KRAKOTA (Hospital Records)
As one of the new breed of producers making waves from the coast, it’s fair to say Bournemouth based Sebastian Inwood, aka Krakota, has made a strong and steady incline during his drum & bass career to date. A career started aged 15 when, like many teenagers, he was drawn to DJ’ing after initially finding his musical feet playing the drums and piano. It was in 2006 when the music making bug first grabbed a hold of Seb, leading to nights spent holed up in his home studio learning the basics and honing his skills.
Fast forward to 2016 and he signed exclusively to one of the biggest D&B labels around in Hospital Records and released his debut album Strange System to much acclaim. With follow up projects already under way and a DJ diary packed with Hospitalities and shows across the continent, you can be sure there will be no way of escaping Krakota’s bass heavy, break laden productions any time soon.
