The UK’s leading underground Drum & Bass collective, Makino Agency, will make its official Miami Music Week debut on March 24, 2026, bringing a dedicated Drum & Bass showcase to MAZUMA club. The event arrives in collaboration with Diverse Music Talent, American Grime, and the Apex team, marking a significant moment for a genre rapidly gaining traction across the United States.
Positioned as both a cultural exchange and a platform for rising talent, the night will bridge UK innovators and emerging American artists. Headlining the lineup are Drum & Bass standouts Monrroe and Sustance, joined by regional collective Rumble in the Jungle and supporting acts Orchid, Alphaxero, Brightwing, and Jumanji.
Monrroe arrives in Miami following a sustained rise fueled by tens of millions of Spotify streams and collaborations with prominent vocalists, including Emily Makis, Clementine Douglas, and Charlotte Haining. His melodic and cinematic approach has positioned him among the most recognizable contemporary Drum & Bass exports.
Sustance, meanwhile, continues his global ascent following the deluxe release of his debut album Perceived Connections on Shogun Audio. Featuring collaborations with Flowdan, T-Man, and Catching Cairo, the project has further cemented his reputation as one of the genre’s most forward-thinking producers. His growing profile includes major festival appearances such as Coachella, underscoring Drum & Bass’ expanding presence on global stages.
The showcase arrives at a pivotal moment for the genre. While Miami Music Week has historically centered on house and techno, Drum & Bass has experienced a sharp surge in global listenership. Streaming data indicates a 94 percent increase in plays over the past three years, with younger audiences driving much of that growth. Nearly 70 percent of listeners are under 34, signaling a generational shift and renewed momentum for the sound.
Originally rooted in the UK’s underground, Drum & Bass has steadily expanded across American club circuits and festival lineups, supported by grassroots communities and growing institutional backing. Makino Agency’s Miami debut reflects this broader evolution, connecting two thriving scenes while spotlighting the genre’s growing cultural and commercial impact.
As Drum & Bass continues to gain visibility across North America, Makino Agency’s Miami Music Week debut stands as a defining moment—bringing one of electronic music’s most dynamic and fast-evolving sounds to one of its most influential global stages.
