Over the last few years, Evol Intent has emerged as one of the leading forces in the United States Drum and Bass movement. Both as a label and as a production trio, Evol Intent are considered some of the biggest up and coming talents in the entire dnb industry. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia the crew consists of Knick, Gigantor and The Enemy. Apart from being a production outfit, Evol Intent also owns and operates their own label, which functions as an outlet for their own work as well as like-minded artists. Knick and Gigantor started Evol Intent Recordings in 2000. The Enemy joined the two quickly after they met through the Internet soon after the label was formed. After finishing school, the Enemy moved to Atlanta to devote more time and attention to Evol Intent, both as a crew and as a label. The first three releases on Evol Intent were driven by a passion to release their own music and were, for the most part, distributed by themselves in true DIY fashion. Furthermore, their punk rock roots continue to shine through to this day with projects such as home-based screen-printing and grass roots sticker campaigns. After building an underground following with their first 3 releases, Evol Intent began to get some attention from distributors, both in the USA and overseas. They wound up signing a deal with ALPHA MAGIC to handle their distribution for Evol Intent Recordings. Soon after, Evol Intent caught the eye of the award winning and historic dnb label, Renegade Hardware. Hardware had just launched a new label and they were interested in new material from Evol Intent for the label (Barcode records). After their first release with Barcode, Hardware was quick to snatch up Evol Intent and offer them an exclusive deal as permanent artists on the roster. Around the same time, legendary US dj Dieselboy approached the Evol Intent trio to do a remix for his upcoming cd, "The Dungeon Masters Guide." Upon completion of the remix, Dieselboy asked Evol Intent to do yet another remix for the cd, but this time he asked them to remix a song from a legendary producer known as BT. Beyond all of the hard work they have put in to their music in the last year, Evol Intent are showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. They have had releases on labels such as Renegade Hardware, Human imprint, Outbreak records and of course, Evol Intent Recordings and they have many plans for both their own label and others as well. This year we will see the first Evol Intent EP, debuting on Renegade Hardware, as well as countless releases on their own Evol Intent Recordings imprint. We will also see the Evol Intent crew step out overseas to embark on their first European gigs and without a doubt; they will be consistently playing shows across the United States. When all is said and done, it is safe to say that you haven't heard the last of Evol Intent.
