Broken Note operate at the heavier end of electronic music, where cinematic sound design meets industrial force and low-end pressure. Their work folds metal-informed aggression into dark drum & bass frameworks, layering distorted leads and reese basslines across tightly engineered rhythmic structures. The result is dense, immersive and deliberately constructed — music that carries both physical impact and detailed production craft.
Since their debut LP on Ad Noiseam, Broken Note have released across a broad spectrum of labels including Boka Records, PRSPCT Recordings, Ninja Tune, Division Recordings, Par Excellence and OWSLA. That trajectory reflects a project able to sit comfortably across scenes — from experimental electronica to bass music and harder industrial spaces — without diluting its identity.
Their production work has intersected with a wide range of artists, including collaborations and remixes connected to I Am Legion, Amon Tobin, Juno Reactor, Richard Devine, DJ Hidden and Current Value. Broken Note’s material formed a recurring component of Amon Tobin’s ISAM AV live tour, alongside a commissioned remix of “GoTo 10”, reinforcing the project’s reputation for large-scale, technically ambitious sound design.
Subsequent releases such as Black Mirror, Nightcrawler and Rust In Peace saw a shift toward faster tempos and sharper structural frameworks. That evolution culminated in the full-length album Exit the Void — a focused and fully realised statement that distilled the project’s core traits: precision engineering, oppressive atmosphere and heavyweight rhythmic control. The record expanded the cinematic scope while tightening the percussive architecture, balancing intensity with clarity in a way that underlined Broken Note’s maturity as a production force.
Across clubs, festivals and warehouse environments alike, Broken Note deliver music built for scale — expansive in atmosphere, disciplined in execution and uncompromising in weight.
