Engine Room’s powerful, hypnotic hand-made industrial dance beats are rooted in underground breakbeat/techno/drum & bass & house music, with tribal & global influences.

At its heart Engine Room uses 2 bass steel pans and assorted iron and steel percussion instruments, accompanied by drum kit, African drums, hand held percussion and live electronic effects.

The band is a development of the ‘engine room’ which uses the strident ringing tones of car brake drums & steel pipe played with steel sticks to keep the beat for Caribbean steelbands.
