Coco Bryce
Based in the Netherlands, he has spent more than two decades shaping a distinctive voice within jungle and drum & bass, blending emotional depth, rave nostalgia and forward-thinking production with quiet consistency.
Drawn into underground dance music in the late ’90s, Coco Bryce’s earliest influences came from hardcore and gabber before he gravitated toward jungle’s faster rhythms and expressive freedom. That early foundation still runs through his work today: intricate breakbeats, rich atmospheres and melodies that feel both reflective and euphoric. His music doesn’t recreate the past, it reframes it, filtering early rave energy through a modern, finely tuned lens.
Across releases on labels such as Myor, Lobster Theremin and Critical Music, Coco Bryce has demonstrated an ability to move fluidly within jungle’s many shades. Tracks like Night on Earth and Wuthering Heights stand out for their lush textures and emotional weight, pairing detailed drum programming with melodies that linger long after the mix fades out. There’s a subtlety to his productions, a sense of restraint and intention, that gives them lasting replay value.
Vinyl culture sits at the heart of Coco Bryce’s approach, both as a producer and a DJ. His dedication to the physical format and the traditions of underground dance music has helped cement his reputation as a custodian of jungle’s heritage. At the same time, his work feels unmistakably current, resonating with new audiences discovering the sound through today’s revival.
