Edward Allen, known professionally as Etherwood, is a British producer and DJ from Lincoln, England, now based in London. Within drum and bass and jungle his work is most frequently associated with liquid/atmospheric strands of DnB, alongside links to chillstep, dubstep, neo-soul and UK garage across his broader output.

He began releasing under the Etherwood name in 2011. One of his earliest credited appearances was the Jakwob & Etherwood remix of Lana Del Rey’s "Video Games" (2011). In 2012 he contributed the track "Give It Up" to Hospital Records’ Sick Music 3 compilation. Etherwood’s debut studio album, titled Etherwood, was released on 4 November 2013 through Med School / Hospital Records and entered the UK Albums Chart. Since then he has issued multiple studio albums and remixes, received airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra, and been recognised by the D&B Arena awards with Best Newcomer DJ and Best Newcomer Producer.

As a producer Etherwood’s arrangements put strong melodic and vocal elements at the centre. His recorded work commonly layers sung vocals and songwriting with sustained pads, spacious reverbs and detailed high-frequency ambience to create an emotive top end over rolling drum patterns. Bass design in his tracks tends to favour warm, sub‑driven low end rather than aggressive distortion; percussion is frequently programmed as smooth, syncopated breaks that sit behind melodic hooks and chord progressions. Those choices link his productions to liquid and liquid-funk substyles while allowing crossovers into chillstep, drumstep and downtempo bass music.

On the DJ side Etherwood pairs that production sensibility with sets that emphasise harmonic flow and melodic continuity. He has been recognised for his DJ work through the D&B Arena Best Newcomer DJ award. His radio plays on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra have supported both his recorded material and remix work, giving specific tracks exposure to wider UK bass audiences.

Concrete career highlights include the 2011 Jakwob & Etherwood remix of "Video Games", the 2012 Hospital Records placement of "Give It Up" on Sick Music 3, and the self-titled debut album released 4 November 2013 on Med School / Hospital Records. Those releases established his profile as a singer‑songwriter as well as a producer and helped secure broadcast plays and scene awards that followed.

Public statements naming specific personal influences are limited; however, Etherwood’s catalogue and the genres attached to his name show clear ties to neo-soul and UK R&B songwriting approaches, liquid drum and bass production techniques, and elements borrowed from chillstep and UK garage textures. He remains active as a producer and DJ, with a recorded catalogue that includes his 2013 album on Med School / Hospital Records alongside subsequent studio albums and remix work that have sustained his presence on radio and in the UK bass scene.
