IYRE | From Sri Lanka to the UK for the Love of D&B | Why We D&B Episode 8
1 hr 3 min
Welcome to Why We D&B with the brilliant IYRE! From making dubstep in Sri Lanka to becoming a hugely adored part of the UK drum & bass scene, IYRE’s journey is a rather special one. Once the only D&B producer in Sri Lanka, he found his people thousands of miles away thanks to the internet, a whole lot of love for the music and a little help from Goldfat Records, eventually making the big move to the UK. Laurie sits down with IYRE to talk about discovering D&B through Knife Party and Pendulum, why growing up in Sri Lanka made him a better producer, bringing his culture into his sound and the realities of moving across the world for music. Plus, a big old chat about our wonderful little D&B community, the beauty of online communities and how we can all help make the scene even better. Show IYRE some love and let us know why you D&B in the comments below!
