No other artists have had such an immediate impact in recent years as INSTRA:MENTAL - the highly acclaimed duo of AL BLEEK and KID DRAMA. Since their very early releases, the pair have been steadily building momentum with a number of influential singles. With a style unrestricted by tempo, their productions cross the artificial boundaries between contemporary genres such as DUBSTEP and DRUMnBASS and reach out to a wide range of listeners. Their tracks build tension through careful arrangements, capturing interest by revealing layers and subtly engineered sounds without resorting to tired clichés. 

From their early material alongside Source Direct to their more recent collaborations with Skream and Burial, Instra:mental have consistently attracted artists of the highest calibre to work alongside. Their south London studio “The Zoo” has hosted luminaries and like-minds such as Jonny L, No-U-Turn legend Nico and dBridge. The strength of these partnerships continues to grow, with two further and very different joint works by Instra:mental and dBridge appearing on the ‘Sepia Tones EP’ for DARKESTRAL and more joint works in store, including a number of three-way efforts alongside SKREAM.

In 2009, they launched the monthly AUTOMONIC podcast series to showcase fresh sounds alongside timeless music that continues to inspire them. Sharing diverse influences including experimental electronica, soul and funk, the Autonomic sessions have already gained a cult following and inspired a residency at London’s superclub, FABRIC plus a regular show on RINSE FM. The latest podcast reached over 50,000 downloads; a sure sign that their appeal is not restricted to drum & bass fans only. With a mix CD for the prestigious Fabriclive series already having come out this year, 2010 has seen a world domination already come into effect.

Also launching their own label, NonPlus+, in 2009 there is already a string of highly acclaimed releases to its name and the highly‐anticipated debut album from Instra:mental is to follow later in this year.

In the short time that they’ve been available for DJ bookings, Instra:mental have already appeared at both DMZ in Brixton and Berlin’s infamous Berghain club; testament to their impact within the dubstep and techno communities. Festival appearances have also seen visits to Sun & Bass in Sardinia and Exodus Festival in Croatia, further showing the strength and diversity of their sound. Whether performing solo or alongside dBridge and their host of choice SP:MC, you can be certain to hear fresh music from Instra:mental with quality, integrity and lasting appeal.
