How does mustard taste?  How does it make you feel when the ratio is a little too heavy? It’s that screwface, eye-watering, but ultimately satisfying punch that Alex, Kieran, and Luke are looking to supply with their brand new drum and bass label: Mustard Music.  Much like the yellow condiment, the Brighton trio possess strong, sharp and unique principles that will help separate them from the rest.
