LBA174 Studios was created for one simple reason, we wanted clothing that genuinely represented our passion for drum & bass.
Drum & bass has been a huge part of our lives for around 20 years. Between us, we've been to countless raves, festivals and events across the UK. LBA174 was created from that passion. We simply wanted a brand we could wear ourselves, something that proudly represents the music we love. Many of the images you see across our website, social media and even some of our t-shirt designs come from our own photo galleries. They have been captured over years of being part of the scene ourselves. It's our way of keeping everything authentic and staying true to the culture that inspired LBA174 in the first place.
Whether you're heading to a rave or just out with friends, drum & bass is more than the music playing through the speakers. For many of us, a huge part of who we are. We wanted to create clothing that reflects that.
LBA174 stands for Life's Better at 174BPM. It's a simple phrase that drum & bass fans can all agree with and the sense of belonging that comes with the scene.
Our designs are inspired by everything that makes drum & bass special. From legendary events and warehouse raves to late night sets and the creativity of the community. Every collection is built with the people who live and breathe DnB.
We don't believe your favourite t-shirt should only come out a few weekends a year. That's why we create clothing that's just as comfortable worn every day as it is at a festival, warehouse or in a club. Whether you're travelling to an event, meeting friends or simply want to show your love for the music, LBA174 is designed to fit into everyday life.
As we are very small brand, every item is made to order. This helps us avoid unnecessary waste while focusing on creating quality pieces rather than mass producing stock. It also means we can spend more time creating new designs inspired by the culture we love.
This blog is an extension of that passion. Alongside our latest collections, you'll find practical festival guides, rave tips, drum & bass culture, artist spotlights, outfit inspiration and articles for anyone who shares our love of life at 174 BPM.
LBA174 isn't just a clothing brand. It's a celebration of the people who queue outside raves in the rain; spend months counting down to the next festival; discover new artists every week and never get tired of hearing that first drop.
If drum & bass is part of your life, you're in the right place.
Life's Better at 174BPM.
