2b.Frank
2b.Frank is a Manchester-based producer working in drum and bass and liquid funk. He appears on label release listings and streaming platforms and maintains artist pages on Bandcamp and SoundCloud.
His recorded work includes the Wonderin' EP, a collaboration with Channell released on Fokuz Recordings, and feature credits on other labels: "Imagination Runnin'" (feat. 2b.Frank) on Inform Records, and "Kusama" credited as Redeyes feat. 2b.Frank & aya dia. Those releases are the concrete touchpoints for his output.
Public biographical detail beyond those credits is limited. Where early life, formal training or exact entry points into the scene aren’t listed on label pages or his streaming profiles, his collaborative credits and label placements provide the clearest timeline markers of activity.
As a producer, 2b.Frank’s work leans on hallmarks of liquid funk: melodic chord work, clear mid-range instrumentation, and warm low-end. On the Wonderin' EP he favours sustained pads and vocal-led motifs paired with rolling drum patterns; his feature on "Imagination Runnin'" similarly places melodic phrasing over steady two-step DnB rhythms. Production-wise his tracks emphasise clean sub-bass, layered atmospheres and tight, punchy drum edits rather than heavy, distorted neuro bass or maximalist sound design.
His contributions to tracks are production credits rather than DJ or MC roles; on releases where he is credited as a featured artist, that credit reflects his studio production and arrangement work. Collaborations with Channell, Redeyes and aya dia show a pattern of working with vocalists and label-led projects, and his name appears on catalogs for Fokuz Recordings and Inform Records.
Specific influences have not been publicly documented in detail. Where influence can be read from his discography, it’s through label and collaborator connections: Fokuz Recordings’ liquid-lean roster and the artists he’s worked with are the clearest reference points for his sound and partnerships.
For listeners wanting to hear his work directly, his Bandcamp and SoundCloud pages and the credited releases on Fokuz and Inform are the primary sources to explore.
