Today we celebrate a milestone we are very proud of: 5 Years of Transparent Audio.
When we launched in 2020 during uncertain times, we had no idea how much love and support the label would receive. What began as a home for new talent has grown into something much bigger. It has become a family of artists, friends, and supporters who have shaped Transparent Audio into what it is today.
Over these years, we have seen our artists push boundaries, develop their sound, and find their place in the ever growing Drum & Bass scene. It has not always been easy, but their dedication, creativity, and passion towards one another drive the label forward.
To mark the anniversary, we are releasing a special compilation that brings it all together. Long-standing artists alongside exciting new faces, covering the full Transparent Audio sound. Including deep, minimal sonics, weighty rollers, soulful explorations, and everything in between. More than just a release, it reflects our journey so far and gives a glimpse of what is to come.
Transparent Audio has always delovped a strong ethos of friendships, collaborations, and community and this shows since the beginning. To everyone who has supported us, whether from day one or just recently: Thank You. The past five years have been incredible, and this is just Part 1 of our celebrations., so keep those eyes peeled.
Following the success of our 5 Years VA, weāre thrilled to announce Part 2 of the celebration, a special remix project reimagining the Transparent Audio discography through the lens of some of our favourite artists in the scene right now. This release is a huge moment for us, bringing fresh energy and new perspectives to the music thatās defined our journey so far.
Itās a perfect representation of the Transparent Audio sound, blending deep minimal grooves, soulful liquid textures, rolling rhythms, and everything in between. Each remix captures another aspect of what the label is all about: forward-thinking production, musicality, and a shared passion for pushing drum & bass forward.
This project not only celebrates how far weāve come but also rounds off our five-year milestone and closes out 2025 in true Transparent Audio style. Weād like to extend our deepest thanks to all the incredible artists involved in this project. Their creativity, dedication, and artistry continue to embody the heart and spirit of Transparent Audio.
And finally, weād like to give a huge thank you to everyone whoās been part of the journey, from our artists and collaborators whoāve shaped our sound, to the listeners, friends, and supporters whoāve stood by us over the years. Your continued support is what drives Transparent Audio, and we wouldnāt be celebrating this milestone without you.

Transparent Audio is a label that consistently introduces me to new artists. šæ
Founded by Thomas Davies in 2020 with a core focus on building a platform for up-and-coming talent, he has built a really strong and supportive foundation.
The sound spans across drum & bass, dubstep and 140, but thereās always a deeper, more thoughtful feel running through the releases.
Revisiting Transparent Audioās 5-year anniversary project recently reminded me how varied and well-curated the catalogue has already become.
Iām really excited to hear where the labelās sound goes next!

Vienna based artist Anvo steps into the spotlight with his debut EP āGloomā
Marking the beginning of what promises to be a bright future, Anvo showcases a refined approach to sound design and groove, demonstrating a level of craftsmanship that sets him apart as an emerging talent to watch.
Anvo delivers a collection of tracks that highlight his ability to balance dark atmospheric depth with driving rhythms. His attention to detail in sound design and his instinct for groove come together seamlessly, resulting in a release that feels both immersive and forward-thinking.
Anvo began producing at just 15 in 2021, initially inspired by a close friend and a growing curiosity for the craft. Early influences come from discovering Visagesā Yalda EP, a release that plays a key role in shaping the direction of his sound, with the deeper, more nuanced edge of that āCriticalā sound, remaining a constant source of inspiration. He goes on to secure his first release with IN Recordings, followed by Empathy Audio, further cementing his evolving artistic identity.
The story behind the EP is rooted in a real connection. We first met at our 5 Year event in Graz, Austria, where a brief introduction quickly developed into something more. Not long after returning to the UK, a folder of music from Anvo lands in our inbox, and it becomes clear almost immediately that thereās something special there. From that moment, the collaboration naturally takes shape.
With āGloomā, Anvo establishes a clear artistic identity while highlighting the role of connection and discovery at the core of the scene.

Revan - Blame
While āNot Invisibleā with Kiah has been getting the love, today weāre shining light on the flip side of the release, āBlameā is a soulful meets club track built for late nights and in the headphones.
Thank you for the support on āNot Invisible / Blameā the response has been incredible the past week.
Looks like this soulful, club driven Drum & Bass sound is hitting the mark, so whoās ready for more like this?
