We are here to make big tunes, create moments and build a platform to release renegade art in whatever way we see fit
We drove a tank through the front door of the dnb scene in October 2020 arriving with a bootleg of SAINt Jhn's anthem Roses. Given away on our social media pages, within two weeks, it was being played on national radio and by the scene's biggest players
We decided to initially stay anonymous clad in balaclavas and boiler suits. No one from the scene knew who we were or where we had come from which was exactly the way we wanted it.
Following Roses, the first EP in the now infamous series " Cliques Got Dubs" was released which came out on our own label CCA. This series was created with the intent of releasing music that showcased the full 360 sounds of dnb and allowed us not to be pigeonholed into one specific sound.

The impact of these releases on the scene was immediate and quickly gained momentum, leading to opportunities for remixing and collaborating with some huge names and labels across drum & bass.
We’ve been supported by Hybrid Minds, Andy C, Pendulum, Friction, London Elektricity, The Prototypes and many more of the scene's leading figures .
Our music also received national daytime radio support from Radio One, Kiss Fm and George Fm.
We've produced sing-along and throw-up-your-gun-fingers bangers that have featured legendary vocalists such as Grim Sickers, Bassman, R.A The Rugged Man, Marianna Ray, Pablo Lazers, Celph Titled and many more.
“As of 2023, we have decided to reveal more about ourselves as we continue to evolve and grow as CLIQUES.”
The group members are Phil (aka Specimen A) and Paul (also sometimes known as Pablo Lazers).
Phil has released scene anthems in DNB, dubstep, breaks, and house remixing artists such as Fatboy Slim, Friction, Excision, and many more. Paul's history is more vague, and that's the way he likes it.
Ex-Member Mo also played a key part in the band's early sound but left to pursue other interests with our full support.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
“No one knows if they’re genuinely new to the game or just an exceptionally well-kept secret.”
UKF
“With an emphasis on top-end production, this is a posse to keep a close eye on.”
Knowledge Mag
“I hate when music’s this good and the identity is hidden! Reveal yourselves CLIQUES!”
Danny Howard, Radio One
“WE HAVE A DEEP LOVE FOR D&B AND WE TAKE OUR MUSIC SERIOUSLY BUT WE DO OUR UTMOST TO NOT JUST FOLLOW TRENDS FOR THE SAKE OF IT.”
This is much bigger than a music project for us and people should expect to see us delve into new areas soon.
Be prepared for curveballs, be prepared for wtf moments and be prepared for CLIQUES.
“it’s me behind the music”
“No matter what CLIQUES say, it’s me behind the music. You can believe what you want, but it’s me Barry Enders aka Brappy Evans creating these bangers and I am an anthem making machine. No stopping until I’ve made a classic. The end.”
