Bottled in England consist of drummer August Dyrborg, 25, and Daniel Vognstrup, 25. As the boys grew up together in the suburbs of Copenhagen, a musical bond developed between them that would eventually send them on a musical journey leading through everything from punk to big band music. At the end of 2009, they decided to pursue new horizons and began exploring the electronic bass universe. One year passed locked in a rehearsal studio and the Bottled in England concept was born – the first steps were taken on the nightclub scenes around Copenhagen.
After no more than eight concerts Bottled in England was announced for Roskilde Festival’s Pavilion Junior and managed to break the record, according to the head of security, for the largest audience at the upcoming scene in 2011. An amazing line-up – featuring the likes of Silas Bjerregaard of Turboweekend – combined with numerous quotes of approval from media outlets – such as this one from the Guardian: ”Expect to be pleasantly surprised by Bottled in England's sophisticated take on drum n' bass” – ensured Bottled in England its rightful place on the map of European electronic music. By establishing their own record label, Structure Music Company, and releasing their debut EP, Believe the Hype, the duo began touring the Danish festivals and then went on to the rest of Europe.
