Signal

Not many producers can say they’ve signed music to Critical Music, Renegade Hardware
and Noisia’s Invisible Recordings in their first year of making drum and bass. At the time,
Jonathan Kievit, aka Signal, was only 16 years old, breaking into the scene with his sharp and
imaginative productions and catching the attention of some of the genre’s most respected
tastemakers including Kasra, Ant TC1, Nymfo, June Miller and of course the aforementioned
Noisia.
In late 2015 Signal introduced DJing to his long list of talents, quickly earning gigs in cities
across Europe and introducing fans to his unique three and then four deck style of mixing. All
of that followed by his Systems EP on Critical in April 2016 contributed to the meteoric rise of
the young Dutchman. Later releases in the year included appearances on Bad Taste,
Dispatch, Cyberfunk, Neodigital and an EP on Critical’s main label, before rounding it off at
the annual Drum & Bass Arena Awards, winning the coveted ‘Best Newcomer’ award.
Signal’s rise to the top is unparalleled in recent drum and bass history; from bedroom
producer to one of the genres most sought after talents in less than 2 years, with a peak to his
achievements not seeming likely any time soon.
