Gutterfunk

Gutterfunk was founded in 2012 by DJ Die, one of Bristol’s most enduring innovators. Created as a response to the limitations of genre boundaries, the label became a home for music that merges drum & bass, jungle, house, hip hop and wider UK bass culture. Its name reflects its ethos: gritty and streetwise yet deeply soulful and forward-looking.

The catalogue highlights the collaborative spirit that defines Gutterfunk. Releases have featured Addison Groove, Break, Sam Binga, Dismantle and Jus Now, alongside Die’s own productions. The All Subject to Vibes compilation encapsulated this vision, fusing sounds and artists across the spectrum while staying true to Bristol’s independent tradition.

More than a label, Gutterfunk has become a cultural hub. Its influence extends into events and radio, with showcases and a long-running slot on Rinse FM. By consistently championing innovation and collaboration, Gutterfunk has secured its place as a vital force within UK underground music, bridging generations and styles under one roof.
