HØST

HØST (real name Harry Taylor) is a UK-based producer and DJ from Bristol who works across bass music, drum & bass, drumstep, halftime, dubstep and footwork.

Taylor entered the scene as a Bristol-based electronic producer, releasing material on labels tied to heavy bass music circuits. His Valhalla EP arrived on Unchained Recordings on May 24, 2019. He has also released music on Noisia’s Division and on labels including Saturate and Vandal. Beyond releases, HØST’s DJ sets and festival appearances are documented on Resident Advisor, and his tracks have been played on NTS. He maintains active artist pages on Bandcamp and SoundCloud.

Musically HØST moves between full-rate drum & bass and slower, bass-weighted formats. In his drum & bass material he favours punchy, tight snare hits and layered low-end; in halftime and dubstep cuts the tempo drops while sub-bass content and space in the kick/snare relationship become primary. On drumstep cuts he retains DnB-style drum processing while shifting the rhythmic emphasis; footwork and beat-sliced influences appear as chopped percussion and syncopated hi-hat programming. Across these modes his work is centred on heavy low-frequency design, edited break hits and clear mids for systems.

As a producer HØST’s releases (notably the Valhalla EP) demonstrate a focus on dense bass design and precise drum editing rather than long-form ambient passages. He programmes tight break edits and uses layered bass timbres—approaches that translate directly into his DJ sets, where track selection and gains are tuned for club systems. His presence on Division, Saturate and Vandal places him among labels known for technical bass production and system-ready mixes.

Documented performances on Resident Advisor and airplay on NTS show HØST operating both as a studio producer and as a selector. Public biographical detail beyond releases, label credits and broadcast appearances is limited, but the available record emphasises his role as a Bristol-based bass producer who spans drum & bass, drumstep, halftime/dubstep and footwork-influenced rhythms.
