SUB FOCUS
Over the course of a 16-year career, Nick Douwma aka Sub Focus has risen through the ranks
of underground jungle to become a global dance music superstar. First building a reputation
around air-punching, dancefloor-dismantling drum & bass, he now draws from all corners of
the electronic landscape - epitomising the ‘anything goes’ mantra of today's scene.
​
Reaching the pinnacle of the drum & bass world, Douwma would go on to become a mentor
for the scene’s new school of exciting talent - forging boundary-pushing collaborations with
the likes of Wilkinson and Dimension. Sub Focus and Dimension’s 2018 single ‘Desire’ has clocked up over 30 million global streams, signifying a new chapter in the story.
​
Moving into 2019, the release of double-single ‘Solar System’ and ‘Siren’ conveys an artist
who’s stayed true to his musical roots throughout his long career - a career that he doesn’t
look like curtailing anytime soon.
