Support your local scene

NAP DNB was formed in an effort to bring all the sounds of drum and bass back to the forefront of local dance culture and provide an outlet for impassioned underground music talent. Supporting local talent is essential because it allows current and future generations to thrive. Our principle is: "Oneness to the fullest. More love. More life. Maximum respect."

Who We Are

The NAP DNB crew was founded in 2014 to provide a single source for drum and bass in the city and throughout the state. NAP DNB stems from the nickname "Naptown" coined by early jazz musicians in reference to our city name Indianapolis. Since a recent local resurgence in the electronic music scene has occurred, a group of like-minded individuals saw the need to create a way to bring the love and oneness of drum and bass to the community where it was ostensibly underrepresented. Indiana and Indianapolis, in particular, has a surprisingly strong history as far as drum and bass and jungle is concerned. Dave Owen, Parallel NSF, Sumone, Jahba, Gizzmo, and Manic have all hailed from this city at one point or another.
