Animal & Bannerman - Fresh from the creation of Bangkok’s own Springhead Recordings. Bannerman and Animal will bring a performance showcasing their original material dropped into their set.
Bannerman: Growing up in the UK, close to London, Bannerman found a love for jungle D&B at an early age through friends with common interests and after attending drum and bass club nights and raves he decided to try his hand at producing his own tracks then and there. His debut, “A Long Time Coming,” released as the first EP on Springhead Recordings showcases his adeptness at crafting soundscapes that feel as expansive as they are personal, drawing listeners into a world where rhythm and melody narrate tales of urban exploration and introspection.
Animal: Growing up in the UK in the 90s, DJ Animal followed drum and bass as it emerged through raves, tape packs and vinyl. In the 2000s he was a founding member of the Cut Loose crew, promoting events and DJing around Brighton, with some forays into production of bootlegs, mashups and original tracks. Since leaving the UK in 2010, he’s taken his passion for drum and bass to many countries, whether promoting Saigon Loves Jungle events, organizing boat parties in Doha, or gigging around Bangkok. Between regular sets at Irie Bangkok and appearances at Thai festivals such as Wonderfruit, Sub Camp and Sunset Beach, DJ Animal has been honing his craft in the studio, zeroing in on a style that is authentic and emotive, both forward-looking and inspired by his decades-long love affair with drum and bass.
