Varkid

Varkid is the drum and bass alias of producer Brent Kilner, whose background spans bass house and speed garage before shifting focus towards heavier, more rhythm-driven territory. What began as a side project quickly developed into a central creative outlet, allowing him to explore a broader range of ideas within drum and bass.

Early material gained traction through releases connected to the Dirtbox camp, with tracks like Bring The Fire marking a turning point in how the project was received. That momentum carried into a steady run of singles, including Cold and Wait For You, establishing a sound that balances direct dancefloor function with more atmospheric and melodic moments.

His debut album Finally, completed over several years and released in 2026, brings together that progression into a full-length body of work. The record reflects a process driven less by planning and more by accumulation, with ideas developing over time before settling into a cohesive shape.

Across his catalogue, Varkid’s approach centres on groove, pacing, and contrast, moving between styles without forcing a fixed identity, and letting each track develop from its core elements rather than a predefined direction.
