DUST21 came together in the latter part of 1999 as a live urban dance act. Based in South London originally, they quickly came to impress a local following with their distinctive sound of beats, breaks, grooves, and guitars, whilst attracting the attention of many DnB industry veterans. In a unique set up, DUST21 incorporate a huge live element, with programmed loops and samples. Their set up has changed drastically since the beginning of 2004 when their sound went from a unique dance blend of hip trip hop, drum n bass, and urban soul, into a more drum n bass dancefloor direction, with the introduction of new band members. Make no mistake about the fact that DUST21 are a live band and their sound is very much alive, -“songwriting comes first”, and the band embrace each others diverse influences. Currently working on new material with a different flava, in their new HQ in north London
