D’Julz – “At the start of this crisis I felt the strange need to look back into some of my deepest tracks and listen to them without any drum parts. They instantly sounded like they had found a new life outside of the dancefloor, like many of us have. I wanted to share them as the vibe of this collection of now ambient tracks fits perfectly within our home chilling situation.”

It’s a historic time for our planet, with half the world locked away in their homes. Feelings of isolation, bewilderment and uncertainty dominate. With everyone grounded and homebound this strange time is generating a wave of creativity, as artists channel their emotions into new projects. With ‘Silent Drums’ D’Julz explores his back catalogue, excavating a selection of tracks and remodelling them for the home environment.
The Bass Culture boss decided to go a step further than simply reissuing his old productions, stripping away the kick drums to transmute his compositions. Muting the drums on each track has led to a total transformation; each cut assuming a new identity and purpose. The result is an album that feels poignant and affecting, perfectly aligned with the mood of today.
Stripping the drums away has allowed the deep emotions and rich textures to really come to the fore. The overall ambience negates the need for drums as bass, mids and tops conspire to enrich your mind, body and soul.
Experience moments of intensity, serenity, contemplation, joy, mystery and transcendence as D’Julz invites us to immerse ourselves in the world of Silent Drums
