So this isn’t all that new but it’s new to me! A friend of mine just introduced me to The Upbeats, which are a duo from New Zealand making some awesome DnB and now progressing into Dubstep.

Posted below are a few tracks from their recent album Big Skeleton, released in November on Non-Vogue records. If you like the tracks below I’d definitely recommend checking out the whole album.

The Drum n Bass coming out of New Zealand seems to be a little bit more mellow than that from the UK, so probably easier to listen to for those not usually into DnB.
