Message from NJC
"Due to the impact of recent life-changing circumstances and serious hacking incidents, I made the decision to take my previous infrastructure offline and restart from zero. I am now working hard to restore the archives and document my full history on this platform. As I rebuild, I have also restructured my business operations to better protect my output and my health. Moving forward, releases will be strictly controlled via Neurotype Sound. Below is a quick snapshot of where you can currently get my music, along with my recent releases and further down my musical legacy while the full vault is being restored"
Coda Music
After a career soundtracking global hits like Top Gear, CSI: NY, and EastEnders, I am making my return. I’m launching my brand new artist page on Coda Music, which will serve as the primary home for my new sound. From now on, this is where you will hear my new material first—and often exclusively. Join me there to be part of the next chapter of NJC.

Only legacy NJC catalogue will be available through Spotify moving forwards. I’m phasing out releasing music through this and other platforms. I want to have a genuine connection with my fanbase and that cannot be achieved in the places on offer elsewhere. Join the revolution!

Veteran Producer NJC Breaks Silence with Brixton MC DRNO1 on Dystopian Anthem “Fuel For The Party”
LONDON, UK – The underground is about to get a wake-up call. “Fuel For The Party,” the explosive debut single from Brixton MC DRNO1, is set for release on Monday, September 29th. Produced by the veteran sound architect NJC, this track marks a significant return to the scene for the producer following a creative hiatus, delivering a sonic landscape that is as gritty as it is infectious.
“Fuel For The Party” is not just a debut; it is a collision of eras. It blends the raw, unpolished energy of South London’s lyrical prowess with the refined, heavy-hitting production techniques that NJC has honed over years in the game.
A Dystopian Vision: The Music Video Leading the charge is the official music video, premiering exclusively on YouTube on Saturday, September 27th.
Directed and produced by NJC, the visual is a groundbreaking hybrid of Generative AI and gritty real-world footage. The video plunges the viewer into a near-future dystopia—a world stripped of natural resources where the “desire to party” becomes a radical act of survival.
Set against a backdrop of a fuel-starved society, the visual narrative mirrors the track’s urgent energy. It explores the lengths humanity will go to keep the vibe alive when the lights threaten to go out forever. By blending synthetic AI visuals with raw camera work, the video creates a disorienting, high-octane aesthetic that perfectly complements the track’s driving rhythm.
The Return of NJC For industry heads, this release signals the long-awaited return of NJC. After stepping back from the limelight, NJC re-emerges with a sharpened sound, proving that the time away was spent refining a vision that is now ready for the main stage. His collaboration with DRNO1 highlights a commitment to fostering new talent while laying down the heavy, intricate production that became his signature.
Release Schedule:
YouTube Exclusive Video Premiere: Saturday, September 27th
Global Streaming Release: Monday, September 29th
“Fuel For The Party” is more than a track; it is a statement of intent from two artists ready to burn down the barriers.
About DRNO1: Hailing from Brixton, DRNO1 is a lyricist known for sharp flows and undeniable presence. “Fuel For The Party” serves as his official introduction to the global stage.
About NJC: A veteran music producer known for genre-bending soundscapes, NJC returns to the fold with this latest release, blending technical mastery with a forward-thinking visual approach.
“With ‘Purple Portal,’ I wanted to create a track that was a full narrative experience without using any words,” says NJC. “It’s about the duality we often experience—the light and the dark. The opening is that pure, hopeful feeling, but the ‘portal’ represents that sudden shift, the pull towards something more intense, unknown, and powerful. It’s a journey through contrasting emotions, all driven by the incredible energy of Drum & Bass.”
“Purple Portal” is a testament to the storytelling potential of instrumental music, offering a complex and rewarding experience for fans of cinematic sound design and high-energy electronic music.
“Purple Portal” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, Juno and all other major digital music platforms. Dare to enter the portal? #dnb #drumandbass #newmusic #electronicmusic#cinematicmusic #njcmusic #purpleportal#dnbnation#instrumentalmusic #newmusicfriday
Album Title: Classic DnB Cuts (1999–2009) Artist: NJC Release date: Friday 19th September 2025
Description: The Vault is Open.
Classic DnB Cuts represents a decade of low-end pressure and high-tempo innovation. Curated by producer NJC (Nathaniel James Clarkson), this collection gathers 15 definitive tracks from the golden era of 1999 to 2009—a time when the genre was mutating from the raw grit of tech-step into the rolling funk of the 2000s.
Featuring a blend of sought-after dubs and fan favorites, this anthology documents the evolution of the NJC sound. From the rolling, Suffolk-influenced sub-lows to the intricate breakbeat science that defined his releases on labels like L.Plates and Sativa, this is Drum and Bass in its purest form.
Every track has been meticulously digitally remastered for 2025, stripping away the dust of the DAT tapes to reveal the punch and clarity required for modern sound systems.
This album is not just a look back; it is the first strike in a new wave of releases from NJC in 2025.
Includes: 15 Tracks Remastered: 2025 Genre: Drum & Bass / Jungle / Tech-Step
