, Optical, Photek, Roni Size, ShyFX, Spring Heel Jack.
