Club Cryptic

25/02/2024

Born from her desire for constant background music, Drum and Bass producer Rex the Bard makes high-octane tracks for the everyday. Described as “warehouse lounge”, “aggressive waiting music”, “non committal rave music” and “the best Teen Wolf inspired music there is” this is music that dictates a vibe, not attention.

Nothing if not experimental, when Rex the Bard isn’t making drum and bass, she creates future garage, glitchy footwork, lowkey breakcore and seapunk.

Infusing her tracks with every facet of her personality, from hit 90's CD Moods to subpar-at-best supernatural teen dramas, hopefully this bard will give you some inspiration!
