Renegade Riddims: R3IDY

Introducing Jakob Reid, known professionally as R3IDY, a talented 21-year-old Drum & Bass DJ and Producer hailing from Burton-on-Trent. His passion for music stems from renowned labels like Sofa Sound and Dispatch Recordings, as well as various influential entities in the Drum & Bass industry. Noteworthy is his role as the label manager of Situate Audio, where he aspires to elevate emerging talents and established artists in the Drum & Bass realm.

R3IDY’s skills as a DJ have granted him the opportunity to share the stage with some of the most revered icons in the Drum & Bass scene. From supporting Nicky Blackmarket, Annix, Critical Impact, and Sabrina to Trex, Bryan Gee, Ill Truth, and Wingz, his talent has earned him a rightful place among the industry’s finest. Moreover, his residencies at Yamatai Records and Phase Records further showcase his position alongside an impressive roster of gifted DJs and artists who continually push the genre’s boundaries.

Despite being a relative newcomer, R3IDY has already left a lasting impression with impressive releases on esteemed labels like Trust Audio, Rebel Music, and Liondub. His recent collaboration with Natty D on a track featured on the DnB Allstars MIC further solidifies his rising prominence.
