TwoThirds
TwoThirds is the stage name of Lewis Michael Dransfield, a producer from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom. He works across chillstep, drum and bass, drumstep, dubstep and liquid-funk styles. His releases have appeared on Monstercat, Liquicity and Med School / Med School Music (the Hospital Records imprint). Key tracks credited to TwoThirds include "Lost", "Epiphany", "Waking Dreams" and "Hunted" (a collaboration with Priority One). Lewis also releases under the alias LVTHER, where he focuses on indie- and pop-influenced production.
Public biographical detail beyond name and location is limited. What is documented is a trajectory from melodic electronica into several bass-music subgenres via releases on the labels above. The catalogue of single tracks and label placements shows an early emphasis on liquid and chill-leaning material, with occasional moves toward heavier drumstep and dubstep energy where collaborations (for example "Hunted" with Priority One) demand it. Under LVTHER, Lewis shifts emphasis toward indie/pop production rather than the dancefloor-focused liquid and drumstep records he issued as TwoThirds.
TwoThirds’s sound is melodic and production-focused. On liquid-leaning tracks such as "Lost" and "Waking Dreams" he uses layered pads and chord progressions to carry the melody, with reverb and delay on leads and vocal fragments to create space. Drum programming leans toward tight, clean break patterning: kick and snare remain precise while higher-frequency percussion and ghost snares add groove. Bass design moves between warm sub-bass underpinning for the liquid pieces and more aggressive, mid-range bass presence on the drumstep/dubstep cuts; "Hunted" demonstrates a harder-edged low end and punchier transient shaping compared with his softer chillstep work. Arrangements prioritise melodic hooks and atmospheric build/relief over long, looped dub structures.
Production techniques apparent across his releases include layered vocal chops used as melodic motifs, sustained pad beds to frame lead lines, and careful automation of filter and reverb parameters to create movement across a track. Sidechain-style ducking between kick and pads is used to keep low-end clarity. On the heavier tracks he leans on compressed, snap-forward snares and tighter, more processed bass timbres; on the chillstep/liquid pieces the low end is rounder and more sub-focused. These choices underline the dual nature of his output: emotive, melodic pieces and club-ready drumstep/dnb material.
Career highlights are the label placements and the collaboration credited with Priority One on "Hunted". Releases on Liquicity and Med School position his work within liquid and melodic drum and bass outlets, while Monstercat placements speak to crossover into broader bass and EDM-facing channels. The LVTHER alias marks a distinct pivot in production focus toward indie and pop songwriting and vocal production, expanding his output beyond the drum and bass/dubstep spectrum.
Specific personal influences are not widely documented in public sources; what is verifiable are the stylistic connections implied by his labels and tracks. TwoThirds’s catalogue sits alongside other melodic and liquid producers by virtue of those releases, while the LVTHER project signals an explicit move into indie/pop production. He continues to appear under both names, with TwoThirds remaining the documented moniker for his chillstep, drum and bass, drumstep and dubstep work.
