Fred V & Grafix

British drum n bass duo from Exeter, Devon, England, formed in 2009 and splitted in 2018. They have been making regular appearances on BBC Radio 1Xtra and mini mixes on Annie Mac's show. Initially into live music, the pair converted to drum and bass when they heard Pendulum's controversial and genre-changing album 'Hold Your Colour' and High Contrast's sophomore 'High Society'. Influenced by an eclectic range of sounds outside of D+B, from rock, funk, soul & jazz, electro/French house, ambient and hip hop; Fred V & Grafix cite artists such as Coldplay, Arcade Fire, Bombay Bicycle Club, Biffy Clyro, Alt-J, Ben Howard, The 1975, The Naked & Famous, Flying Lotus, Bonobo, Dilla and Jimi Hendrix as key inspirations, alongside fellow Hospital artists High Contrast and Logistics.
