Hi I go by the name Vengeance I'm based in Norwich. I have been making Drum & Bass for about 5 years and DJing for about 7 years.
Hailing from the East of England Vengeance aka D.J. B-Rone began Mixing at the end of 1998. After playing a few small gigs at pubs and clubs, getting a much needed break, getting a slot on the air waves and began to make his way up the ladder playing on Pirate Radio stations in Norwich 1st Flight Fm then Style Fm and then stylish Fm getting a good following of listeners who would tune in to hear B-Rone and Mc Fuze who would later change his name to Fierce and now uses the name Force. B-Rone and Force started playing the grave yard shifts 4.00 till 6.00 am and soldiered on to get a prime time slot of 10-12pm every Friday night. Junglists in and around the Norwich region would tune in every week to hear the latest cutting edge drum and bass. There Reputation Getting both B-Rone and Force bookings as far as Newmarket's Club-M. In 2004 B-Rone came 1st in the Young Musician of the East Award claiming the title of Best D.J. in the East 2004 which was judged by the man himself Goldie. Winning this put B-Rone in the spot light and Booking began to roll in, playing big Norwich Nights such as Rumble, Locked on Locked in and Bounce. at Venues such as The Waterfront and Norwich's Sports village. Winning the award also took him to London where he played at Camden palace. After this success B-Rone began to concentrate on making Drum and Bass and now goes by the name Vengeance. Currently Vengeance is an unsigned artist looking for that first release and plans to set up his own label in the near future!
