Justin Hawkes is one of the rare American voices reshaping the global Drum & Bass landscape. Since emerging in 2011 from the foothills of Southwest Virginia, he’s fused euphoric, festival-ready anthems with gritty, tech-driven warehouse grooves—earning support from icons like Sub Focus, Andy C, Wilkinson, RL Grime, Knife Party, Pendulum, Porter Robinson and Black Tiger Sex Machine.
After rebranding from Flite in 2020, Justin’s 2022 debut album 'Existential' announced him as an innovative rule breaker. From its scoreworthy symphonics to the viral, genre-bending country-rock single 'Better Than Gold,' the breakthrough LP showcased an alchemy of fearless songwriting and top-tier production, codifying his off-limits approach to bass music. Across platforms, his catalog has now topped 100 million streams, fueling tours in 14+ countries and sets at esteemed venues such as London's Alexandra Palace, Electric Daisy Carnival and Tomorrowland (Belgium & Brazil).
Beyond clubs and festivals, Justin’s music powers AAA game titles like Rocket League and Fortnite, while his live sets—driven by improvisation, raw energy and an undeniable American edge—offer a one‑of‑a‑kind experience that raises heart rates and begs feet to move. Whether crafting ambient interludes, swelling cinematics or obliterative drops, he remains a genre-defying force at the cutting edge of Drum & Bass.
