This week, we spotlight Chook, a pioneering figure in the drum and bass scene whose early work helped shape the Neurofunk sound that so many of us, myself included, have revolved their musical journey around. Emerging in the early 2000s, Chook quickly made a name with impactful releases and the legendary label he helped run Full Force, where his intricate basslines and precise beats pushed the boundaries of drum and bass and established new standards in Neurofunk.
After a period away from the scene, Chook has made a compelling return with his new label, Sound of Time. This imprint serves as a personal platform for him to release music true to his artistic vision, free from the constraints of current trends. To mark his comeback, Chook delivered a guest mix for the Best Drum and Bass podcast, showcasing his evolved style—a blend of atmospheric depth and raw energy that both longtime fans and new listeners can appreciate. I know that I have personally listened to the guest mix on repeat as it has been such a refreshing reminder of all the amazing sounds that I love in DNB.
