John Bryn Williams (born 1977 in Maidenhead, Berkshire, United Kingdom) is … Read Full Bio ↴John Bryn Williams (born 1977 in Maidenhead, Berkshire, United Kingdom) is a drum and bass DJ and producer from the UK. He is widely known for having very wild hair and a talent for producing cutting edge drum and bass tracks. While his trademark sound has evolved through the years, it generally involves catchy female vocals and trance-like synths (at one point this style was dubbed "trance and bass"). His most recent sound of choice is '80s and electroclash influenced, electro/drum n bass (at one point dubbed "electrostep") which at first (around early 2002) seemed very odd (and comical) to some in the drum and bass community. However, this move has given John the ability to carrying drum and bass forward in his own special way. He has dabbled in dark tearout drum n bass, as well as experimenting in jazz influences, and other styles too numerous to list here.

John B started producing music at the age of 13 and now is the head of drum and bass record label called Beta Recordings. He also runs three other sub-labels called Nu Electro, Tangent, and Chihuahua respectively. These labels were formed to cater to the more diverse subgenres of drum n bass.

He was educated at Durham University...

You're number one oh yeah
You are the number one oh yeah
I need your presence to stay
There's not enough words to say
How you're making a new way
The way your glory shines on me
Your love reveals the truth that I'm free
You're number one and always with me

Your number one plans revealed to me
You're number one and always with me
You're number one plans revealed to me
You're number one, yeah you're number one
You are the goodness here oh yeah
Oh how you bring me tears of joy
Oh yes your mercy it restores
Love always knocking on my door
Thank you for showing me the way
In you my heart has now been saved
You're number one and always with me
You're number one plans revealed to me
You're number one and always with me
You're number one plans revealed to me
You're number one and always with me
You're always with me
Life seems to fly by so fast
I just want a love that lasts
You are the hope for all, I know
I need your light in me to grow
With my hopes and dreams anew
I learn to place my trust in you
Heaven and earth shall fade away
Not one of your words will ever fail
Cause you're number one, oh yeah you're number one
I love your mercy renews each day
How can I ever now complain
In you my heart is now awake

This is one of the first ever dnb songs I listened to in 2010 and how glad I was to find it. After years of obsessing, almost a decade later, I still try to catch up on dnb but it's hard to compare the excitement to how it was and how it sounded.

I Believe it's the Artist fault that it does....
They are forever Learning.....GRowing

Always looking to discover the next best SOUND. And in doing that they are the ones who push their Creations to grow up faster and FASTER, Each new song EVOLVES
out of its predecessor.
We as humans kinda cant just stay the same forever and always....we got to grow.....
