Flava D

2 upcoming festivals ↓

Moves between UK garage, bassline and grime with the same skippy swing — a producer the whole UK bass lineage keeps citing.

Flava D is a producer and DJ from Bournemouth who first made her name supplying instrumentals to grime MCs in the late 2000s before moving into UK garage and bassline. Her productions are recognisable for their swing — skippy, syncopated drum programming carried over from garage — married to heavy, bouncing low end. She has released through Butterz and Swamp 81 among others, and is regularly cited by younger producers working in the same UK bass lineage. Her DJ sets move freely between the styles she produces in rather than staying in one lane.
