Break through in London's legendary Drum & Bass scene

London's drum & bass scene is remarkably diverse, covering everything from liquid funk and minimal to jump-up and neurofunk. Many curators specialize in particular sub-genres, which is why Groover helps match your specific sound with the right tastemakers. While commercial viability matters to some industry professionals, London's scene has always valued innovation, technical production skills, and authenticity above all else.

London's drum & bass scene has exceptionally high production standards. While curators understand that demos may not have final mastering, your submissions should demonstrate strong technical fundamentals, particularly in drum programming, bass design, and mix clarity. The scene's emphasis on club play means tracks should translate well to sound systems. However, many curators value musical ideas and originality over absolute technical perfection if your unique voice shines through.

London curators offer uniquely valuable insights because they're immersed in the genre's birthplace and most competitive market. They can provide specific technical feedback on elements crucial to drum & bass (breakbeat processing, bass weight, arrangement for DJ play) while understanding the context of where your sound fits within the scene's rich history and current landscape. Many have direct connections to the labels, clubs, and radio stations that can transform promising producers into established names.

Beyond production advice, feedback from London curators offers insights into how your music positions within the current scene. Use this intelligence to refine your artistic direction, understand which labels might be appropriate for your sound, and build relationships with the right industry figures. Many successful producers have used initial curator connections to secure guest mixes, compilation appearances, and eventually signing opportunities with key London labels and promoters, turning feedback into career advancement.

The curators & pros on Groover are carefully selected music enthusiasts screened by the Groover Team for their ability to curate and discover talented new artists.

We review their application based on:

• Their degree of influence (globally, or within their niche)

• The quality of the content they produce

• The artists they support and their editorial line

Curators on Groover fall into three main categories, depending on what you’re looking for. You’ll gain access to the full list of curators and pros once you’ve started your campaign and added details about your track. From there, you can refine your search using filters like music genres, curator types, and countries.

• Visibility Curators: Media outlets, blogs, radio stations and shows, playlisters, and YouTube/Twitch channels. If they like your track, they’ll share it with their audience, helping you reach new listeners.

• Partners: Record labels, bookers, managers, sync supervisors, and publishers looking for their next big discovery—the artists they want to work with and represent. If you’re looking to build your network, these are the ones to reach out to.

• Advice: Managers, coaches, mentors, and other industry professionals selected for their ability to offer valuable feedback on your production, career, or overall project. If you’re sending a demo and want detailed advice, these are the people to connect with.

All record labels and pros on Groover are passionate about discovering new talent. They’ve been carefully selected based on the opportunities they can provide. Each curator and pro is independent and specializes in different music genres.
