Matt Montgomery, known professionally as DRZ, is a drum and bass producer and DJ from Reading, United Kingdom. He records and performs under the DRZ name and works primarily in drum and bass, with releases issued through labels including Elevate Records, NuForm, Pull Up Recordings, DNB Allstars, STMPD and Universal Music Group.

DRZ began DJing while studying at university in Brighton and started performing at around age 19. Early bookings led to regular UK dates, including shows in London and Bristol. In 2024 he made his first billed appearances outside the UK, debuting in both Europe and Asia.

Public, verifiable coverage of DRZ’s work includes features on UKF and on Sigma’s BeatsBassLife. His artist pages and releases are available on SoundCloud, Beatport and Qobuz. He is represented by Bolt Artists / MBArtists, which handles his bookings and artist management.

Detailed, published descriptions of DRZ’s production techniques are limited in public sources. Listenable evidence—his label releases and tracks hosted on SoundCloud/Beatport/Qobuz and those promoted via UKF and Sigma’s platform—offer the clearest view of his sound. Those releases present DRZ as a producer arranging full drum and bass tracks for release and playlist promotion; listeners can refer to those pages for close, track‑level examples of his programming, bass design and arrangement choices.

Career highlights that can be stated from public records are the set of labels that have released his music (Elevate Records, NuForm, Pull Up Recordings, DNB Allstars, STMPD, Universal Music Group), the media features (UKF, Sigma’s BeatsBassLife), and his touring footprint from UK club dates in cities such as London and Bristol to his 2024 debuts in Europe and Asia. His profiles on major distribution platforms (SoundCloud, Beatport, Qobuz) collect those releases and previews for direct listening.

Public information does not list specific personal influences or named mentor artists. For listeners or bookers seeking a clearer sense of DRZ’s stylistic details and signature sounds, the most reliable sources are his label releases and the tracks posted to his SoundCloud, Beatport and Qobuz pages, and the features on UKF and BeatsBassLife that highlight select releases.
