Vanguard DNB

Jerseys' foundation Drum and Bass promoters who have been representing this sound since 1994. Terminal State aka Robin & Lee who run Vanguard have had other brands such as Elementz and Terminolgy holding events all over Jersey, Guersney, England and Holland. 

Orignally both DJ's and producers they have had their music played across the globe on radio stations such as BBC Radio 1 & Kiss FM and by all the leading names in Drum and Bass. Playing at such iconic venues like Labyrinth, Bar Rumba and The End they have been involved in D&B since the very start also signing to such heavyweight legendary labels such as Renegade Harware and Formation to name a few.

Their progression as event organisers started when they craved a platform to play the music they loved to fellow friends after making many trips to London to experince events like New Jack City, Dreamscape, World Dance etc and to bring these unique vibes and underground culture to their birth place and hence the Jungle/Drum and Bass scene was born in Jersey.

Originally starting at small long gone venues such as Pesos & Vespas holding around 50-80 people this progressed as they broke new ground to hold events at Jersey biggest clubs at the time, The Watersplash, Madisons and The Venue. This in turn brought a new sound to the island and tuned into a new generation of junglists against a dominate house music scene, along the way getting a lot of dislike and what kinda music is this? which only motivated them further.

 Their 1st ever guests were MC Power, L Double and DBO General. This was followed by the biggest names at the time, artists such as Goldie, Grooverider, Fabio, Randall & Hype who delivered legendary sets which will forever live long in the memory, such an exciting time when the music was breaking new ground week on week.
