Macca

Macca is a producer and DJ from Portsmouth, United Kingdom, working primarily in drum and bass with a focus on liquid drum and bass / liquid funk. He has been active since the early 2010s and has released on Fokuz Recordings, Shogun Audio, Spearhead, Integral, Innerground, Liquicity and Liquid V.

Public records show Macca emerging in the early 2010s out of Portsmouth’s scene. He frequently collaborates with Leeds producer Loz Contreras under the billing Macca & Loz Contreras. That partnership produced the album Better World on Fokuz Recordings and several tracks that attracted remixes from S.P.Y, Lenzman and Technimatic — concrete touchpoints that anchor his timeline and network within the liquid sub‑scene.

As a producer, Macca’s work sits in liquid drum and bass. His releases emphasize melodic elements and polished mixdowns consistent with the labels he’s worked with. The music typically balances sustained pads and chord work with concise drum programming: layered break editing, controlled parallel compression on drums, and low‑end filtering to leave headroom for melodic material. Bass design leans toward warm, sub‑focused tones rather than aggressive neuro growls; tracks often feature clean sub‑bass layers and mid‑range movement to support chords or vocal snippets. Atmosphere is a deliberate element—reverb and delay on leads and pads create space without burying transients—and the overall finish reflects the clarity expected by remixers such as S.P.Y and Lenzman.

Career highlights that are verifiable: releases across the listed labels; the collaborative album Better World on Fokuz; and remixes of his material by S.P.Y, Lenzman and Technimatic. He has performed at major scene festivals including Sun & Bass, Let It Roll and Liquicity, presenting his productions in live and DJ contexts. Those festival appearances underline his dual role: producing studio material and translating it into DJ sets suited for liquid‑leaning lineups.

Specific influences beyond collaborators are not widely documented in public sources. What can be read from his output and associations is a clear alignment with the melodic, production‑forward wing of drum and bass represented by labels like Fokuz, Liquicity and Liquid V, and by artists who have remixed his work.

The most direct entry points to Macca’s catalogue are the Better World album (Macca & Loz Contreras) and his singles across Fokuz Recordings, Shogun Audio, Spearhead, Integral, Innerground, Liquicity and Liquid V.
