DRB

Story

I used to call myself bass bear. Then I got my PhD and then I was Dr Bass Bear. But that just sounds silly, so call me DRB. I make whatever flavour of electronica seems to fit my mood, as long as its got some sub, it works for me. I love DnB, hiphop, and everything in between. I compose a lot of stuff algorithmically, so if that interests you hit me up! Also hit me up to say hi. xxx
