Since we all hid out and binge watched Tiger King and baked banana bread things have changed quickly in the US Drum and Bass community. A lot of this can be traced directly to the site Best Drum and Bass. Through news, mixes, streams, and the Electronic Press Kits the site has been lifting up the music we love. Owner and Abducted label boss Bad Syntax along with a long list of knowledgeable contributing writers including Octane Amy, D34d b34t, Strex, Tonto, Menyush, keep the information flowing and mixes curated by MikeGBeard1. The site has a massive backlog of news articles and Drum and Bass release reviews.
The site offers plenty of ways for the DJs and producers to get involved. They host the "#1 podcast on iTunes in the "new and noteworthy" area of the music category". This is normally recorded live from Twitch and then posted including a guest mix, giving anyone from up and coming DJ to seasoned vet a chance to reach a newer audience.

Bad Syntax and crew also offer tools for the DJ community at large, including Electronic Press Kit for a 1 time fee and not a subscription. This gives the community a chance to put their information centralized with other US Drum and Bass artists, allowing them in between the cracks of a non genre specific option, just another way of lifting the drum and bass community globally.
For the label owners there is also promo mailer service. Get your tunes into the hands of those who will showcase them.
Having spent the better part of the last 30 years in the drum and bass community it is refreshing to see someone working so hard to raise the entire US community. We need to come together to continue to show that US Drum and Bass is thriving. Biggest ups to Bad Syntax and the entire Best Drum and Bass crew.
A separate but related note, we lost one of our own unexpectedly. If you have means please donate to his family HERE
