The rhythm section is made up of Davey and Nathan who provide a consistently cool collaboration and grinding beat for all to groove. Performing original material, Rapture UK’s blend of hip-hop, funk, reggae, rock, blues and indie creates a unique sound, combining a well measured mix of old and new, Rapture UK supply you with rocking riffs, bouncing basses, driving drums and smooth sounds for all to enjoy.
