DJ Trace

DJ Trace https://linktr.ee/DSCI4 DJ Trace (Duncan Hutchison) is a pioneer of the British drum & bass scene, best known for shaping the techstep sound.

Starting out in London’s rave scene in the late '80s, he worked at iconic record stores like Zoom and Lucky Spin, and debuted with Inception before joining Kool FM with MC Ryme Tyme. His 1995 remix of T Power's Horny Mutant Jazz became a techstep classic, leading to key collaborations and the landmark Torque LP on No U Turn. He later launched the DSCI4 label, pushing the genre forward globally. Trace helped introduce jungle to the US, performing at NYC’s legendary NASA rave in 1993. Today, he continues to innovate through projects like Nine Windows with Kid Drama, releasing on CNVX and Metalheadz, and hosting a monthly show on Kool FM. Always evolving, always influential—Trace bridges the roots of DnB with its future.

🌑 OUT NOW — Eternal Dawn EP by J-Kon
Exclusive via Bandcamp.

DSCI4 welcomes back New Zealand’s J-Kon with a four-track statement of dark shadow techstep — built for depth, tension, and system pressure.

Featuring:
• Eternal Dawn
• Abscent
• Descendant World
• Vanish

From the ominous roll of the title track to the skeletal minimalism of Abscent and the hypnotic close of Vanish, this EP delivers a stripped-back futuristic sound driven by precise drum work, cold atmospheres, and weighty low-end designed for late-night listening.

No filler. Pure techstep intent.
