Napes (UK) | Auckland

Napes has remained on the lips of jungle and drum and bass enthusiasts ever since he captured the attention of the online drum and bass community via a series of incredibly well performing free downloads on SoundCloud in 2019. Since then, he has continued to rack up millions of plays on SoundCloud alone as he continues to champion the free download as a tool to give back to the community. Needless to say, his distinctive fusion of drum and bass, jungle, and grime has gone from strength to strength and bagged him a dedicated set of followers. 

Naturally, his talents have also caught the attention of many labels, including Born On Road, Invicta Audio, and Deep In The Jungle. Back in April, his Chopper Gunner EP on Born On Road was released to praise from across the scene and marked the next step in the development of the up-and-coming artist’s sound.
