DLR

DLR is a Bristol-based DJ / producer and founder of the record label Sofa Sound Bristol, with close involvement in other projects such as The Sauce and OneMind. Emerging as an artist over the past decade, DLR (short for Dirty le Roi) continues today just as he started off – constantly creating new music, experimenting in the studio and developing his sound.

The back catalogue is proof, with releases on Dispatch (home to his first 3 albums), Metalheadz, 31 Recordings, Utopia, Symmetry and C.I.A., plus a handful of quality remixes for artists like Noisia, Camo & Krooked, Hybrid Minds, Spectrasoul, Roni Size, Zero T and Q-Project.

Sofa Sound Bristol is his main home today; the label he started in 2017 has built a loyal following, releasing his collabs with Break, Randall, Ulterior Motive and supporting newer acts like Molecular, Ill Truth and M-zine. Much loved for its distinctive music, art direction and events, the label won Drum&Bass Arena’s ‘Best Newcomer Label’ award in 2020.
