Tribal DnB explores the more expansive, percussive side of contemporary Drum n Bass.

With the bit between his teeth, Lynch Kingsley explores the deeper side of DnB production showcasing some of his finest production to date. Evolving landscapes are formed through the synth heavy pads, sub bass lines mutate and reveal a darker, more twisted side which all perfectly compliment the main event; the outrageously well produced drum loops. So whether you’re looking to destroy a late night system slot or produce something a little bit more organic and original, this is the perfect collection for your production needs.
