Int Company | UA Drum & Bass

Amongst those with an eye on the European drum & bass scene, the name 'Int Company' is infamous; it's a name synonymous with quality, and one which signals a bright future for the neurofunk d&b genre. Int Company's music fuses a futuristic mindset - born from life in Ukraine and influenced by art, film, and poetry - with advanced sound design and a natural musicality. Having no formal musical training was never a barrier to these naturally gifted musicians, who began churning out tunes in 2005 after listening to artists like Black Sun Empire, Noisia, The Panacea, and BCUK. Int Company describes hearing drum & bass and electronic music for the first time through those artists like a breath of fresh air, an experience that would shape the rest of their lives. By 2008 the group had caught the eyes of promoters in Russia, where they would soon travel to participate in the Young Musicians Festival. It was a time of many firsts; first DJ set, first time watching people dance to their music, and the first time meeting many legends within the European drum & bass and electronic scenes. Needless to say, the young collective left an impression on everyone who heard them - the rest, as they say, is history. Int Company has always been about production first and DJing second; though you wouldn't know it from listening to them. Their DJ sets exist to showcase their huge arsenal of original tunes, crafted with precision and care over the years. Their penchant for razor sharp polyrhythms and elastic basslines teeming with digital energy has earned them a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking voices in neurofunk drum & bass - a duo capable of transporting listeners from their present-day reality to a place in the distant, chaotic future. It's this reputation that caught the attention of labels like Close 2 Death and Overtech Recordings in 2012 and 2013, leading to the eventual release of their debut album - 'Neuro Ukraine LP' - which set a new standard for high-energy, cutting edge sounds in d&b. 2014 saw the duo burst onto the scene in ways they never had before; releasing on the likes of Bad Taste and debuting their first 12" single on C2D, and remixing heavy hitters like Blokhe4d. It's clear now, with 2015 around the corner, that Int Company is a force to be reckoned with. Now more than ever, Sergey Chernuha and Vlad Korobka stand poised to take global drum & bass by storm - one track at a time.
