Simply Dread is a Huddersfield jungle producer and DJ whose records are part of the UK Jungle catalogue. Known as Dave on his own artist account, he is listed among the label’s core team, alongside other producers contributing music to its releases.
The five-track Trek 1, 2 appeared in May 2018. Its titles include Run Things, Ganja Lickshot, and Sphinx, with the title track sharing space with four other originals. Rather than a lone compilation appearance, the release gives listeners a complete set of Simply Dread productions to explore.
His wider catalogue includes Pressure and Propa Bechi, with later music also appearing on his own account. Alongside the releases, that account points listeners towards Radgepacket Rekords and Huddersfield’s Junglism community, connecting the studio work with the local scene.
UK Jungle has given his music a place alongside artists from other cities, while his own uploads provide a less formal way to hear what he has been making. For anyone discovering him through the label, Trek 1, 2 is a straightforward starting point before moving into the rest of those recordings.
