Alibi

Since the mid-nineties São Paulo, Brazil has given the world some of drum & bass's most celebrated artists. Over the last decade, Alibi has taken his place at the forefront. Coming from such a close-knit community of drum & bass artists in his home city – which boasts legends like Marky, Patife and XRS among its number – collaborations have played a big part in the Alibi story. With his tunes getting regular rotation in the sets of top dogs like Roni Size, London Elektricity, S.P.Y. and Bryan Gee, every new release is a download-on-sight proposition. Whether you're looking for sunlit liquid or dark and heavy roll-outs, Alibi's got you covered, with the chart positions and deejay support to prove it. And, talking of Bryan Gee, his V family of labels kept up their streak of bringing the very best Brazilian D&B to the world by picking up Alibi early on. As well as putting out music on imprints like Guidance, Flexout and CIA along the way, Alibi's relationship with V Recordings, Liquid V and Chronic has formed the bedrock of his back catalogue, leading to seminal releases like the 2018 album 'Said & Done'. With all those milestones, plus his ongoing association with labels like Hospital, Innerground and DARKMTTR and a CV that includes huge sets at places like Glastonbury, Sun & Bass, Exit Festival, Boomtown, Rampage Open Air, Fabric and The Steelyard, it's evident to everyone that Alibi's rise continues.
