We have been involved in dance music for over 8 years – working in the areas of DJing, record shop sales, promoting and production, so we understand it deeplyl from several different angles.
Having promoted Repercussion, one of the UK’s leading independent drum & bass events for 3 years, we noticed the need for an outlet providing the best in both established and rising talent that is run by knowledgeable, friendly and professional people who genuinely care about the music.
This is where Reprise comes in. Our aim is to facilitate events and be a real positive force in driving both the music and the scene forward on a global scale.
