Hijinx

Hijinx is a Bristol-based duo comprised of Tim Rayner and Dan Rayner who began releasing music in 2022. The pair operates from the UK's bass music capital and has established their presence through 1985 Music, releasing five tracks through the label since their debut in April 2022.

Their sound centers on 140 BPM dubstep with deep, rolling basslines that draw from Bristol's rich bass music heritage. Hijinx produces tracks that span traditional dubstep, drumstep, and dub-influenced bass music, maintaining the weighty, sub-heavy characteristics that define the 140 scene. Their releases on 1985 Music demonstrate a focus on darker, more underground dubstep sounds rather than the aggressive, festival-oriented style, making their tracks suitable for late-night sets and bass-focused club environments.
