Macca is a Liverpool-born, UK-based drum and bass DJ and producer whose releases span soulful liquid sounds and darker, minimal styles. After appearing as a guest on Charlie Bones’s Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show, Macca covered for Bones and launched the NTS programme One Glove. Macca is also a resident on the station’s Saturday morning breakfast show.

In 2013, Macca teamed up with Loz Contreras, releasing several tracks on Rotterdam-based Fokuz Recordings. Releases have also appeared on Shogun Audio, Spearhead, Integral, Innerground, Liquicity and Liquid V, alongside work for Fokuz and V Recordings. Collaborators include Melinki and DJ Marky; Macca’s music has also been remixed by Lenzman, S.P.Y and Technimatic.

In 2022, Macca released Bad Trip EP with Melinki on V Recordings, as well as “The Riddle” with Melinki on Forbidden Frequencies. The 2024 single “I Feel”, another Melinki collaboration, came out on Four Corners.

Dunk is the solo project of João Garcia Neto, a drum & bass producer from São Paulo, Brazil. His stripped-back, bass-heavy rollers have earned him the tag “the master of the minimal sound”, and the name itself is a basketball reference: he loves the moment a commentator shouts “dunk!” as the ball goes through the hoop.

Before going solo he spent years in Jam Thieves with his brother Guilherme. The brothers, from the north side of São Paulo, started out as DJs in a four-deck project called Decks Groove before switching to production in 2007; hip-hop fans first, they got into drum & bass around 1998 through DJ Hype, Pascal and Zinc's True Playaz crew. Jam Thieves' minimal, bassline-led “thief's music” found homes on labels such as Proximity, V Recordings, Chronic, Serial Killaz and Playaz.

In 2020 he started the Dunk project to focus on his own minimalist side. His debut album, The Music Is My Life, arrived on Dispatch Recordings in September 2021, mastered by Teebee at Black Science Labs. A year later he returned to Dispatch with The Art of Minimal, a twelve-track set including “Made In Brazil” and “Diamond Head” that he says was finished in two months, alongside five other releases.

The pace has not let up since. Dunk has released on Sofa Sound, Souped Up, Dubplate Dread, Liondub International, Grid, Critical and Playaz, and on DJ Marky's Innerground Records, from “Fake Love” on the Innerground 100 compilation to Moon Rocks / Nightcrawler in 2023 and Nightmare in 2025. He values Marky's feedback as a measure of how his music is landing, traces his minimal style to rap, hip-hop and techno, and has also started a separate techno project, Minimalyst. He left his job to live from music and keeps office hours in the studio.

In October 2026 he made his Metalheadz debut with Bam Bam / Mirror Dance (METHXX046) in the label's METHXX series, pairing the deep, hypnotic groove of “Mirror Dance” with the raw sub-bass of “Bam Bam”.

Melinki, the DJ and producer name of Sonny Symes, is from Hastings on England’s south coast and is based there. He established Four Corners Music in 2017 and runs the label alongside his production work. His releases have appeared on Fokuz Recordings, Dispatch and Technique, as well as his own imprint, and he has also released music through V Recordings, Shogun and Liquicity. He has won DJ competitions associated with Hospitality, Dillinja’s Valve Recordings and Drum and Bass Arena, and has performed on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.

His EP The S.T.L Project grew from work at his community studio in Hastings and included collaborations with artists connected to the space, including Philth, HLZ and Deefa. Melinki owns and manages S.T.L Studios, where he teaches DJing and music production and hosts masterclasses.

In 2024, Melinki discussed The Radical Sounds EP, a four-track release for V Recordings made with pyxis, Motiv, Collette Warren and T.R.A.C.
