Kulture Cru started as more than a collective; it was a grassroots movement born from the beats and basslines of Philly’s underground raves. At the core was a shared mission: to create spaces where music transcends barriers and brings people together. Kulture Cru Records embodies this ethos, translating the energy of their legendary events into a record label built for global impact.
From dubstep to bass house, and experimental electronic music to drum and bass, the label’s genre-spanning approach reflects the diversity of its community. This is not just about putting out tracks—it’s about amplifying voices, telling stories, and creating music that speaks to the raw authenticity of the underground.
Enter Impact Drum & Bass: Redefining Stateside DnB
The launch of Impact Drum & Bass, Kulture Cru’s drum and bass-focused sublabel, marks a significant milestone for American DnB. While the genre has long thrived in Europe, Impact Drum & Bass is stepping up to redefine its presence stateside.
With an emphasis on high-energy production, emotionally charged tracks, and the unmistakable grit of Philly’s rave culture, Impact aims to show the world that America has its own unique voice in the DnB scene.
Expect releases that push boundaries—melding the heavy basslines of traditional DnB with influences from emo, rap, and even experimental sound design. It’s a fresh take on a beloved genre, designed to captivate fans on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Future of Philly’s Underground Influence
The international launch of Kulture Cru Records and Impact Drum & Bass is not just about music—it’s about culture. It’s a statement that Philly’s underground has a global message: rave culture is alive, thriving, and more connected than ever.
The labels plan to release music that blends cutting-edge production with heartfelt narratives, showcasing both established and emerging talent.
