Sub Zero

Jake Carter, known professionally as Sub Zero, is a producer and DJ working primarily in jump‑up drum & bass. He launched his solo career in 2009 and is based in Bristol, United Kingdom. His documented releases include the Bi Polar EP and The Collab EP (2016). Sub Zero has released music on labels including Playaz / Real Playaz and Formation Records and has received radio play and DJ support from Andy C, Hype and Grooverider.

Public biographical detail before 2009 is limited; what is verifiable is that Sub Zero began releasing solo material from 2009 onward and established connections with established DnB labels and tastemakers. His placement on Playaz / Real Playaz and on Formation Records, together with airplay from major DJs, marks his recorded output as part of the commercial jump‑up circuit rather than purely underground white‑label runs.

Musically, Sub Zero works in jump‑up drum & bass with crossovers into other bass styles listed in his profile (bass house, dubstep, grime, UK garage and related bass music strands). In a jump‑up context his tracks commonly foreground punchy, mid‑range basslines and compact, DJ‑friendly arrangements: tight, looped amen/roll variants and short, clean build/ drop structures designed for club mixing. Production techniques associated with his style include focused bass design (saw and reese‑style voicings), compressed sub layers for dancefloor weight, and bite‑forward snare processing; those elements align with jump‑up’s emphasis on immediacy and DJ cueing rather than long-form ambient development.

On record, the Bi Polar EP and The Collab EP (both cited in his discography) serve as concrete examples of his output from 2016 onward. He has worked with the infrastructure of UK DnB through releases on Playaz / Real Playaz and Formation Records, and his tracks have been supported on radio and in sets by Andy C, Hype and Grooverider — factual touchpoints that document his reach within the scene. As both producer and DJ, Sub Zero’s role is dual: producing tracks crafted for club play and slotting those records into DJ sets where the tight arrangements and jump‑up energy translate on systems and radio mixes.

Specific public information about collaborators or earlier projects beyond the named EPs and label credits is limited; the concrete, verifiable connections are his 2009 solo launch, the Bi Polar EP and The Collab EP (2016), releases on Playaz / Real Playaz and Formation Records, and support from Andy C, Hype and Grooverider. These facts form the documented record of Sub Zero’s presence in the drum & bass / jungle community.
