Next Stop: This Saturday, The Loft at Low Profile Studios
Featured Driver: Skeleton King
Favourite Route: X39 between Bristol and Bath
The Bristol-based Skeleton King is quickly becoming a popular character in the underground electronic music scene. His unique take on UKG, 2-step and breaks have earned him support from the likes of Asquith, Ben UFO, DJ EZ, DJ Mag and Justin Jay, and have seen him release on labels Lobster Theremin, Breaks ‘N’ Pieces and fantastic voyage. His tracks and sets are wonderfully unpredictable, and we’re excited to hear what he has in store for us on Saturday.

Next Stop: September 10th, The Loft at Low Profile Studios
Featured Driver: Poor J’Darr
Favourite Route: 500 Piraeus to Kifisia
The up-and-coming Poor J’Darr has been on our radar for some time now, with his multi-genre mixes and productions earning him a name both in the U.K. and in his home country of Greece. Backing up the Athenian’s growing name is a strong package of releases on 40grit Records, Belters, Choccy Biccy, Outhouse Sounds, Roadkill, Slippery Sounds and Taipan Trax. Expect high energy from the young Driver, as he glides between UKG, hard drums and all things bass on what’s set to be a wonderful journey next weekend.
Tickets are on final release in our bio 🥁🚌💨
Next Stop: September 10th, The Loft at Low Profile Studios
We’re excited to be driven by Bristol-based Skeleton King, Athenian Poor J’Darr and Londoner LUMA for dB’s fourth stop at The Loft - one of the most unique and aesthetically pleasing venues we’ve visited. Expect plenty of breaks, 2-step and bass.
Grab your tickets quickly - the Bus ran out of seats at each of our last three stops!

Next Stop: This Saturday, Dalston Den
Featured Driver: ohmydais
We first started following Londoner ohmydais last year through her Threads Radio residency, and were instantly drawn to her genre-deriding style that reflects exactly what Drum Bus is about.
Her moody brews of bass, electro and breaky flavours have earned her guest appearances for the likes of Lobster Theremin, Frazer Ray and Aes, and her periodic appearances on exclusive live streams run by Fold, Late Night Shopper, Percy Mingle and The Cause have seen her ascend to the upper echelons of selector stardom in the UK underground scene.
Here’s a small taste of Daisy’s fantastic HÖR Berlin set - you can find the full link in our bio, alongside tickets🥁🚌💨💨
Next Stop: June 25th, Dalston Den
Featured Driver: Van Wilkins
We first heard about the talented Van Wilkins around a year ago through his release on Over and Out, ‘Man From East’, and have been following ever since.
His energetic productions – accompanied by heavy influences from grime and other UK rap-based genres – have earned him releases on ec2a, Outhouse Sounds, Gimme A Break Records and Taipan Trax, as well as support from the likes of Mall Grab, Kettama and Ansza.
Van has also been making waves as a DJ, playing for the likes of 23 Degrees and Left Handed Events. We’ve attached a clip from his fantastic Keep Hush set from November last year to show you what he’s made of (link is also in our bio) 🥁🚌💨💨

Next Stop: June 25th, Dalston Den
Featured Driver: Pressa
We’re lucky to have Pressa coming down to play an all-vinyl breaks, garage and house set. An experienced DJ, Pressa has 16 years experience playing at venues around the country (and another 6 honing his mixing skills before that). His production skills have earned him regular reviews in DJ Mag, and seen him featured on multiple noteworthy labels – Club Glow, Top Drawer, and Torre, to name a few. It’s safe to say that Pressa will put an excellent cross-genre show, and we’re excited to hear what he has in store.
Early bird tickets are sold out, onto first release - get them while they’re hot 🥁🚌💨
Next Stop: June 25th Dalston Den
Here’s a little preview showcasing the production talent of Drivers Roaming Data and Van Wilkins, in the form of a live performance of a track named ‘Nazar’. The duo drew on influences such as Overmono, Floating Points and Kraftwerk to create an organic, ethereal track perfect for the club and home listening.
A link to the full video – featured on Hub Sessions – is in our bio 🥁🚌💨
We are now approaching our second stop with Private Caller and Yasmine at Dalston Den on April 9th! Join us for a journey through heavy percussive Techno, Breaks and Jungle.
