N-Type is an award winning Dubstep DJ/producer/Lable Owner who reigns from Surrey. He has been knocking about on the Underground scene for many years, DJing on London Pirates, producing, promoting and raving. He began mixing Jungle & drum n bass in the mid to late 90's at the age 14. As music evolved he was highly influenced by garage and darker 2-step garage. His selection brings influences from many UK underground genres all into one place. He is renound for dropping the freshest dubplates, big beats, basslines and anthems in a fresh and energetic fashion. His style is quick and techincal, continuously dropping big tune after tune to create energy and excitment on the dancefloor, whilst (when the technology is there) using FX and sampling, to create extra impact in the mix.
BRIEF HISTORY
N-Type began his career presenting an underground chart show on Delight FM with DJ Walsh. He got the opportunity from giving a mixtape in to his local record shop Big apple records. John and Hatcha liked the tape and it soon found itself in the hands of the management of Delight Fm. N-Type and Walsh made an impact and managed two drivetime shows a week, back 2 back. As time went by Walsh left the station and N-Type later took on a weekend chart show as he established a solo career. He quickly established himself as the main Dubstep DJ/producer on Delight FM and did regular guest shows on many other london pirate stations and internet stations. His mix compilations were rinsed on radio, which helped him gain recognition and bookings all over England and abroad. His shows have always concentrated on good vibes and giving the best music and talent the recognition they deserve. He is always up to date with a wide selection of dubs from the finest producers. Eventually Delight fm closed down due to unexplained circumstances and N-Type moved on to Rinse Fm. Since then he has gained internation recognition and currently presents a popular show on www.Rinse.fm every Sunday nite 11-1am. He is now in the process of expanding his show with more interveiws, guest mixes and collaberations pushing artists and their music to the fullest.
In 2005 he focused his attention on production with his first sell out Track "Square off" hitting record shops in 2005 on Southside Dubstars. He then had tracks signed other lables such as, Dubpolice, Tempa and 3.5 Records and is currently on his third release on his own lable Terrain Records. His tunes have been gaining support from many Dj's and radio stations with regular airplay on Rinse Fm, BBC Radio 1 Breezeblock thanks to Mary anne hobbs and the Dubstep show on kiss 100fm thanks to DJ Hatcha. N-Type is currently a resident at FWD & Dubpolice and has played at the mighty DMZ.
In 2006 Type was chosen by community of the Dubstepforum.com, to mix a compilation of beats created and sent in as a competition on the forum. The winning tracks were chosen by a board of judges and the mix was recorded live at kiss 100fm.
At Christmas 2006 the Dubstepforum awards started taking nominations, when the votes were counted N-Type won Best DJ and Best Radio Show 2006. http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12665&highli ght=awards
In 2007 N-Type was then given the opportunity by Ammuntion and Tempa to mix the 5th installment of Dubstep Allstars 5. The mix was released in the summer and took the critics by storm! (some of the reviews can be viewed in the photo section of the myspace). This was a sure sign of the growth of the music and the respect it was getting! You can get the mix online or in HMV, Virgin and all good record stores...
At Christmas 2007 the nominations started for the second Dubstep Forum awards. Then in late January the dubstep forum had its first awards nite @ Herbal and N-Type was proud to receive... Best DJ 2007, Best Radio Show 2007 and CD of the Year 2007.
