Pola & Bryson

Whilst Harry (Bryson) grew up in rural West Yorkshire, Jack (Pola) spent his formative years in the heart of East London. These contrasting upbringings have shaped their music, manifesting as a truly unique signature sound that reflects the distinct contrast across their musical and artistic approaches. Their debut album This Time Last Year on their Soulvent Records imprint put the duo firmly on the map, and their sophomore album Lost In Thought on Shogun Audio was nominated for Best Album in the Drum&BassArena Awards. Beneath The Surface, their third album, dropped in September 2021 and showcased new heights of sonic expression, exploring musical interpretations of a journey through an imagined world. Since then, Pola & Bryson have released some of the most notable drum and bass tracks in recent years, most notably Phoneline, their collaboration with Emily Makis. This single captivated the entire scene, picking up immense streaming and radio support, as well as being dubbed by many as 2023’s D&B anthem. Alongside Phoneline, Waiting (with Sub Focus), Too Shy (with IYAMAH), Tell You What I Did ft. Zitah, and Down Low (with Gardna) have further cemented their position as one of the most exciting acts in UK dance music. On top of these scene-shattering releases, Pola & Bryson have also been nominated for multiple awards, remixed the likes of David Guetta, Moby, Wilkinson, High Contrast, and venbee, accumulated mass support from DSPs and radio, and have consistently toured their captivating DJ sets across all corners of the globe. Simply put, Pola & Bryson’s deeply rooted love for music makes it their primary creative outlet. Always striving to be inspired, innovate, and experiment, the duo have no final goal in music other than continuing to create what they enjoy. With their next major project around the corner and the most compelling music they’ve ever written still to come, the act that Sub Focus once claimed was “leading the new wave of liquid drum and bass” is ready to take centre stage. While most producers take years to write their next album, 2021 saw Pola & Bryson write and release their third studio album Beneath The Surface on Shogun Audio. A conceptual album written to an imagined landscape, this ambitious body of work has led to D&B legends such as Sub Focus praising their influence on the genre. With sophistication well beyond their years, Pola & Bryson are showing no signs of slowing down as they continue to take their music and performa
