[EXIT RECORDS]

ベテランプロデューサであり、ドラムンベース界で最も経験値の高いアーティストの1人である DARREN WHITE こと dBridge。DANIEL STEIN、MICHAEL WOJCICKI らと共に BAD COMPANY UK を結成し、同年 BC RECORDINGS からリリースされた "THE NINE" で衝撃的なデビューを飾る。
その後も "THE PULSE" , "PLANET DUST" , "SPACE HOPPER" など数々のアンセムを生み出し、シーンのトップに躍り出る。また実兄である STEVE SPACEK の楽曲も制作するなどドラムンベースだけでなく幅広いジャンルで活躍している。
'04 年より自身のレーベル EXIT RECORDS をスタート。また CALIBRE や COMMIX などとのコラボレーションシリーズをリリースする "EXIT VS." も立ち上げた。そして FABIO の CREATIVE SOUCE や BRYAN GEE の LIQUID V からのシングル "CHINA BLUE", ZINC の BINGO BEATS から EP "MONO CHROME" をリリースするなど、様々なレーベルからリリースを精力的に続けている。SP:MC とのコンビネーションでは予測不能なインスピレーション溢れるライブセットでフロアを大いに沸かせ、'09 年に発足した INSTRA : MENTAL, BURIAL, SKREAM, MARTYN, GOLDIE 達とのプロジェクトがついにベールを脱ぐ。
'11 年には再び焦点を自身のレーベル Exit Records に当てプロデューサーとしての才能を発揮すると同時に、ドラムンベースの領域を広げ、独自の音楽と先を見据えた姿勢でより世界のクラウドを魅了し続けている。

A veteran producer and one of the most experienced artists in drum & bass, Darren White aka dBridge is an artist whose multiple transformations and evolutions glide through a staggering list of achievements. Combining forces with two equally divisive producers, Fresh and Vegas, the scene-defining Bad Company created anthems such as 'Planet Dust,' 'Hornet,' 'The Nine'. In '03, dBridge opened a new chapter with the first release on his own label Exit Records. 'Libra b/w The Bride' was soon followed by more solo outings, across a string of high profile labels including Soul:r, Creative Source, Liquid V and Metalheadz. Exit Versus plays host to dBridge's collaborations with other artists and the first three singles saw him cross swords with the likes of Commix, Concord Dawn, A.I. and Fierce. Previous volumes have included luminaries such as Calibre, Survival, Rufige Kru and Instra:mental, each providing music with integrity and longevity and enhancing Exit's reputation as a label with the strictest quality control. In '08, Exit released dBridge's first solo LP 'The Gemini Principle' to widespread critical acclaim with several tracks showcasing his talents as a vocalist as well as a producer, a sure sign of a confident artist not afraid to stamp his own personality on his music. In '11, along with creating more scene stealing solo productions, Exit Records' musical direction and artist stable has become the main focus for dBridge's attention. Constantly exploring the potential and boundaries of drum & bass music and staying several steps ahead of the rest, it seems inevitable that he will eternally remain one of the leading lights in independent underground music.
