Hybrid Minds

2 upcoming festivals

Liquid drum & bass at its most emotional — festival fields turned choir, soaring vocals over rolling breaks.

Hybrid Minds are a British duo working in liquid drum and bass, a strand of the genre defined by soft pads, jazz and soul chords and rolling, unaggressive breakbeats. They emerged in the early 2010s and have released a steady stream of singles, EPs and albums, much of it through their own imprint.

Their music leans on guest vocalists more than most producers in the style, favouring song structures and choruses over club tools, which has given them a following beyond drum and bass specialists. Their DJ and live shows keep to that emotional, melodic register rather than the harder end of the tempo.
