Since first performing together at Band on the Wall in Manchester in 2014, LSB and DRS, respectively and collaboratively, have become two of drum & bass music’s most sought-after talents. Their infallible global grip, with a significant presence amongst Liquid DnB lovers the world over, has seen them not only tour the planet continuously but has also culminated in their release of the first-ever Producer/MC concept album ‘The Blue Hour,’ which dropped in 2019. A year before their album, the first volume of LSB & DRS’ Space Age’ mix series appeared online in August 2018. Since then, it has grown into a collection of six undeniably enslaving mixes, and now a live show that the duo are set to take on the road in late 2024.
