Hype Label of the Month: Trust Audio
London’s Trust Audio steps into the spotlight as Beatport’s Hype Label of the Month, celebrating a decade of underground drum & bass built on soundsystem pressure and forward momentum.

Founded in London in 2016 by Joe ‘Trex’ and Tommy (QU357), the label Trust Audio started as a heads-down passion project between friends and quietly grew into one of the UK’s most trusted names in underground drum & bass. Built on a love of DJ culture and proper sound system pressure, the label has always put the music first – no gimmicks, no shortcuts.
Trust moves freely across the D&B spectrum. One release might lean deep and techy, the next hits with full dance floor energy, while others drift into liquid territory – but everything lands with weight and intent. The roster reflects that mindset, bringing together scene staples like DLR, T>I, Teej, Objectiv, Molecular, Crystal Clear, alongside rising names including dotdash, Brook, Portrait, and more – many of whom feature on the label's latest gunfingers ready compilation, TRUST XXV.
Simply put, Trust is a family of drum & bass diehards and innovators. Releases are backed by DJ showcases, events, and a strong visual identity shaped by the Flavors art team, all feeding into the same ecosystem. With 2026 marking 10 years of Trust Audio, the label is gearing up for a big year ahead – celebrating a decade in the game while continuing to push forward with the same underground spirit that’s driven it from day one.
