DENHAM AUDIO (UK)

Denham Audio is a powerhouse in the modern rave scene, breathing new life into the legacy of UK hardcore with a fresh, urgent sound that bridges the gap between breakbeat, jungle, and techno influences. His music, often between 140 and 160 BPM, reflects a deep reverence for the early 90s rave culture, yet is reimagined for today’s dancefloors. From the heavy basslines to acid-laden hooks, Denham Audio’s tracks are packed with an unmistakable raw energy.

Starting his journey with early releases on labels like Nineteen Ninety Four and Artifice, Denham Audio quickly gained momentum, dropping highly acclaimed records on labels such as WNCL, Frendzone! (in collaboration with Violet), Lobster Theremin, and Sneaker Social Club. Each release draws from a broad spectrum of influences, including hardcore, jungle, hip-hop, reggae, and even elements of sci-fi and anime, creating a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Beyond his prolific output, Denham Audio’s presence is felt globally through electrifying DJ sets that have taken him from the UK to international hotspots like Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin, and New York. He is also a key member of the Club Glow collective, joining forces with Borai, LMajor, and Mani Festo. Together, they’ve created a dynamic community that started with a tape series and has since expanded to 12” releases, a regular radio show on Balamii, and rave events that capture the essence of the underground scene.

Whether it’s through the thumping energy of the “16v hatchback breakbeat NRG” or the gritty vibes of his DJ sets, Denham Audio’s work is a high-octane celebration of rave culture, bringing both homage and innovation to the dance music landscape.
