Killer Hertz

The Work

Killer Hertz makes drum and bass that moves between the studio and the stage without losing anything in translation. Signed to Viper Recordings, supported by BBC Radio One, and responsible for remixes that took already-massive tracks and made them hit harder.

The Fatboy Slim remix — “Right Here Right Now” reworked with Friction — sits at 4.5 million Spotify streams. That’s a dance music standard turned into a drum and bass weapon, and it landed because the production has weight behind it. Not a bootleg. Not a flip. A rebuild from the ground up that earned its place alongside the original.

That remix opened doors, but it wasn’t the beginning. Killer Hertz has reworked tracks for Matrix & Futurebound, Friction, Example, and DJ Fresh — artists who don’t hand their music to producers they don’t trust. Each remix adds a layer of low-end pressure and rhythmic precision that’s become the signature: clean, heavy, controlled.

Released on Elevate Records, SKINT, and Viper Recordings — labels that span the spectrum from underground to crossover, because the music works in both rooms.

Live

Killer Hertz isn’t just a studio alias. It’s a live act — a full band setup that brings drum and bass to a stage in a way that DJ sets can’t replicate.

Festival stages, sold-out European shows, headline sets that run on live energy rather than pre-planned transitions. The live format forces everything to be tighter — no safety net of beatmatching software, no endless library to fall back on. Just the music, played in real time, in front of people who’ll know immediately if it doesn’t hit.

“If it works live, it works everywhere.”

The Sound

15 million streams and counting. A catalogue built on a specific set of principles: sub-bass that’s felt before it’s heard, drum patterns that swing without losing precision, and a refusal to chase whatever subgenre is trending this month.

Killer Hertz doesn’t make background music. It doesn’t make tracks for playlists you fall asleep to. It makes drum and bass for sound systems that can handle it — and for people who know the difference.
