Their story begins in the early days of UK dance music. As two of the first DJs to move from house into the breakbeat-driven sounds that became Jungle and Drum & Bass, they didn’t just play the music — they created the blueprint. From pirate radio and legendary raves like Fantasia, Biology and Sunrise, to their iconic RAGE residency at London’s Heaven nightclub, Fabio & Grooverider defined an era, pushing boundaries and birthing a sound that would go on to dominate dancefloors worldwide.

As the scene grew, so did their individual legacies. Fabio channelled the soulful and melodic side of Drum & Bass through his acclaimed Speed and Swerve nights, naming & helping shape the “Liquid Funk” sound and nurturing countless vocal-led anthems such as Midnight, Shake Ur Body, and Hide U. Grooverider, meanwhile, carved his own path through the darker, more technical edge of the genre with his Prototype label, with classic releases such as Codename John, and the timeless Mysteries of Funk album.

Together and apart, their output helped define every era of Drum & Bass — from jungle’s raw beginnings to the present-day diversity of liquid, tech, minimal, jump-up, and halftime styles. Their support has been pivotal to the rise of artists like Goldie, Calibre, Bailey, Dillinja, High Contrast, Pendulum, Sigma, and countless others who credit them as a driving force in their careers.
