Get to know the artist

Sub Focus is the production and DJ name of Nick Douwma. His roots are in jungle and drum and bass, with a forceful dancefloor approach that also draws on sounds from across electronic music.

Explore the catalogue

The official music page links Evolve, Torus and his self-titled album, offering different stages of his recorded work. Solar System and Siren provide shorter starting points; the video section gives another way to explore his music.

Sound

Drum and bass is the centre of gravity, but Insomniac’s artist profile describes a deliberately broad electronic palette. Treat the genre as a starting point for listening rather than a guarantee that every track or set stays within it.
