ACP
ACP is a Bristol-based producer working at the intersection of bassline and drum and bass. He has released music and EPs on Exert Records, Low Down Deep, CruCast, Souped Up Records, Gradient Records and BoujeeBass TV. Notable releases include the Cosmic Playground EP (Oct 15, 2024), the Big Talk EP (Nov 11, 2024) and the Power EP (2025).
Public artist pages and label listings identify Bristol as ACP’s base. Beyond those listings, biographical details such as early training or exact entry points into the scene are limited in public sources. What is documented are his releases, label relationships and a string of remixes and collaborations that map his path through the UK bass and DnB underground.
Musically, ACP’s production sits where bassline weight meets drum and bass tempo. Across Cosmic Playground (Oct 15, 2024) and Big Talk (Nov 11, 2024) he favors heavy low-end design — layered sub-bass and dirtier midrange growls — coupled with tight, chopped break edits. His drums typically rely on edited breakbeat hits rather than straight programed kits: percussion is often swung, with off-grid ghost snares and short, clipped hats to push momentum. Atmospherics come from reverb-drenched pads and filtered FX that sit above the kick and bass, creating contrast before sub drops. In short: big low-end focus, break editing for groove, and textural FX to frame the drops.
On production technique he uses common studio methods with clear application to his releases: layered basses (clean sine/sub plus distorted mid layers), parallel compression on drum groups for attack and weight, and filter automation to sculpt pre-drop tension. His arrangements lean concise — room for intro, build, drop and a second variation — which suits label EP formats and DJ play. The result reads as bassline-informed DnB: patterns that lock into a dancefloor pocket but keep the track structure tight for mixing into sets.
ACP has produced remixes for Logan D and Dominator, and he has collaborated with Jenks, ATMOS, R!PT!DE and Nick The Lot. Those credits appear on public release and label pages and underline his ties across the UK bass and drum and bass roster. He has placed original material and remixes across the six labels named above, showing a steady release cadence through late 2024 and into 2025 with the Power EP.
Specific, verifiable touchpoints for ACP are his label list (Exert Records, Low Down Deep, CruCast, Souped Up Records, Gradient Records, BoujeeBass TV), the Cosmic Playground EP (Oct 15, 2024), the Big Talk EP (Nov 11, 2024), the Power EP (2025), plus remixes for Logan D and Dominator and collaborations with Jenks, ATMOS, R!PT!DE and Nick The Lot. Public pages list Bristol as his base, and the Power EP (2025) is his most recent documented release.
