Humanature
André Soares, known professionally as HumaNature, is a Portuguese producer and DJ working in drum and bass with a primary focus on liquid funk. He is based in Porto, Portugal, and his recorded output sits squarely in melodic, tempo-driven DnB while retaining the smoother textures associated with liquid-style production.
HumaNature was born in the Azores Islands and moved to the United States with his family at age two. He began producing at 18 and in 2014 relocated to Porto to pursue a career in drum and bass. Those are the firm biographical milestones publicly documented for his early life and the move that positioned him within Portugal’s DnB community.
As a producer, HumaNature’s work emphasizes melodic content and clean production. His tracks typically feature layered pads and atmospheric reverbs alongside clearly separated sub-bass and midrange elements. Drum programming shows careful break editing and tight transient work: crisp snare/top layering with processed break fills to keep forward momentum. Arrangement-wise his pieces lean toward sustained chord movements, vocal fragments or chops for phrasing, and automated delay/reverb to build space — hallmarks that align his sound with liquid DnB while maintaining punch on club systems.
On the career side, HumaNature has released music on labels including Fokuz Recordings, Liquicity, RAM Records, Integral and Galacy. He has performed in both Europe and the United States as a DJ and live act, bringing his productions into club and festival settings. Those label credits and international bookings are the main public markers of his activity and reach.
