Phibes are a UK drum-and-bass duo, reported to be brothers, who produce and DJ. Their output sits firmly in the DnB/jungle orbit while drawing on a wide raft of UK bass styles; their catalogue and DJ sets move between jungle, bassline and related UK bass forms and also touch on liquid funk and other hybrid sounds listed in their profile.

Publicly available biographical detail is limited, but what is documented is concrete: Phibes have released music on DnB Allstars, Jungle Cakes, Phat Planet, Born On Road and Korsakov Music. They perform DJ sets at clubs and international festivals, and agency and booking announcements list them on contemporary festival lineups. Their music and releases have appeared on platforms such as Beatport, Juno and SoundCloud.

Musically, Phibes fold jungle rhythmic vocabulary into bassline and broader UK-bass motifs. In production they favour fast, syncopated break patterns and edited drum programming that push energy in the 160–175 BPM DnB range; in other material they adopt the swung, rolling patterns associated with bassline and UK garage. Their bass design emphasizes weight and movement — prominent low-end sub work for club impact alongside mid-range bass motion that carries riffs and hooks. For the more liquid-leaning tracks they add layered atmospherics and pads; on the heavier rollers and jungle-influenced pieces they use tight, aggressive mids and stabs to cut through sound systems.

As producers and DJs they operate in two complementary roles. In the studio they build tracks that combine rapid break edits, pitched vocals or chopped samples, and heavy basslines suited for dancefloors and pirate/rave-style sets. On the decks they sequence those tracks alongside other UK bass and jungle material, aiming for high-energy transitions and track selection that foregrounds percussive drive and low-end impact. Their sets are noted for blending jungle swings with bassline drive rather than sticking to a single subgenre.

Their releases on labels such as DnB Allstars and Jungle Cakes place them among contemporary club-focused DnB outlets; appearances on Phat Planet, Born On Road and Korsakov Music further underscore their connection to UK bass and jungle-adjacent scenes. Beyond label credits, the group’s visibility on Beatport, Juno and SoundCloud and their festival and club bookings are the clearest public markers of their activity and reach.

Specific personal influences or named collaborations are not widely documented in public sources; the clearest verifiable connections for Phibes are their label relationships and the documented booking announcements and platform features. For listeners and bookers, those labels and the catalogue visibility on Beatport, Juno and SoundCloud are the reliable reference points for the duo’s work.

Listen for their signature: jungle-informed drum edits, bassline movement in the mid- and low-end, and DJ sets that splice those elements together — and check DnB Allstars, Jungle Cakes, Phat Planet, Born On Road and Korsakov Music for their confirmed releases and catalogue entries.
